Description This is the base for my GREASE poster. I am directing the musical and I have spent a lot of time working on designing the show and doing the advertisement is one of my jobs. I want to clean up a few things before I do a massive printing but this is it so far.

This was built in Ai and then Ps all of it is vector images.

This is fabulous. I do, however, have a slight beef with the color. The red is a little too blood red, I think. I'm not sure which direction you could push it, but blood is the first thing I thought of when I looked at the thumbnail.
Otherwise, though, this thing is so awesome. Totally the spirit of the show.

Didn't really think of blood, but I can see your point. I was trying to make it stand out since the show is so popular its really hard to come up with an original design. On the final poster I did tone down the color a bit so the red on the car would pop more and added drop shadows for the dancers so they don't look like they are floating. Thanks for the feedback.

Haha. Awesome. I love the car. Just the overall effect and exact shade of the red made me think of blood. But that was probably just me. And I hear you on original design. Stuff can get super cliche super fast.
I'm glad the car stands out more in the final. And I think the design is superb. That was just me having nitpicky suggestions.
Great poster design!

Thanks so much. Sometimes I wish I could make a living at just designing theater posters. Check out my other ones when you get a chance.

awesome! I am absolutely in love with the typography, it looks great. You have done a perfect job of the composition, the vision is just amazing for this piece. Also nice work with getting the correct perspective on the car, the decal would of been a bugger to get right but you executed it wonderfully

Thanks for the kind words. I had to take off the rest of the required info from this piece so that the design would stand alone, but for publication I have to add all the in conjunction with, rights royalties, dates, etc. It still looks cool with a different font but rarely do I get a chance in the public eye to just have the design. I love typography I have a 500g external that is nothing but fonts that I have collected over the years.

Very nice! My roommate got the lead role in this play at ENMU-R campus. She'll be excited to see this.
