One Act Plays – Brief
By Jim Pinnock
www.jimpinnock.com
The objective is to produce a simple graphic to be used on the front of theatre programmes and posters for each of my One Act plays.
The artwork would be offered for use by the drama group who are staging the productions. The image may be in either colour or black and white. Colour is probably best but I think that we could possibly offer both options.
The graphic can be in any editable format and I would suggest .jpg
It should incorporate both the title of the play and my byline.
The drama company will insert it into their programmes, posters and handbills and fit the rest of their details around it, so a panel needs to be left at the top for them to insert their name and the bottom for the production dates.
Attached is an example of a graphic produced for ‘The Melting Sands.’
Students may choose one or more of the plays that may be viewed at the link below. Here students can read the synopsis and/or the whole play. All of these One Act plays will take less than 30 minutes to read.
This artwork, for amateur drama companies, does not demand a high level of detail; the key to this is to produce images that are striking and at the same time simple, and that reflect the mood, theme and genre of the production.
Students who are producing images for more than one play do not need to apply the same uniform house style but may do so if they wish.
