A round of applause ; )

The director loved the new image. It was what she was waiting for and it definitely made me smile when it got approved. The only problems after that were making sure that the typography was readable and that it remained true to the whole "Christmas" theme.

The director also wanted some extra information on the poster. The basics - such as the director, times, and dates - were fine, but she also wanted something to tell the audience that it was a musical based on the Luisa M. Alcott classic. So much information would crowd a poster and really not make it what it should be, so Nathan thought up a great way to display the extra information without making it seem so populated. He incorporated a "gift-wrap" image on the top right corner to display the new text. Not only would this provide the poster with more of the "Christmas" feel, but it would also make that information stand out in a visually appealing manner.

Here is the FINISHED product:
