Going, Going, Gone. performance posterI’ve been working a lot on posters for live performances lately. This one came from a local writing duo with the idea for a play based on a live auction.

So the owner of an auction house has passed away, leaving his two children to clean out the remaining junk. In order to offset some of the funeral costs they decide to hold one last auction, and you, the audience, have come just in time to bid on some “wonderful” items. Each audience member receives some fake money to bid when they enter, but they may leave with some real merchandise! Of course, the items are mostly junk found at the local Goodwill outlet warehouse, but it’s fun.

The result of the request for a poster is shown below. Also included in the final package were the event program and promo flyers based on this design.
