"My client, Slingsby Theatre Company, required me to design a marketing package and style guide for their upcoming production Runt” based on the novel The Boy Who Talked to Dogs by Irish author and Australia’s acclaimed ‘dog man’ Martin McKenna. My initial research consisted of reading McKenna’s memoir, as Slingsby was still developing their stage adaptation and were therefore unable to provide me with a script. Nonetheless, McKenna’s writing is filled with vivid imagery, similes and metaphors which allowed me to develop an artistic vision for my marketing package."
