Lyric Theatre “Mrs. President“ opera promotion

Lyric Theatre asked me to design posters, email and social media graphics to promote the opera “Mrs. President”. The opera is based on a true story about the first woman to run for president—in 1872. Ahead of her time, Victoria Woodhull was also a newspaper publisher and proponent of free love. Preacher H.W. Breecher led a vicious campaign against her, demonizing her and ultimately having her jailed on election day for revealing his scandalous secrets. The original banner design below was too controversial for the producer, but in my opinion, much more intriguing and would have garnered more attention to and discussion around the event. Imagery was created via Photoshop and Illustrator collage. I also coded and designed the email in Constant Contact.
