I've been doing all of my high school's (and the Upstage Review's) theatre poster designs for the past year, and this fall we're doing the musical Kiss Me, Kate. So... since my scanner is broken, I can't scan drawings into my computer. I need them in my computer to get them print-ready. So I have been borrowing usage of other people's scanners, but now that I've discovered this awesome site... I don't think I'll have to anymore. :)


EDIT: I'm also throwing this one out. My computer's a nut job, and I couldn't open Photoshop. I already have it done (sort of) on paper, so there's no need for this.

Too tired to work on this, but I will finish by the end of the week. At the latest! That's my deadline!

Ok... I know I've been doing this in tiny, tiny chunks... but I have to go to rehearsal for this now. I'm finally taking it out of hiding to get a few opinions.
Goals:
-Make it print-friendly, to be on t-shirts, posters, and programs
-Make it look cool... maybe try a neat effect, given it satisfies the first goal
-Finish it tonight to give to the director's son by tomorrow, so it can be in the paper on Monday
Ahh!

Well maybe a twelve-year-old wouldn't... but maybe a graphic artist would, twerp.

Cannibal has two N's.

If you want to make it print friendly, you'll need to make it much larger. For a T-shirt, it would have to be several times larger, probably four times as big in both dimensions. Unfortunately, that means you will have to stop working on 2draw and transfer this image to another program in order to resize it. If you just printed out a bigger version of what you have right now, it would look very distorted and blocky. I'd say your best bet without a scanner or a copy of Photoshop is to simply re-draw it on paper, ink it in pen, and take that to whatever printing shop you would have do the programs, shirts, etc., and have them scan it in for you.

Thank you for your advice, Zack. I think I do have Photoshop somewhere on my computer... I haven't dug around in that program for ages though, lol, so we'll have to see how it turns out after that point... but at least I have a starting point by working here. I'll probably keep the design for a few more days, and work with it in photoshop after I finish this... rough draft. Once I get everything blocked out and shaped generally how I want, then I'll take it to another program. But thank you for giving me the time of day! :)
