We were working on the F while we were getting ready for some guests this week, so we actually weren't together when doing our different parts. Tina had to make assumptions as to what I (Cynthia) was going to do with the words, and she knew that I'd probably want it to be a black letter, and they can be a little more tricky. Because the black goes with a lot of things you can end up with a very dull looking design for the letter, which Tina was concerned about with the black and white pictures behind. The pictures were something we really wanted in there though, but she threw in the blue locker to offset it and add a pop of color, and she knew I'd use red letters that would add another pop of color. That ended up going pretty well, as the red I chose to use was to mimic the poster's font and centralized location.
Aside from the locker Tina didn't want to put a lot of bigger set graphics in, so she chose to focus on instruments that are played throughout the show. She only ended up designing the guitar and trumpet, though she had plans to do other instruments. When she got those done though they were nicely balanced and she opted to leave it at that. She had designed a maraca but it apparently looked terrible so it's not on there.
For the wording, Tina let me know what line to do (since I'm not super familiar with the musical) and I was pleased that it was three words. It took a little finagling to get Remember to fit well with Name, but we got it figured out and I think it looks pretty good :)
