Or you could…
Imagine your idea is going to be made into a stage play/musical (no, not a movie) and this would be the poster promoting it!
Or any original interpretation of a theatre production poster (not a movie!).”
OVERVIEW: Paper artworks inspired by theatre posters with a focus on older styles to compliment the vinyl artwork on the Victoria Theatre. The posters are to be installed on both sides of the lane way, capturing the feel of a rich history of theatre that the area is famous for.
The following examples of theatre posters indicate the potential style and scope the project could have. The poster’s content can vary from black and white to full colour, a mix of text, images and an array of fonts. The sizes can vary from small handbill sizes, to large A1.
