Working in collaboration with the advertising agency Love, Illustrator Povilas Gavorka was able to create a striking poster using sketches for the play 'Diary of.' It's based on Russian writer Nikolai Gogol's story 'A Madman,' and is about a character who builds himself in his pursuit of trying to answer profound questions in life.
Gavorka illustrated a half-drawn man in the process of sketching himself. The artwork expresses the perfect literal imagery of what the play is about - a man trying to constantly build up who he is. Theater plays need eye-catching posters in order to draw in audiences, because they lack the type of big budget marketing opportunities that big-name movies and TV shows have.
Povilas Gavorka has done a marvelous job of grabbing an audience's attention through this skillful poster illustration.
