Summary

Translate an established tour poster into a vibrant, high-energy digital campaign featuring individual performer spotlights and animated assets to drive ticket sales across multiple cities.

The approach

Systematic Visual Layouts

Created a bold primary color palette into a dynamic system of frames, varying the background color pairings so each performer card felt fresh while remaining part of a unified series.

Photo Compositing & Retouching

Cut out and refined performer photography in Photoshop, cleanly isolating silhouettes to sit naturally against saturated, high-contrast backgrounds

Bold Dimensional Typography

Styled striking, retro-circus type treatments with dimensional drop shadows to make performer names instantly legible and punchy on mobile feeds

Motion Graphics & Content Delivery

Animated elements of the main tour poster for social video promo, delivering formatted asset packages ready for cast members and tour stops to share online.

The outcome

Delivered a cohesive digital campaign that supported a successful multi-city run with strong ticket sales in every market. The energetic visual rollout boosted engagement across social platforms and led to a re-engagment with the client to create campaign graphics for their next touring season.
