CBU SUMMER SHAKESPEARE
Poster designs for the CBU School of Performing Arts outdoor summer Shakespeare festival.

  • The marketing campaign artwork uses stark visual contrasts to bridge two mirrored plays: the classic tragedy of Hamlet and the comedy of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

    The Hamlet poster features a striking, monochromatic design centered on the ghost of Hamlet’s father. This stark imagery serves as a visual metaphor for the psychological weight, deception, and heaviness of the crown.

    In contrast, the poster for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead breaks the black-and-white palette with vibrant pops of red. Featuring a stylized skull wearing a clown nose and a festive hat, the artwork captures Tom Stoppard's surreal, tragicomic tone.
