Poster design for Tromteatret
Tromteatret is a humorous stage show in Tromsdalen, Norway written and directed by people aged 17-25 and features a cast and crew in junior high school aged 12-15. The producers asked me to design a poster for their 2008 show.
The poster is printed in a run of 400-500 and is plastered around the city of Tromsø. In addition, everyone who participates keeps a poster.
2008 markes the 20th annual show, so they wanted a birthday theme, featuring the posters from the previous years.
As I received all the posters from 1988 up to now, I noticed most of them shared a very similar layout with the name on the top and the info at the bottom. I suggested that we break the convention with a diagonal layout for the 20th show to give it some more dynamism and to be more playful. I also thought it was important that the poster was ‘on its own’ rather than just a collection of the previous posters, because it will hang on the wall of a lot of people.
The colourful background pattern resembles a birthday wrapping paper and the diagonal text has a hierarchy with size and placement. I wanted the poster to say ‘this is our legacy, and this is how cool we are in 2008′.
The title says: Tromteatret 2008, reaches 20 and moves away from home
