Poster design for The Wild Party

I was asked to create a poster evoking a show taking place at sunset in an indoor/outdoor site specific home built in the 1920's. The poem being written around the same time was another inspiring point in creating the color choices and selecting images. There are elements in the fonts reflecting art deco, and an early Chicago feel. The color choices swish together sunset colors and the feeling of a carefree glass of strawberry champagne. The quote comes from the story; a teasing tagline that has a calligraphy flow.
