Hansel and Gretel—The Opera Poster

This project was completed by my designer, design intern and I early last year. We decided to do an actual gingerbread house inside a diorama (oddly, I never got to make one in grade school) and photograph it for the final poster image. Below will be images from the entire process, sketches to 3-D placeholders to the final poster. 

Project notes: We made the gingerbread people at work in our 50's oven/kitchen setup and it smelled great. The house was from a kit, but we went to candy stores around town to get the fixin's. The trees and other shrubbery are a sort of ground up paper mache´ applied to foam core. 

I can't recommend it enough—fitting the making of a diorama into your day.
