Second Age - Macbeth

Second Age have a long history of touring quality productions of classical theatre. They approached us to design communications for their latest production, Macbeth. At the heart of the campaign is a bank of striking images by photographer Ros Kavanagh. Red dyed sand was used to represent blood with a startling graphic effect. We applied subtle reversed out typography leaving the image to create as much impact as possible. A mix of contemporary and traditional typography helps emphasise the message of a classic told in a modern way.
