Key Artwork

Our thoughtful, eye-catching key art highlights your show’s unique vision and interpretation.

A poster at a bus stop advertises a production of Hamlet. The design, crafted by Denver Design Studio, features an arch with a mosaic pattern and text that reads: "HAMLET" and "May 10 - June 3." Below, it highlights the involvement of William Shakespeare and Tom Ridgley.

Our specialty is crafting key art that brings your theatrical production, musical, opera, or concert to life. We believe in suggesting rather than explaining. The best show art is thoughtful, iconic, and memorable, leaving a lasting impression on your audience.

We dive deep into your production, filling notebooks with scribbles, quotes, and notes. We sit down with your team to connect over themes, icons, and the tone of your show. We keep revisiting the scripts and our notes to shape the artwork as we develop a visual language for each client’s season. Our process is iterative, meaning we work closely with your team to perfect every piece of key art.

We can build out all of your marketing assets, like posters, postcards, and social media posts, or package the layered files so your team can create images in-house.

Word on the street

Thanks for all the extra work on the show art.

We love our posters, and especially HENRY V. It will really really help us generate excitement about the show. (Combat) Boots on the ground and butts in the seats. Thank you!
