Poster Work

Here is the poster I’ve designed for The Lincoln Company’s run of shows at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe. If you’re up there for the Fringe you should go see one of them, or even more if you’re feeling adventurous. Tickets available from the nice people at C venues by calling 0845 260 1234 or on their website.
Flyers Once More

Recently my graphical-cobbling-togetherness skills have been requisitioned by The Lincoln Company (Basically the performing arts department at Lincoln) to design their publicity for this year’s run at the Edinburgh Fringe. If you’re up there, go check some of them out.

Here, for your delectation, are another couple of posters I’ve cobbled together. One for a school variety performance thing, one for an production going on in Lincoln. Unlike the previous ones made in Inkscape, these two are thrown together in Apple’s Pages.

I just thought I’d share some of my poster creating madness with you all. One is for The Drama Society’s latest production, the other is for a friend’s dance showcase. Both are created by me using the very lovely and open source Inkscape.

- The Taming of the Shrew
The poster for Lift Off is entirely vector, since one of the requirements for it was that we would be able to print copies at A0 size. Being vector this poster will recreate flawlessly on the plotters in the university. The Taming of the Shrew poster is vector except for the photograph at the bottom, since the photo is at a high enough resolution that reproductions up to A3 will not have noticeable pixellation.
Graphic Design Failure
Dec2
Oops...
However, somebody in the graphic design department has fallen into the classic trap of knowing exactly what they used for the icon, and not stepping back and taking an objective look at the finished product. It’s not a stretch of the imagination, if you squint a bit, to turn this particular icon into a closeup of a wine glass.
Thanks to Alex who let me know of this particular failure.
