Julia Lavigne is a native of Slidell,
Louisiana and has appeared on stage at Slidell Little Theatre in several YATS
and main stage productions over the years. After graduating from Slidell
High School, she moved to Savannah, Georgia to attend the Savannah College of
Art and Design to receive her BFA in Communication Arts. She
graduated with honors in June 2013. Now she lives in New Orleans; taking care
of children and working as a freelance illustrator and designer. In addition to
designing our poster for “Redneck Christmas,”
She tells us in her own words the process involved in
designing the poster for A
Good Old Fashioned Redneck Country Christmas.
1 When I started my thumbnail sketches I gathered information
about the play by reading through some of the script and listening to the
music. I wrote down words that stuck out and from there I generated
thumbnail sketches for the poster.
2 Once I'm happy with the
sketches I take my favorite and scan it into the computer and refine it a
little bit. This is also the stage when I play with color. You
can't go wrong with red and green for a Christmas poster!
3 Next I take my final sketch, print it out full
size, and transfer it onto heavy watercolor paper. For this poster I
wanted all the type to be hand lettered with 1960s flair. To achieve this
I used a big type reference book.
4 Once I'm happy with how the poster looks in pencil I add ink and scan it back into the computer! All the colors you see in the final poster are added digitally in Adobe Photoshop and a drawing tablet.
Final design ....
