Our Exhibition Poster
« on: July 19, 2010, 23:32:32 »
Thought you might like to see the poster I designed for our Playmo Exhibition (the Village Hall Committee decided on the name in the end!)
I am quite proud of it.  I wanted the klickies to stand out without any other background and I found that taking a photo with a white background came out as a different colour when I tried to put it on the poster so Junior showed me how to enlarge the photos in 'Paint' and go round the edges and surrounding area in white, trying to get it to a 'pixel perfect standard' (his description of what I did!  8})
It took me ages!!  In the end though I felt the result was worth the time it had taken.
Busy still sorting out everything for the display - and panicking that I'll run out of time.  Unfortunately it's Produce Fair week this week so I'm baking as well! 
I'll post photos when we have the displays set up.

Here's the poster ...

Hi

Those Klickies sure do stand out  :)9 Great looking poster and lots of luck for your exhibit . oh how I wish there were things like this in our area. Maybe some German Museum in San Francisco would host it  :'(

Please do show lots of pictures of your display and any others at the show.

Thanks for your good wishes Ras.  Actually we (Junior and I) are doing it all! 
It was suggested as a way of raising money for the village hall and I jumped at the chance to set all our Playmobil up. 
I haven't as much as a lot of collectors here, but do have things from a number of themes.  We are planning to do a Modern Street with shops, church etc and including a park, A Victorian scene, Fairy Tales, Airport, Medieval, Circus, Jungle,Space, Western and Pirates plus a couple of small scenes (providing I get them all sorted out in time!). 
We intend to spend the week before setting up - it's amazing how many members of the hall committee and friends have offered to help - I think it's just an excuse to come and play!! ;D ;D

You know I would "volunteer" to play work   :lol:
