Poster for Sheffield Lyceum Theatre's Children's Production of 'My Dad's a Birdman'

I was recently commissioned to produce a poster for the Sheffield Lyceum Theatre's Children's Production of 'My Dad's a Birdman', which will be performed in schools.

The story is about a girl and her dad, who wants to be a bird and to enter the Great Human Bird Competition.

The client wanted the illustration to have lots of energy and happiness, and be colourful and attractive to children. The client also had the idea that the father's bird costume should be based on a Mallard, and the little girl's costume should be based on a Swift or Swallow. However, since the costumes are supposed to be home-made, the client wanted me to make sure they didn't look 'bought' or professional.

This illustration will be used on A3 posters, and text will be added.
