Nice Work if You Can Get It.
Designed in conjunction with Columbus North Drama for their Spring 2022 production of NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT.
A new take on the 1920s musical farce, Nice Work If You Can Get It features the iconic music of George and Ira Gershwin. Billie Bendix, a tough-as-nails bootlegger, and wealthy playboy Jimmy Winter, meet on the weekend of his impending wedding…a definite crowd-pleaser that will have audiences singing along in the aisles.
My Solution
Bright, fun, and loud were key aspects of this production’s design. To emulate the 1920s spirit, I used a combination of 1920s-inspired fonts and stage lights throughout our assets. The details of bottles allude to key themes of the musical. For the posters, I chose a real-life of the main characters to show their larger-than-life personality.
