Re: New Poster
Clever Chris - love it It would really help to know what the play is about. I'm slightly confused by reference to 'Ten' and then 'Two'. Are there 10 people on the committee with 2 opposing viewpoints? Personally I would lose the extrusion on the text. We are facing this head on, so it throws the perspective. I'm not sure that curling the authors name works - your call. Nick |

Re: New Poster
Thanks Nick As far as I can tell (haven't seen script) it's ten people around a committee table. The committe then divides into tory and socialist factions (hence red and blue / posh and cheap pens). I find the title confusing, but I think the copy line gives an indication as to what's coming. As for the type, will see what others think first before considering changes. I like the quirly curl on the author's name, but if it puts people off I will change it. However, when you run the author's name straight across the bottom it looks out of place. Also, as this play is set in the 70s, this is the sort of naff thing they did, so I think it gives a nod to that era. Or maybe not! Will see if anyone else picks up on it. You might be right about the extrusion - I just fely it needed something. Will play around with it. |

Thanks Chris How about saying - 'There are opposing sides in every committee'. My feeling is that this would add strength to the possible conflict signified by the crossed pens, which is a great touch. Nick |

Re: New Poster
Hi Chris, loving the poster - very strong colours! I'm with Nick on the text thing though, it just doesn't look right to my eye. But if you want to keep it, is there a way of doing something to the left hand side to balance it out maybe? It's awkward as it's all 'T's. Hmm. It's just that the right hand side looks kind of smooth and cubed off, but the left side looks.. angle-y.. or something. But that aside I really like it, it's very eye grabbing. It's lovely to see someone else involved with theatre here.  |

Re: New Poster
Hi Nick The two sides line is a play on "there are two sides to every story" so I'll have to disagree on that one - it's staying as it is! Thanks for the suggestion though. Chris |

The play on words did not jump out at me Chris, but you have to go with what you prefer. Perhaps you've been bullied enough for one day!! Nick |
