..on the High Society poster.

Green's not my favourite colour either, but I'm restricted to two colours for this job. I'm not sure whether to have the yellow printed as actual metallic gold... Anyway, I needed green for the champagne bottle.

I agreed with what people said about the champagne bottle - I wasn't happy with it either. Inistially I'd intended to do the bottle in the style of Cassandre's arc deco Dubonet ads, but as usual it metamorphed into something else and the bottle kinda got left behind. So I started again from scratch and redid the entire bottle. I'm now far happier with it.

Any other comments on the amended version?

That's vastly superior...
Fixed the one problem I thought was seriously pulling the poster down...
If it weren't coupla hundred miles away I might even consider coming to watch it...

Much better

Yeah, fixing the champaign bottle made the poster. As for gold vs yellow... depends. If you want it to look period to the 30s (which sounds like where the show is set timewise) I'm thinking yellow, since my impression is gold printing is a fairly recent development. Come to think of it, I think gold would overwhelm the composition, too. It's got a good feel to it as is, I'd print it as is.
