Artist Repertory Theatre Revenge Campaign

The project was to create a series of posters that represented three plays with the theme of revenge. When I was brainstorming how to visualize revenge I thought about how the act of revenge is heavy, bold, and usually hasty and messy.

I chose an Astrobright color palette to represent the boldness and shock that is revenge. To create a uniform tone between all the posters I chose to make all the photography black and white and the type uniform. Revenge is represented with iconography from each play; In Hamlet it’s poison. In Sweeny Todd it’s the straight razor. In Revenge with Music it’s represented through the bride at a wedding.

I photographed each element separately and composited the images together in Photoshop to make each poster.
