Made In Earnest

Pinch and a punch… and a new month means a new poster for The Jazz Meet. This one was done with Estonian illustrator Triinu Lille.

I’ve been working for the Actors Touring Company recently, designing the promotional material for a recent show, The Golden Dragon, an interim company brochure and I’ve also done all the promotional material for their interpretation on the Sarah Kane play Crave.

New poster and e-flyer for Nicole Conibere’s Practice at the Laban Theatre. Practice is a playful and intimate exploration into what we practise when we go to see theatre.

I did it last year and I liked it so I thought I should carry on the practice. In fact it might just inspire me to do it for other suitable projects. Maybe… As you will be able to see there was no event in January, hence the gap top left of the review. You [...]

One of my regular clients, Acland Burghley School, has an annual Dance Show for which I do the invite and the poster. This year’s title is Burghley In Motion and the show takes place at the end of January at the Bloomsbury Theatre.
