Ch-Ch-Changes

I know the above appears to have a lot of text. I did cut down on the character profile keeping only the essential information. I like what you suggested, but if I have a page for each character is that too much? I don't want to make it seem like filler. Also, I think I would have to draw them in new poses-since I want to avoid repeating the same old stuff and I don't want to put this thing off for another week . . . But if you think the above really drains the enthusiasm with a lot of text to look at in boring black and white I'll change it, as I'm starting to think it's a real downer to look at.


I found a font I really like for the pitch. I did go in a little bit and play with faint curb lines and trees but I wanted to keep this long banner kind of format-since it's supposed to act as the pitch menu. What do you think of the spacing and wording?
Again I'm weary about pushing things back another week. I could make the layout a big square (like the original abbey road photo) thus keeping the stuff I have now down at the bottom and doing that faint BG like you suggested-eventually fading away at the top just like the colour gradation . . . dang now I'll have to give it another go!
