Set Design
Overview: RMU's production of American Idiot needed a large-scale backdrop, developed in collaboration with set designer Todd Nonn.
My Contributions: Created a 24'x24' backdrop based on Todd Nonn's vision and reference photos, then worked with Printscape Imaging and Graphics to correctly separate the design into strips for hanging. Todd Nonn later distressed the backdrop and applied lighting effects to achieve a grunge look.

Advertising Design
Overview: RMU's production of American Idiot needed print and digital advertisements.
My Contributions: Designed an 11"x17" print poster displayed on RMU's campus and throughout the greater Moon Township area, along with a digital advertisement used for televisions and social media banners. Licensing for use of the logo was obtained per the permissions included with the script purchase.
Program Design
Overview: RMU's production of American Idiot needed a printed program to hand out before the performance.
My Contributions: Laid out the program in InDesign using information provided by Jeremy Czarniak and Dr. John Locke, including show length, cast biographies, and the song list, and incorporated cast headshots from RMU theatre photographer Beth Barbis. Designed the layout for every page, set the typography, designed the cover, and prepared the file for print, with 1,200 copies distributed to viewers.
