At least 740 events will be part in next year's Adelaide Fringe festival scheduled for Feb 18 to March 13, 2011, a 65 per cent increase in event registrations since 2006.
The Fringe poster for next year's arts event has been created by Bulgarian designer Kamen Goranov.
Organisers say it depicts two wild characters made up of a collage of photography, stencils, paint and computer-generated images.
"The inspiration for my design was to create an ironic, sarcastic and humorous image combining different elements, using mainly a collage technique," the artist said.
"As Adelaide is situated on the coast I gave both characters some marine attributes - a ship tattoo for the king and octopus arms for the queen.
"My intention was to create some weird, strange icon but with some attributes, like the two crowns, that identify them as king and queen."
It is the first time an overseas artist has created the official Fringe poster.
The artistic Director for the event is Greg Clarke whose vision and direction is being watched with great interest.
More than a million people are expected to attend.
