If I were to make a poster or a series of posters it would
have a jungle on a black background. I chose this to signify a mysterious journey.
I chose black behind the trees because it’s blankness best describes the things
that the women have yet to discover. The leaves and trees would be different
shades of black and brown, and there will be strands of silver words winding
through the trees. I wanted to incorporate language, because it is constantly
used in the plot. The silver would give a nice contrast, making the words stand
out as much in the poster as they do in the story. Finally, I want various
objects littering the ground at the base of the trees. The play mentions many
objects from many different decades, and putting some of these in the poster
could show the importance of passing time in the plot. For my tag line, I want
to put Grover’s line, “Don’t speculate on the future.” The future is an
important motif in the story, and this line shows that adventurous people don’t
think about the future, they go out and discover it. I find that very fitting
with the story.
I find it interesting how so many different pictures can portray the same idea, and enjoy hearing what other people imagine when reading something I’ve already created a detailed mental image of. Jenny used a black background to signify the constant ambiguity, which I felt was fitting. I also appreciate how she recognized the importance of the language in this play, and represented it well with the silver lining amongst the dull picture. Although we had two completely different ideas, I still see how hers depicts the story accurately.
