Theatre Poster: West Side Story





I believe that West Side Story's poster shows the complicated love story with contrasting colors and tiny images of people scattered in between the lines. I really liked the musical and loved the poster because you have to jump from one side to the other in order, making it hard to stay focused on the title, the real issue in the story. This use of sharp contrast between the title and the images, along with small letters listing the dates and times for the event that blend into the rest of the poster, tell the reader to complicated issues in the play, and the conflicting sides to the same story between the characters.
