The play centered around fairy tales that come to life as they are being read to a little girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To convey this, I chose to design the image with the outline of a girl rising out of the book (with a bit of a wing-like silhouette) below. I chose a dark background to convey the mystery behind the play, and the red and white design and text contrast and stand out against it as the focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create this design, I first sketched out the silhouette of the girl by hand, scanned the drawing, and traced it with the Pen Tool in Adobe Illustrator. I then drew one side of the book with the Pen Tool, copied it, and reflected it. I placed the girl and the book together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary text is a script font. I think it is appropriate for the fairy tale theme, and it is also very stylized and large to draw viewers&#8217; attention to it before the secondary text. The primary text is aligned left in the left corner, and wraps around the girl on that side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the opposite side, the design is mostly dark with the smaller text below that is aligned with the right edge of the book&#8217;s page. This creates uneven balance and tension, and leads the viewers&#8217; eyes to view the secondary text after the eye-catching title. The all-capitalized serif font looks formal and contrasts well with the script text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The purpose of this project was to create a promotional poster mockup for an upcoming play at Saint Leo University.
