Theater Posters

So as I research for this project I realise I don't actually know that many playwrights/ screenwriters, and of the ones I do know, I've only seen one or two of their works, but not three...

I've settled on doing this project on Tennessee Williams.

1. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
2. A Streetcar Named Desire
3. The Glass Menagerie or The Rose Tattoo

Unfortunately, the only one I'm actually familiar with is "A Streetcar Named Desire", but hopefully after reading numerous summaries on the other two I'll develop enough of an understanding to create posters for them. We'll see how it goes!

Cool. I wonder how often in work situations, designers have to work from summaries of movies or plays. I remember hearing from one art director, how he never read any the articles he designed magazine covers for. I've heard others who say it's imperative to be intimate with the material.

you can watch the movies.

might be more fun than reading summaries.
