Nice to have
  • While the artists may be inspired by some of the ideas in these illustrations, as I have been inspired by one of them, please do not directly copy any idea to the extent that it could result in a claim of copyright infringement. I tracked down the source of the logo that I really like. PHX Stages: SOUTH PACIFIC - Arizona Broadway Theatre - Nov 24 - Dec 30, 2017 <https://phxstages.blogspot.com/2017/07/south-pacific-arizona-broadway-theat re.html> . It was used eight years ago in Phoenix to announce the cast for their production. I believe we can make a transformation of this idea, enough to legitimately avoid a copyright claim. Twin peaks; different lettering; different arrangement of elements; etc. The silhouette of an island, palms, and bombers in poster style are appealing. However, the images should be an island not attached to the viewer’s position. The original production used a backdrop showing two peaks. This is a volcanic atoll in the South Pacific. I like the palm frond border. But not necessary to incorporate. The lettering representing stenciling is appropriate, and I have seen it in other logos for South Pacific. Everything military was stenciled in that era. I very much like the posterizing treatment but would not rule out anything else proposed. I have attached a synopsis of the story and some other background. I have also attached some other iconic images from other South Pacific productions. The poster could have sailors in gob hats singing “Nothing Like a Dame.” Emile and Nellie ia a love duet. Bloody Mary. Luther’s shower and laundry, Emil’s seaside plantation setting. Sailors, nurses, Marines set to deploy into combat. NOTE: This project is for the poster only. From Jenna Sayson of DesignCrowd: Just wanted to resend my previous explanation for your project budget: Our services only deliver one design per project, which means that you have to post or launch a project depending on its design category and quantity. You can launch a contest with only one design requirement. Once you have selected a winner, kindly discuss with them the additional designs you still need. It is upon your discussion and agreement on how much the additional payment would be as well. I plan to do this. Once I select a design and its graphic artist, I will negotiate for a set of scenery backdrops to be projected onto an upstage cyclorama covering the whole back wall. I am attaching a list of the scenes (some scenes will be used more than once). The scenery art should carry out the same style as the winning poster design.
