I chose this poem when I read the vibrancy of its words and felt that it perfectly describes the feelings of watching a live performance. The Palace Theatre’s iconic history and charm truly does “flicker to life” when audiences gather to celebrate concerts, film, comedy, etc. When designing this poster, I wanted to combine shapes that referenced the Art Deco style of its history, with the explosion of forms that represent its timelessness and modernity. I wanted it to feel as though these forms are bursting from within the architecture. It was an honor to create this piece about such a locally celebrated and visited place since the 1920’s
