THE REQUIREMENT

Submit an 11x17 print of an ad for the play Dracula at MRU. You will also be required to give a two-minute presentation describing your design rationale. You will also submit a 500-word summary justifying your design.

THE RESPONSE

I used imagery of a dark cathedral area as the background, and a phot of a Dracula-like person together to tell the story of Dracula. I used the photo to bring personal interest to the ad in order to draw people towards it.

Thanks to Richard Turnbull for posing as Dracula for this production, and to Branka Turnbull for the photography.

KISS OF DEATH ?

The most time-consuming part of this was to make the person look more vampire-like. I learned a lot about Photoshop in this process.
