I had the pleasure of creating the podcast poster for The Apartment on Yucca, a new comedy stage play by contemporary author Stephen Jared, presented both as a podcast performance and a book.
The project began with an illustrated podcast poster set in a rundown Hollywood apartment, featuring a stylish view of the Capitol Records building and the Broadway Hollywood sign on Yucca Street. The title design, inspired by the witty title cards of 1930s-40s Hollywood comedies, adds a playful yet nostalgic touch that perfectly suits the story’s humor and setting. Later, I adapted this concept into a book cover, preserving the classic Hollywood charm.
The Apartment on Yucca was a semi-finalist at B Street Theater’s New Comedies Festival in Sacramento and is now available on the Premiere the Play podcast.
Special thanks to Stephen Jared for this creative journey.
