Poster and Program Artwork - Week 4

The poster that was originally designed was the one chosen for the final poster. Here is the poster:

I was asked to create an online version on this poster. This required me to remove the Godspell title. This was an easy fix and was completed within 30 mins max, and ready for online promotional purposes.

Now knowing that the poster was completed I started on the program. As I had done the 'Puss in Boots' program and that this program was to be printed in the same way, I used the same program as the template. This made the process a whole lot easier as the cast was the same and I already had the appropriate head shots.

I started to write the content initially on a white background as I hadn't figured out what I was going to do with the inside pages in terms of the background.

The content was mostly quite straight forward as the cast and crew were quite similar to the 'Puss in Boots' production, so I just needed to re-arrange the head shots an quotes of Jesus and Judas and remove the character names from the 'Puss in Boots' show.

I also had to do the show song list as it was entirely different to the previous show in terms of how the show was structured. In the end, I listed the songs in running order and included the cast members who sang each song. I was then able to separate the list into act one and act two.

 For the social media section I was inspired by the study guide and how they sounded similar to the actions to stay up to date with social media pages.  I knew I had to incorporate the social media logos, so the audience knew where they could keep up to date with MTD and Westminster Kingsway. This proved to be a bit of a challenge because I wanted the logos to align vertically and with the text correctly. I also had to include the page names on the other side of the logo, which is where most of the problems arose. Eventually, after I had played around with the settings of the text wraps, I got it to work exactly how I wanted it to.

After trying to decide what to put for the front and back cover, I ended up choosing the main poster for the front cover and the online poster for the back cover. I also decided for the inside pages to use a brick wall with some graffiti, which I had mocked up on one page before I sent that version of the program for approval.

Next weeks task is to finish on the front and back covers by removing the show details and adding the details needed for the program and also moving forward with the inside cover. I will also have to make any amends to the content before sending it for approval for printing.
