Death of a Salesman

I had the incredible fortune of being selected as Assistant Director in my local theatre group's production of Death of a Salesman. Although it was great learning from an experienced director, learning to communicate with actors, get a deeper understanding of staging, lighting and sound....it was great to also make these posters.

Disney

I never liked the VHS and DVD and BluRay covers for a lot of the Disney releases, they always looked a bit silly to me. I always thought of Disney as quality art, and their posters should reflect that. I remade all the posters for the Disney Animation Set. Here are a few of my favourites.

Next to Normal

Next To Normal was an incredible local performance I was not involved in, but I was inspired to make some posters for. This was the outcome. I wanted a 'floating heads' style and specifically to convey the chaos of the show by having all the characters looking in different directions and not at each other.

MIB

The Men in Black movie posters are usually very dark, and ominous, but the films are quite colourful and spectacular. I saw a disconnect, and wanted to bring some of the suave action posing and swirl it up with some colour and sci-fi. This was the outcome.

The Crucible

These were some pieces used as promotional posters for social media for a local performance of The Crucible by Campbelltown Theatre Group. I wanted to convey the darkness of the play, and tried to select striking images that looked like they were happening in the middle of scenes. I didn't want anything to look posed, I wanted dark and raw. I also wanted the performers to be the focal point, so having the title appear behind them I think conveyed that well.

Star Wars

A not so long time ago, in a house not too far away I saw some incredible mural art and thought they would make great posters.
