Billboard and playbill design for Vernon God Little performance

Using wit and design to promote a satirical, black-comedy performance.

Project background

Performed by Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University students, Vernon God Little was a stage adaptation by Tanya Ronder of the original black comedy by Australian author DBC Pierre.

Reviewing how others had promoted this performance, Liveworm students noted that many designers had taken cues from the original book cover design. The students took on this challenge, steering away from the expected approach and focusing on visuals that better convey the story’s satire and comedy.

Design outcome

The outcome by Luana Siqueira aims to capture the story from Vernon’s perspective, with cheeky fourth-wall breaking notes about the story incorporated within the design. As a sneak-peak into the context and setting of the story, the background features hidden stars and the United States of America flag.

Liveworm produced a range of promotional collateral, including programmes, billboards, posters, print advertising, and social media graphics.
