Everyone is aware of this graphic that became known in the presidential election. In the production of Urinetown, we want to imitate this style on our own hero of the show, Bobby Strong. The following are steps taken to achieve the final look.
Actor Jordan Hoffman posing in a heroic posture.
In Photoshop or Illustrator, make the image grayscale with 4 colors of grey.
In Photoshop or Illustrator, replace the four grays with colors. In this case a vibrant red, a dull blue, a black and white. The colors are chosen to imitate the original posture but also designed to be part of the visual language of the set.
The outlines of the image is simplified in the actual painting so that lines are definite and clear.
