ABEXTREMITIES

Andrea Beltran Extremities Questions 1) If I had to take credit for one of the posters presented, I would definitely take credit for poster 3. The creation of a poster for a show must be very simple and eye-catching which is what this poster does (especially the “eye”-catching part). It’s a poster that anyone walking down the street would glance at get a lot of meaning out of. In this one glance a person would absorb the red color that alerts them to the danger of the play and the scared eye of a female which gets them into the mindset of the main character. The poster gives away just enough for the audience to be intrigued and desire to either learn more about the show or simply to go see it. It also provides all the little details like time, place, prices, and so on. It also has the vital warning about mature content. 2) Concerning Extremities it is important for any viewers to understand that there is a deeper meaning in the play meant to raise awareness towards rape and the fear surrounding it. A very effective manner in providing this information would be through creating a website with some background information on the play provided by the playwright. Other means of advertisement could also be utilized including radio and other posters that provide more detailed information about the play.
