Hamlet Theatre Poster

Well its finally finished. I have used Marco lens to capture the detail of a human mouth to fit in with the disgusting texture of the ox tongue. Now the tongue is in context it no longer looks like a piece of meat which wasn't previously communicating very well to its audience.

Theatre Poster 4

This image fits with the rest of the photographic posters but doesn't really communicate to the viewer. Yes this is really a cows tongue, disgusting I know.

This next poster is too fit with my scans but I'm still having trouble making it look like a tongue.

I'm trying to get a ghostly feeling with this poster, but still feeling like the communication is still not there.

Posters created with the use of the scans which I feel has the impact I wanted. But now its the question of whether to use this style or the photographs done in the studio? The forth poster for Hamlet, I am still trying to fit the image of the tongue with the other posters.

Theatre Posters

This is me trying a different approach with photographing body parts. People at uni thought I was very odd. Above is a ox heart, (the size of a football), pig's eyes and an ox tongue (also completely huge). False teeth was also used as the focus for Twelfth Night.

Shakespeare Posters

The idea was to sum up the play with a particular quote I felt was influencial to the play. I felt a common theme was the association with body parts. Inspired by Vaughan Oliver, i wanted to capture a line from the play in the form of a body part to shock and entise a potential viewer.

Live Theatre Newcastle

The brief was to create a series of theatre posters
advertising Shakespeare’s plays rescripted
into a modern day setting. The brief was to
create posters appropriate for a
semi-professional theatre group travelling
around the country. My first point of research was to see existing theatres up in Newcastle and get a feel for the environment where they would be used.
