TypePosterCreatorVictoria University of Wellington Students' AssociationDate1987CollectionNew Zealand Students' Arts Council PostersDescriptionPoster advertising Victoria University's 1987 Orientation festival. The composition is reminiscent of a movie poster. The title reads "Bank of New Zealand presents: THE FINAL FRONTIER." The main image is a sketched alien-like caricature of Edvard Munch's "The Scream," in front of a swirling red, yellow, and black background. The alien holds a man in a red shirt who has fainted in its arms. In the background, a similarly dressed woman shoots a gun and shouts "He's dead Jim!" Four yellow tabs on the right-hand side of the poster read "ORIENTATION 87," "SEE: Mardi Gras / Poetry / Theatre" "SEE: Movies / Forums / Rock n Roll" "SEE all this and more FREE with a student orientation card!" Features a "credits" section with a Rheineck rock beer sponsorship logo. Text reads "Starring Rheineck Rock WITH Billy Brag / Peking Man / Sneaky Feelings / The Bats / The Verlaines / Aotearoa Herbs / Texas Rangers / Toys from the Attic." Notes that it is "directed by" the Victoria University Students Association. SubjectCollege student orientation -- New ZealandPosterWellington (N.Z.)RightsIn copyright
