Design for Theatre & Events

Are you looking to advertise your show or event with an eyecatching promotional image? I have been creating marketing material for over ten years and use my skills as a graphic desinger and photographer to create designs that speak volumes about your event and appeal to your target audience.

Whether using illustration or photography, I can create your inital design and apply it to print-ready posters, flyers and programmes. I can also resize the artwork to fit websites and social media platforms.

If you are interested in taking your production marketing to the next level please check out the examples of my work, and the pricing packages below, then get in touch for a commitment-free chat about your requirements and what I can offer you.

Illustration & Graphics

These designs are all illustration or graphics based. They work well for advertising children's or comedy shows or to evoke a particular style or era. This is a good choice if you want to get your advertising out before you have your cast available to photograph.

Cast Photo Designs

All of these posters started with a photoshoot with the cast in costume. The marketing image is then created using the best photo from the shoot. All of these designs have been through photoshop to a greater or lesser extent to produce the final image.

Pantomimes

Panto is a law unto itself, the general rule of thumb when it comes to the design (as with the performance itself) is to chuck everything at it. These posters have cast images, illustration, graphics, glitter and glow for a traditional eyecatching panto vibe.
