Playbill
In this project I worked with Karima and we decided to make the cover the way it looks because we wanted to symbolize important parts of the play. We were inspired at the fact that the best playbills always have one of the important parts of the play as a cover page.We put a bloody sword through a crown and that symbolizes one of the most important parts of the play which is when Macbeth killed King Duncan and took over the kingdom. We also chose to put a crown because the crown symbolized Macbeth's goal in doing all the crimes he did. Our rough draft had too much design (even though it was great) but we thought about it and came to understand that too much design, although it symbolizes a lot of stuff, it should be basic enough to tell a big part without giving too much infor of the play. The purpose of this project was to chose what project you wanted to do and we chose to do a playbill because me and Karima decided that a playbill would suit us perfectly. We chose to have play be performed at the Globe Theater because it's Shakespeare's theater and since Macbeth was written by Shakespeare's then we might as well have it be performed in his theater.

Characters Costumes
In the play Macbeth we will have characters wear amazing costumes that will make them look like the character they are meant to be. Macbeth at the start as a warrior will have a cape and grey armour with some leather boats. He will have his sword on the side. When he becomes the king Macbeth will wear a crown and long heavy clothing with the color of black because the black represents the bad king he is because of the way he achieved his position. Lady Macbeth will wear a dark color grown, since growns we're common use for the queens. The color of the grown would be black as well because she was the reason Macbeth did what he did. Since Banquo is a soldier he will wear grey armour and some leather boots, black pants, and will have his sword at the side of him. King Duncan will wear a crown, armour, and a cape of the color bright red. His cape will be bright red because the bright red will represent King Duncan's death. MacDuff will wear gey armour, black pants, leather boots, and will have his sword on the side. Macduff will wear this because since he's one of the thanes, he is like Macbeth right man and is a soldier. The three witches will wear black robes and will be bare foot because since they are witches they have to be spooky and scary looking. Malcolm and Donalbain will wear green robes and will have a sword on the side of them. The reason I say that they will wear green robes is because since they are princes they have to look fancy but not too fancy to which they look scary, they have to look nice.
