Process:

To play off of the themes explored in the piece, I decided to parody police mug shots. Instead of height markers, the performers stood in front of musical staves. The placards they held in their hands displayed information about the concert. I took the photos of the performers and designed the posters. Materials were printed and posted around music buildings on Northwestern's campus.
