These are poster variations for Oscar Wilde's theatrical play "the importance of being Earnest" in Greek.
Due to the lack of a translation that delivers the duality of the meaning "Earnest" the title translates something like "The impartance of being serious".
We used props like the moustache and monocle that delivered this concept of a typically serious male of that era (1895-1900) and imported them to the typography of the main title.

As for the background we tried to mimic a victorian themed tapestry, in order to capture a another feature of the play's atmosphere.
