The Drexel Players Present : Cake

Post by James Haro:


Today we sent our postcard artwork to Fireball Printing. Last year's cards were designed by Danielle Brief who created the beautiful image of a wooden artist mannequin wrapped in colored yarn.



Producer Julie Mercik (who also photographed our image) shared her thoughts about this years postcard...
"The image we chose for our post cards was a true collaboration between Laurel (Hostak), James, John (VanZelst), and myself.  We chose a cake, because it is the most iconic symbol of strike at Drexel.  After our post strike meal is done, there is ALWAYS a cake for everyone to enjoy. However,  we were eager to let people know this wasn't a birthday cake, which is why we chose to put lightbulbs in it.  You'll notice they are similar to the dressing room light bulbs that are in our Fringe Guide image.  Finally, we chose to cut the cake, which left us with two images that embody themes in the piece: both the single piece standing alone by itself, and also the big cake that is missing a piece."

We're so proud of our image and we're excited to put them out into the city. We also want to thank cast-member and graphic designer Camilla Kronenwetter (CAMI!) who designed the beautiful layout.
