Greek soldiers hid inside a wooden horse to enter Troy, and that Trojan Horse is where this poster for the 56th International Troia Festival begins. In my version the horse holds a stage instead: its belly opens onto red curtains, a drummer and a singer. A ladder leads up from the grass. Around it, illustrated figures dance on a green hill. One waves a TROIA flag, and another floats off on a bunch of balloons. The headline is Bebas Neue with a script face for 'festivali', white on a pale blue sky. The project also shows the figure set, palette and type pairing.
