Station Theatre Advertisements



At the Station Theatre in Urbana, there are always posters on the walls advertising past or future plays. I chose a couple I liked for this blog. The first is a very simplified but structured and symmetrical design that is very attractive to the eye. The second is what I believe to be a photograph of a small town close by. I've never been a fan of the town but this shot makes me appreciate it more because there are some beautiful things in this photo-the trees, the lines. I also felt the typography, even though embedded in what would normally be considered a busy background, is readable, which is an accomplishment for a black and white intricate photo. The Station Theatre's posters always attempt to depict the personality of the play they advertise, so I like to look at them and guess what the play is about.
