Rangashankara is a dynamic cultural space that is dedicated to quality theatre and theatre arts. ‘Aha’ is Rangashankara’s brainchild that focuses on bringing the magic of theatre to children. This platform for children organizes an Annual Theatre Festival each year where this year’s theme revolved around animals and nature. Our task was to create individual posters for the series of plays featuring at the festival. Having made ourselves familiar with the plays, we set out on a journey to create something memorable and exciting.

We wanted the posters to be striking and playful at the same time. Hence, we decided to take the central theme for each play and create bold black illustrations out of the same. The illustrations were juxtaposed with bright colours and playful typography. The hand-written font felt perfect in terms of its resemblance to a child’s writing, without the issue of legibility.

Even though the design solution looks simple at first, the design achieved what it set out to do – condensing ideas into something memorable and unique.
