You really have to rely on your creativity here. I cannot teach you
how to do this. If needed, get the opinion of a friend, preferably
someone artistic. Just remember to leave some white space for the
information.
Create a new text layer. It's time for the title text. This can go
anywhere on the front cover, so long as it stands out, as unlike the
titles of the previous pages, it doesn't have to always be at the top.
Make sure the text is big, bold, and eye-catching. It's the title of the
play! It has to be the most eye-catching words on the playbill.
Create another new text layer. Add the other basic information. This
should be a plainer, simpler font, which will be smaller than the title.
Information such as "Directed by ~", "Written by ~", and "Performed
by ~" will go here.
You might have to put the performance information on here as well.
Such things like the performance dates, times, and where it is at.
You can probably discuss this with someone in charge if you feel
it'd be best if this wasn't on it. Seeing as it is a playbill, it shouldn't
be necessary.
Save this page with the extension of your program (For example,
GIMP is: .xcf).
Save this page again with the extension you wish to use (.jpg, .gif,
.png, etc.).
You're done the Front Cover!
Good job! You are done your playbill. Email the designs to
whoever needs them (Whoever's checking them, printing them,
etc.).
8. If you are printing them yourself, be sure the order is as follows:
Outside - Autographs page on the left, Front Cover on the right when
looking directly at it. Inside - Thank You's on the left, Cast page on the
right when looking directly at it. It looks best if you print it in Full Bleed.
Take note that normal printer paper usually print the playbill, properly as it
will show through the other side. Fold it in half to complete the playbill.
9. Good work and
DRAFT
here's hoping it's an amazing performance!
