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.

More Theatre Posters

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.

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.

London

In the aid of "research" I travelled to London to visit the West End to soak up the atmosphere and do further research into my theatre project. I also discovered Harrods 70th anniversary celebration with the amazing theme the Wizard of Oz which ran throughout the store. Everything from window displays to decorating the whole building to look like Emerald City. Fantastic.
