We Are Here
Another project I did for the SPVA at USM was a poster/ ad design for our annual event called “The Big Show”. The Big Show is similiar to the SPVA’s Revelry event in that the school hosts tons of different workshops, events, and speakers to share the experiences of other artists, dancers, and performers. I decided to design this project as a ticket for the big show. I chose orange and blue because they’re attention grabbing and complimentary. It also helped that it wasn’t the cliche’ monochromatic red that is usually present when designing for anything theatre. I used a halftone image of curtains for the background to help give some depth to the image and contrast with the ticket itself.
The blue grid pattern presented on the ticket is indicative of a stage light, shining down to show a unique pattern and set the scene. While I very much could have used a normal solid spot light, I felt that providing a pattern gave the design a unique feeling and pattern. The display type is used in multiple different ways to help show the variety involved in the event without going overboard. Because of Covid-19, this design was used primarily as a social media ad. The design itself however could also be used as a real ticket for the event itself.
