Brainstorming postcards

Focusing heavily on pre-production elements, it's come time that we start planning our postcard.  We've thrown around a few ideas for what we want to include, but the most likely option will be a vertical 4x6-inch rectangle with text emulating an iMessage chat.

This is a clever way of getting all our information across, while also staying true to the subject matter of the film: social media.  In class, I quickly sketched an outline of our composition, with the film name at the top, social media and film festival info at the bottom, and important names and viewing dates somewhere in the middle.

However, I fear that this is too limited, and the simplicity of it all will make the postcard appear unfinished.  On the other hand, we're cramming a lot of information in the front, which could make it look too crowded.

We still need to finish working out the kinks, and split the information more evenly between the front and back.  We also had another idea of making an illustration of Diego with a monkey being reflected on his glasses, but we would need to wait until we began filming, as we would need to get a reference image from our footage.

After nine long weeks of Circus Monkey taking over my life, I'm beyond relieved to announce that all components of the project are final...
