This poster design comes as part of a range of promotional material i designed in relation to a college theatre production of the rocky horror picture show. Out of a range of briefs in which i was presented, this one in particular caught my eye. I began to picture different skills and techniques which i feel i could use to create each element of the expected promotional materials. Before sketching out any ideas i began taking pictures of things which i felt would be relevant, and would gather me inspiration. The photograph which is displays within this design was taken of a male wearing a pair of fish net tights, he also wore navy blue stiletto shoes. Using CAD and my development skills, i used Adobe Photoshop to edit a few different photographs that i had taken, and this is the one i personally thought was the most successful. I decided on a complimentary colour scheme for each of these elements, which i picked up from researching into previous designs by other people. I also watched the film, so that i could get a clear idea of what to include on each piece.
Here are a couple of other examples of promotional material that i have decided in relation to the same theme. The first one displays a flyer which provides information for the public stating times and dates etc. Underneath this i have the entry ticket, the ticket also displayed the complementary theme, displaying similar information and the price of viewing. To make each of these designs recognizable for the 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' i decided to keep the original bold font, so that the public would be drawn to it straight away.
This is what my poster design would look like in situe, i think it works really well, it displays all of the relevant information, and it very eye catching in relation to the needs of the theatre and the production. Personally i think it works as it is not over the top, it displays just enough and is very legible and recognizable to the public.
