I’ve been doing pro bono work for my hometown’s theatre troupe for a few years. For their most recent production, “Einen Jux will er sich machen”, I created a suite of promotional print materials (posters, flyers, banner, play bills) as well as graphics for online advertising (social media, digital ads).
As a teenager, I was an active participant in the troupe’s stage productions. While I had to step back from this when I moved away from home, I still enjoy supporting them with my design skills. It's always fun to dive into a play’s story and motives to craft designs that both reflect the play and address the target audience.
A challenge I’ve been facing recently is effective communication – being so far away from my hometown, I often miss what’s going on inside the production team. I sometimes struggle to find the right stakeholders through changing requirements, but we’re actively working on clearer responsibilities and communication together.
