Program and Poster Evaluation

Overall I believe that the poster and program were of a much better quality design and production wise, which makes me happy as it shows that I have grown my creative mind and continued to improve my skills.

I believe I spent too much time working on the poster rather than the program, which bothers me a little as I would have preferred to have given them an equal amount of design time.

I really should have come up with more professional looking designs in the draft stages of the poster so I could have had a better choice of quality designs to choose from. This is not to say that I didn't like the final design, which I did like, but I really would have like to have been able to represent all the ideas in some sort of way. I felt that the poster could have had more colour really.

While the program looked on a whole other level to the 'Puss in Boots', there were still mistakes and things I would have liked to be better.

First of all there were two mistakes in the program. On of the cast members was missing from a song. The other mistake was that act two was done in caps lock, "ACT Two", rather than in proper text, "Act Two". Both mistakes could have been avoided if they had been proof read one more time before printing.

If I was going to improve the program it would be the graffiti art by far. The background graffiti was tasteless and amateurish, that it was obvious that it was a rushed job. If I was to re-do the graffiti I would have looked for a more suitable font and used drawings rather than clip art to represent the words and to make it look like a professional street artwork.

Another thing I would  have actually changed, would have been to do a different back cover for the program and maybe even the front cover as well. The reason why is because it was a little lazy and rushed on my part, even though it turned out to be a good idea.

In hindsight I would have worked on the program at least one week earlier to have allowed more time for the design process and also allowed the cast and director to have a proper proof read through before approving the program.
