The War of the Worlds poster

During the Covid-19 shutdown in 2020, the Delta College Drama Department chose to do a radio show of the science fiction classic, The War of the Worlds. We wanted the poster to strike a balance between ominous and bright, inviting listeners into the world of science fiction while also acknowledging our current reality and sentiments amidst the shutdown.

The design draws inspiration from both the original late 1890s publication and the 1938 radio adaptation, and the art deco style of the 1920s and 30s.
