Project 3 (Brief) - Visuals for a Theatre Poster

I chose the play Blithe Spirit after reading up on the summary of the story and because I like the comedy genre. I had never heard of the play before, so I had a lot of research to do to get a feel for it all. I started by watching the play and chose the earliest version I could find online. This one happened to feature the playwright of Blithe Spirit, Noël Coward, as the main character Charles Condomine.

I took some screencaps of some interesting scenes to draw from since I thought it could become inspirational material for my ideas later. I made some notes whilst I watching the play and decided to think in colour as well, hence this word wall at the end.

I thought of an idea for a possible visual, so I drew it right away. It's based on the first séance in the play, when it's still all fun and games for Charles. I then came up with an alternate typography idea, keeping with the theme of the hands. I decided to stop since it was not very legible.
