As a comedy and romance, this play challenges gender normatives and gives insight to traditional family roles in American society.

This 20 inch by 30 inch poster has a variety of textures, gradients, and depths. By using a simple, odd, yet popular quote from the movie “Cocka-doodle-doo” The viewer is immediately intrigued by its context. There is a lot of contrast between the headline and the environment it is set in, therefore giving it more visual interest. The colors chosen are a nod to the popular Art Deco movement during the plays time period. They also reflect a dawn sunrise to go in cohesion to the rooster in the center of the composition.

The creative process included thumbnails and rough drafts that had different details from beginning to end. The final poster incorporated different parts of the play and the characters personalities. The solution was to create a poster that encompassed the entire plot line even in its chaos.
