The Hamlet poster for the Shawnigan Lake Players is a bold reimagining of Shakespeare’s tragedy, blending modern urban aesthetics with the play’s iconic skull imagery for a striking, unforgettable design.
The Process:
I started with the core visual—the skull, a universally recognized symbol of mortality and Hamlet’s existential struggle. Instead of a traditional, classical approach, I infused it with a raw, urban edge, incorporating elements like gritty textures, bold graphic contrasts, and dynamic negative space to give the poster a contemporary feel.
The typography follows suit, mixing sharp, modern sans-serifs with distressed or hand-drawn letterforms, echoing street art or punk rock posters. The color contrast is high-impact, possibly stark black and white with bold, dramatic red accents, drawing immediate attention while reinforcing the themes of blood, fate, and tragedy.
Layered details—perhaps subtle halftones, ink splatters, or fragmented imagery—add depth, making the design feel visceral and cinematic. The final composition ensures that, whether viewed from afar or up close, the poster is as gripping as the play itself—bold, moody, and unforgettable.
