Jungle Fever
Held at the beginning of August during term 3, Jungle Fever was running through the school. Most of the secondary students were gearing up and rehearsing their lines ready for the performances on the 7th and 8th of August.
This year they decided to make it a little different, by turning it into a theatre/restaurant. All up, around 250 people attended the evening sessions. The highlight of the performances would have been the boys dance to ‘Salmon’ by the ‘Chemical Brothers’, especially Brad Robinson’s ‘robot’ dancing!
Emily, Lauren and I were assigned the job of designing the posters, tickets and shirts.
We used Adobe Photoshop to create all of these.
Below is my final design for the Thursday dinner ticket;
With the Thursday ticket, I made it look like a sunrise, because Thursday was the first day of real performances. Using the soft colours in the sky gave it a sunrise effect.
Below is the final design for the Friday dinner ticket; 
The Friday ticket was slightly different, I used darker, bolder colours to give a sunset effect. I wanted the sunset effect, because Friday was the last night, and the last performance of the “Jungle Fever” production, 2008.
Left; is the expermenting I did to create the sunset effect. I used graphics textas quickly to get a rough idea for the sunset. I used canary yellow, poppy red, pink, crimson red, violet, violet blue and black.
I started with the lightest colour and worked my way up, making each layer less to make the gradient. I then used the black texta to make the horizon and the tree.
This is the final design for the poster;
The production was to do with Africa (sort of) so I chose to make my design like the African desert with the sunset and silhouette of elephants and a tree in the foreground. Using the sunset gradient in the radial style I could make it look like there was a sun. I put the ‘sun’ behind the elephants to make them stand out. I downloaded a jungle-like font for the title of the production. I then came up with the idea of Witch Doctors, because they have something to do with Africa, and its ‘Voodoo’. So I put a Witch Doctor in the foreground, and put all the information down the side of the Witch Doctor.
