Reading Lolita in Tehran opera flyer

Grassroots promo flyer
8.5" x 11"

  • Goals: create flyer on low budget with quick turnaround for grassroots distribution, while reflecting narrative of a group of Iranian women studying Western literature while their rights are being curbed by their country's totalitarian and patriarchal authorities

  • Design reflects this conflict through organic traditional Persian motifs coupled with a calligraphic font, overlaid with the common visual language of totalitarian propaganda—sharp, bold shapes, colors, and fonts suppressing the former’s legibility

  • Built at standard print size in both color and black and white, using imagery and fonts free for commercial use

  • For Elisabeth Mehl Greene
