House Arrest Poster
Illustrator - 12"x18" Poster, Letter-sized Flyer
A friend who teaches theater at a local highschool asked me if I could design a poster for a play that he was producing by Anna Deavere Smith. The concepts it dealt with were rich with imagery so this was a no-brainer. This image was done in a day, my contact asked me to portray the White House as though it were a prison. The play involves character issues among politicians. The final image was used on a 12" x 18" poster, a letter-sized poster and was also to be projected against the stage for the opening and intermission of the performance.
