THE SELECT (THE SUN ALSO RISES) (2011) This was the first in a series of posters I designed for New York Theatre Workshop’s 2011-12 season It’s an adaptation of Ernest Hemingway’s sprawling novel. The biggest challenge was finding a graphic device to make the rather confusing title: The Select (The Sun Also Rises) a bit easier for the ticket-buying consumer. I presented this poster art with the parenthesis removed and the words The Select separated from the rest of the title. Although it may still puzzle some people, the reference to the Hemingway book is quite clear. The entire show is set in a bar littered with hundreds of wine bottles, which are used throughout the play’s action. Since excessive drinking and the running-of-the-bulls are among the show’s highlights, I designed a corkscrew and wine cork to provide an arresting image.
