Publicity Poster
Create an original promotional poster for one of the plays we have read. Your poster should excite the public’s attention and compel them to see the production. Use imagery from the play to arrive at a central, commanding image. Your poster design will give the potential audience a visual clue of the theme and mood of the production. A justification paragraph should accompany your poster.
There are several poster building sites online. I have used poster My Wall several times and find it easy to navigate. It is also FREE!! If you are more experienced feel free to use other software programs.
You should also include in the design the title of the play, playwright, dates and times of the production, location of the production (we will use the Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre), and cost of tickets. You may also want to include a provocative quote from a critic or performer.
I stress original. I am familiar with many of the poster designs one can find online. Plagiarism will be treated as outlined in the syllabus. Have fun. The Publicity Poster is due by the conclusion of our exam period (Monday, May 10 from 11-1pm).
