Project Overview
Designed promotional materials for CCD Performing Arts and UCD College of Arts and Media’s production of Heathers: The Musical. The goal was to create a bold visual identity that captured the show’s dark humor and rebellious high school themes while still functioning clearly as large-scale campus advertising. The project required working within established school branding standards, required institutional content, and licensed theatrical rights guidelines while still creating a visually distinct campaign.

Creative Approach
The concept uses a red scrunchie as the main symbolic element, representing the Heathers’ social power, placed against a distressed locker background to reinforce the school setting. Torn paper typography, layered textures, and carved graffiti details were used to give the piece a more rebellious, worn-in feel while keeping the information structured and readable.
