Hello, I’m Abigail McDade. Art and design have been a favorite thing 
of mine to do, especially when able to help others ideas come to life 
as well. Born hard of hearing, I didn’t let it stop me to communicate 
with others to create great friendships as well as using good 
creativity. My career goals are to be a freelance character designer, 
even though it may be a hard goal. but I’m up to the challenge.

Graphic Design 5

OBJECTIVE

To design a poster for a real client based of the musical they were directing. The 
Client was asking for a poster that was engaging, fit the theme of the musical, and not 
spoil too much but keep people on their toes.

DESCRIPTION

To design a poster advertising for the musical ‘Spring Awakening’. As well to have 
applications for social media such as Instagram. 


The poster is for the audience of teenagers, based on the musicals story about, love, 
rebellion, and consequences. while the play has dark themes, it is fun as well, and for 
the poster design. I used colours such as hot neon, and other bright colours with the 
balance of darker colours for the background.
