Programme Planning and Admin

- Today I Started to mock up 4 front covers for the programme, I sent these to Mr Hawkins.
He decided the outer glow on the first one he didn't like and preferred the second one with the logo on the black background, however he did agree the logo needed to blend a bit more. He also liked the idea of the purple overlay over the picture for the main body of the programme where I will put my sourced font for the main body of the text.


-Today Mr Hawkins and I also went through our paper 'mock' programme to agree how we will lay it out, I also sent him the list:

• Principals list
• A word from producer and director  
• Band list
• Synopsis
• Song list
• Acknowledgements

 

of what I need to create the body of the programme. From this Mr Hawkins sent me some of the information such as the principals list. In the mock programme we determined the order of the layout: front cover, synopsis, song list, principals page, cast page, band, director and producer comment, acknowledgment, legal requirements and a collage page on the back. In some way Mr Hawkins wants to incorporate the gangs into the cast page, however I do not want to have 'floating' Photoshopped gangs, I would like to keep the artistic integrity of the programme by carefully placing them. The cast page can feature a natural rehearsal shot including all the gang members. It was also decided I will start to take pictures in rehearsals and skating sessions so we can refine and find the perfect 'natural' rehearsal shots that will really  enhance the programme. I am seeking inspiration from the photographs taken during Miss Saigon.
