Hollywood Fringe Festival 2010 Guide Cover
When it came time to design the cover for the guide of the first Fringe festival, I experimented with lots of different ideas, including mixing stencils and spray paint with photographs, but it all seemed kind of flat to me. I wanted a really colorful image with lots of depth and visual interest. I came up with an idea for what is basically a photographed diorama -- the freaks are made out of clay in front of a paper Hollywood skyline and hills, with a flock of over 100 hand-cut birds flying in the sky above spelling out "2010" with the negative space. Here are a few behind-the-scenes photos:
The birds were attached to 30 lengths of fishing line, each weighted with washers to keep them taut. The whole setup was built using a folding laundry rack.
