Big Hair Productions are newly formed company which put on small theatre type shows for weddings and corporate parties. The show consists of three incredible singers performing songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's. When performing they are dressed in the respective decade fashions.
My job was to design a double sided A5 flyer, A2 posters (one for each decade) and also create a banner to hang behind them on stage.
This was a new style of design for me, this was my first theatre production design. I went to several theatres and picked up a bunch of leaflets for the upcoming shows, I noticed that they were all terribly designed. Seriously, how can any of these productions live with themselves. It just seemed that they had all been designed (and i use that word loosely) in a 5 minutes, probably using something like Microsoft Word!!
Having seen the tripe which production companies get done, I think I have every opportunity of getting new clients in this field and doing the actual productions justice. Theatre production design seems very similar to Promotional design, of which I'm very experienced.
