Anne of Green Gables Done

Another successful SKIT Theatre production is a wrap and they are on to the next one. Again I was honored to be able to participate through my graphic design help. As usual I am very impressed with how this local group pulls off these teen plays and musicals. They always surprise me by how good they are.

Some of the items I designed. Photo of Anne taken by Meredith Mooney.

My beautiful daughter earned a role in the cast and had a great time singing and dancing. I guess you can see which one is her by the large arrow (can you tell I'm proud?).

Anne of Green Gables

I've been very busy lately but I thought I'd take a minute or two to show a couple of pieces of a project I've been working on. Below is the main poster for the next SKIT Theatre production. I'm still waiting on the sponsors to be confirmed so I can add them to the bottom.

And here are some of the cast sporting the shirt I designed at the taping of a TV spot to air here locally. 

I'll post more on this as I get the other pieces completed.

Follow The Golden Road

This year my home church is basing the theme for it's summer Vacation Bible School on a very loose adaption of the Wizard of Oz. I had the privilege to design a logo for it.  I have said before and I'll say it again that I enjoy working on logos for kids because it's just really fun to me. Below is the finished logo.

I really hope there will be flying monkeys in the skits and that my son gets to play one. 

Oliver Promo Pieces

In my spare time I've been working on designs for a production of Oliver that my son is acting in. I got the printed posters, tee shirts and the yard signs all last week.

I decided on the tee shirt and yard sign that I would not include the vintage texturing in the art but instead go with a more clean look. On the shirts I was concerned about the hands printing good anyway so I thought adding more texture to them could cause problems and make the hands look like they had lines on them like older or weathered hands. Since the hands are supposed to be those of a young boy I thought I better not risk the weathering making them look older. I think I made the right choice. With the yard signs I thought it would be better to keep them as simple as possible since they are supposed to be read from a car as it goes by.

The printing on all three pieces turned out great and I'm pleased with how they came out. Now I just hope that they do their job and bring people out to see the show.
