Photoshop Skills and Dramaturgy Post #4

I have recently begun to refine and learn new skills in Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop skills are something that I find will be very helpful with my career in theatre. Having creative technical skills are important with

•  website design
• audition/reel video editing
• editing head shots
•  and so much more

Currently I am assistant directing and dramaturging a production of Richard II. I have used the skills I am using in photoshop to create documents and display items to display for both rehearsal purposes and audiences. I just created a poster display that is a family tree of the play which includes both headshots, armorials and other imagery. Creating an aesthetically pleasing and informative display piece was even more effective with the tools of photoshop. I am planning to make even more display pictures to help promote the show and describe the play. Specifically, we are bringing this classic Shakespeare play and giving it a modern twist with themes of haute couture and colors and reflections. Being able to edit and update classic portraits and imagery will help create awesome items that audiences will both enjoy looking at and gain information about the production from.
