the shape of a girl


the top one is the 'real' final version . . . even though i really like the placement of the flower in the bottom one . . . oh well!


so here's the final version of the poster for pegasus . . . i like the way it turned out . . . its kind of a long story to have gotten from the last one to this one . . .

it started with the poster i made when i was actually interning there . . . i used a photo of a friend of mine that i took this summer with the poster in mind . . . they really like it but said that it'd be cool if we could use the actress who was in the show . . . so they sent me a few pictures and that turned into the poster that i posted a few weeks ago . . . then, seeing that one with her picture they said that they wondered if i could make it a little bit more 'theatrical' . . . so, i started working on the existing poster, while creating a new one . . . and the new one is the one they picked! woot! i wasn't really sure they'd go for it . . . since i had made a funky poster for the young playwright's festival and they didn't really go for it and i ended up recreating the old poster . . .

  1. Wow! What an improvement from the earlier version, and that one wasn't bad. I like being able to see the flower in the lower one, but prefer the trees in the top version. From far away it seems like a furrowed brow. Nice piece for your portfolio. I prefer the light text on dark background to the earlier version. It catches your eye more. Yay!

  2. oh, katherine, to answer your question from eariler . . . the flower is from a photo . . . i used the magic wand to select areas of color and the used that to build up the flower image that is on the poster :)

  3. Wow, I really love the final version. I draws me in so much more than the one you posted previously. Good work.
