Graphic Design Projects at Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Once the pandemic hit, my job as a scenic painter and a props person had to change as the theatre I worked for was unable to create live theatre. I started producing more graphic design to help market the multimedia shows we were producing. I had already taken some classes and had some experience with the Adobe Suite, but I’ve become more proficient with Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign creating marketing graphics.
Graphic Design for Radio Know
Radio Know was a program that Know Theatre of Cincinnati started during quarantine. It involved casting and recording audio plays that could be purchased on our website. I came up with a poster and marketing graphics for many of the plays in collaboration with the playwrights and the directors- here is a selection of my favorites. We live streamed talkbacks for each performance, and I designed graphics for each event.
Graphic Design for The Other Side of Silence (TOSOS)
One of our Radio Know Plays, which I had designed a poster for, was supposed to premier in NYC at the theatre company: TOSOS. The production was delayed due to covid, and after seeing my original design, the company reached out and asked me to create their marketing content for the show. I designed graphics for social media platforms and will be designing content for their signage outside of The Flea Theatre. The production has been postponed once again to the summer of 2022, due to Covid Restrictions. It was a wonderful experience getting to design for a well respected LGBTQ company.
