She didn't like it!

Nathan emailed the director with the sample of the poster for Little Women. It turns out that it was not what the director was looking for. She wanted the poster to reflect the family feel of the musical as well as emphasize the Christmas holiday. She ultimately wanted to have the girls around a Christmas tree or something similar. She did however like the colors of the sample.

This was just my luck though. Finally, I had made something that would go into production, get printed, and ultimately placed around town and then it gets rejected. Nathan did tell me that this is when you have to separate yourself as an artist and just know that it's a job that you're performing for someone else with different tastes and preferences. He had a great point, and it motivated me to start working on a new poster.

After a while of looking at images of the Victorian era, Victorian Christmas, and Victorian fashion, I came across a REALLY interesting picture:







It was a picture of a Victorian Christmas. I - being the creative genius that I am - thought that if I manipulated this picture enough, I could get the director what she wanted.

Hopefully the director will like it. If she does then the finished product should have the typography and details.
