[georgesaad]

hey guys i was just seeing if we can start a group where we can disuss our poster and promotion projects for the next, give each other some help and maybe get to no each other and build a littler community lol. so first topic whta texts are you choosing??

 

[L i L O]

I've read most of the texts..

I think it'll be between Private Lives, Myth, Propaganda.. and As You Like It..

I just can't wait to get started, but I don't want to keep my logbook or work my rationale or any of that shit lol.

I just wanna make some posters

 

[georgesaad]

lol so truee the poster is best part. well im tossin gup between visions and ham funeral...still havnt chosen yet!!

 

[Cassias]

yay!

yeah im doing poster and promotion too, i reckon it'll be heaps good

i reckon im doing summer rain though i reckon itll be easiest to design for. if i get stuck though im gonna do private lives. i read all the others except for as you like it cause im not a big fan of shakespeare.
gosh i had to go to the state library to find over half the plays though... talk about effort!!

Haha ok well I'm doing Myth Propaganda .. I decided a little while ago..

Here is what I'm up to;

(Yes it is small for a reason.)

I'm not happy with the title .. I need to establish somewhere effective to put it and also the layout needs work.

I also need a higher res STC logo .. does anyone have any suggestions?


Any comments or questions are more than welcome

Micka.

Image is nice but i don't reckon you can put the name of the playwright at the bottom like he is just a logo or a sponsor. Selwel should be more up there with the title. Lots of kids at my school did the towers and our teacher said get away from the obvious but I like your broken glass.

Hey. I'm doing Promo/Poster too.
My text is Summer Rain. I'm really struggling with my design, I'm waiting on a Photoshop disk at the moment.. is that what all you guys are using?

hey
i am do Myth Propaganda ..... and i am so stuck .... my poster looks super crap to you guys lol

and i have a question what are we meant to do about the sponsors are we suppose to make them up or what ... i am sooo confused

 

[Annalisee]

I'm doing Myth, Prop... it's so hard to get away from the overdone flag, towers, gun thing. I want to avoid red white and blue for obvious reasons. I love the play though.

hey im doin everyman and it's coming along pretty slow but hopefully il get there...with the sponsers you make sponsers up if you want but if you are doin a real theatre like STC then it is probably best to see what sponsers they use.

I'm doing As You Like It, because I love Shakespeare and the themes and symbols are really easy to understand and use.
I've done about four different posters so far, unsure of which one I'm going to use..


Do any of you know whether or not we have to write all the info in our program or if we can lift the entire thing from a program we already have? If that makes sense..
Like, when crediting cast and creative team in the program, can we use their actual theatre credits and experience from descriptions given in a real program? I don't see the point in making it up.. or writing a Directorial vision when you can just use the actual directorial vision given in a real program..

*SIGH*

your alowed to use an imgae but you need to obviuosly refrence it correctly and give full credit for the image used you just cant use an image entirely for your poster and for the sponsor thingy you use the sponsors of the theatre company and for your program you can use the theatre credits of the director and actors and crea but you need to write your own directorial concept and like the vision for the play so it matches with your poster and its style hope this helped everyone

im doing private lives because thats the only one my drama teacher had.

iv taken some photos for the poster design but my cameras shitty so the quality isnt very good.
