a tabloid poster for a historical drama, 2019
This poster was made for Wayland Baptist University’s Theatre department. The play was written by Prof. Kathryn Walat in 2011 and directed by Prof. Marti Runnels. This historical drama is set in 1855 in the Kansas Territory during the violent conflict over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. A windmill is recognizable icon of the American Midwest. The dripping blood all over the prairie foreshadows the oncoming civil war. The large margins pay homage to the feeling of isolation and division between the Kansans. The slab serif typography is from the period.
