In October of 2021, a professor of mine shared the link of a poster design competition to her students. I researched the opera, watched it on YouTube, and looked into the cast that would be performing in Knoxville.
After winning the competition, I was invited by WATE, a Knoxville news channel, for an interview where I discussed my design!
I drew inspiration for my design from the vocalist portraying the devil, Mefistofele, due to his striking features. Because the design would just be used for Knoxville’s show, I wanted to create a poster that was specific to its venue.
