Poster Design: A Midsummer Night’s Dream

adesign — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:53:30 +0000

A little foray into the art of photography for this poster design! We had a great time shooting it, and the actresses loved wearing their actual wedding dresses again! Here’s the press release for the play by the Weird Sisters Women’s Theater Collective:

Lord, what fools these mortals be!

Austin’s favorite all-woman troupe is back for their seventh annual production, keeping Shakespeare weird with a modern rendition of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Austin Lovers Hermia and Lysandra long to don their wedding dresses and make a lifetime commitment to one another, but Hermia’s father Egeus implores Republican governor Theseus to throw the book at the same-sex couple to make room for his preferred son-in-law Demetrius, who is in turn lusted after by the lovely and lovelorn Helena.

The four skip town, seeking solace in the hill country woods, but even their high quality R.E.I. gear can’t keep them safe from the machinations of the meddling Puck and the fairy courts of Oberon and Titania. Join the Weird Sisters Women’s Theater Collective from August 18-21 and 25-27 in this whimsically relevant take on one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies.

When: August 18-21 and 25-27, 8pm & Sunday at 2pm

Where: Center Stage Texas – 2826 Real Street – Austin, TX 78722

Tickets: Reserve online at Brownpapertickets.com and at the door.

Custom WordPress Theme: Photography by Vanessa

Vanessa Escobedo is an amazing and talented Austin wedding and portrait photographer. In her blog redesign project, we revamped her logo to give it a clean, crisp, modern look and moved her over to a blog powered by WordPress. We created a custom blog theme that was wide enough to accommodate larger images, moved the navigation to the top and the sidebar to the footer of the site. Now she has a place to display her vibrant images on a large scale! Her blog has a fading Flash header in which she can insert and remove images herself, in fact, she has total control over the text and images on the entire blog.
