Acme was commissioned to design the creative campaign for Shakespeare in the Ruff’s 2018 production of Portia’s Julius Caesar—A radical adaption of Shakespeare’s beloved classic. Star Christine Horne was photographed as Portia and the images were printed, torn, collaged, and reshot to dramatic effect. The campaign included print posters, postcards, and triptych subway posters, as well as graphic assets for social media.
