Fair Maid of the West

The Fair Maid of the West is an English Renaissance adventure play. Our production wanted to feel like a giddy, silly, madcap romp. My inspiration was the classic poster art for Muppet Treasure Island - the Muppets were a perfect touchstone for an ensemble cast of goofuses on a journey together. I styled each actor individually for a photoshoot with Ashley, then digitally combined them into a single poster. The isolated images were then styled and launched via social media to boost organic PR for the show.
