Southwest Shakespeare Company Gala Graphic Design

For the Southwest Shakespeare Company’s 2026 gala fundraiser and show, I created a Midwinter’s Dream logo and graphic identity with a moody, luxurious feel and versatile set of complementary star elements. Deliverables included web and print versions of the logo, a print mailer, a print program to be handed out at the gala, and event signage. Interestingly, I found very few gala designs online when searching for comparable projects – this is a usual part of my discovery after receiving a creative brief, to ensure that I’m not accidentally copying someone’s work that I’ve seen, and also to expand the possibilities of the design. I used the font MADE Cannes: MadeType is a great free-for-personal-use typographer available at DaFont.
