I redesigned the Mudpie Play Flyer while working at Mudlark Theater in Evanston. I was given a copy of the old version of the flyer and was told to only leave the text and change a few sentences and dates. I was told to change the whole look of the flyer into a simpler and more modern look. This is a play created based on creative writing submitted to Mudlark Theater, so I found some inspiration and created an Art Board in Pinterest with the design styles that I was looking for.
Below you can see the original poster compared to my redesign on the right. I was not given a lot of time to complete this project, but I was happy with the end result.
Since I liked the idea of an ink pen and abstract ink art on top of the flyer, I created these shapes in Adobe Illustrator as vector shapes. One of my supervisors wanted the background of the flyer to look like a page in a notebook paper, so I also created that in Illustrator.
I used the text from the original flyer and added all of the new designs that I created.
After showing different drafts to my supervisors and getting their feedback after each draft, I finally came up with a design they were happy with and that they used as a flyer for Mudpie Play.
