a tabloid poster for a musical, 2018
In fall of 2018 Prof. Dr. Marti Runnels reached out to me to design a tabloid poster for his musical Into the Woods with music by Stephen Sondheim and based on the book by James Lapine. This piece is inspired by the Serbian graphic design and typography from the early 1980’s. The basic element of this poster is the tree. The trunk of the tree is made of the letter I, and the foliage is comprised of the letter O both sampled from the font Helvetica Bold. The rows of black trees that resemble the woods are in visual unity with the white header. The title is organized around three capitalized letters O. The counters (partially or impartially enclosed areas within certain letters), are drawn in the shapes of three green trees. The composition is structured in a one-point perspective beginning with the widest row of black trees in the foreground and ending with three green trees in header.
