The Bard


The Julius Caesar poster really does fit Dionysus because his way of everything being hysterical with wide grin yet knowing that the audience is seeing something tragic. He doesn't really care as long as he gets a kick out of it. The way designs his title also is very childlike. I captured the essence of the play with the multiple shades of red symbolizing the blood of Caesar. The skull masks on the men behind him give the appearance of a grim death approaching. Even the clothes portray significant symbolism of his coming death, the toga representing the Caesar's Laurel Crown as a royal assassination and the tunic representing a bloody death. Still I have no idea why the RSC logo turned orange instead of red.
