This is a prototype poster for an upcoming opera by The Bristol Catholic Players. This one was a real pain, at one point i was considering giving up. I'm glad i didn't because I'm extremely please with how it turned out, even though it will not be used, as The Mikado has already been chosen by the BCP committee. I think the reason I had so much trouble with this one is that for ages i was trying to make everything symmetrical and central, but just by off setting the "The" from "Sorcerer" and the main teapot-top hat image, they sort of balance each other out. It was during the final stages of this poster that i discovered the absolute torture of saving images for web and print-outs. I must have used 15+ sheets of photo paper and uploaded it to this blog as many times to get it to match the original. I HATE PRINTERS.
