Final project for Computer Graphics I: make a booklet with a theme of 10 things, using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. My theme is "10 Broadway Musicals". My first concept was to create an entire photomanipulation illustration in Photoshop for each musical representing a scene, and while my professor appreciated that I was thinking big, she advised that I just do a vignette of a character to go with each musical because I didn't have enough time to do something so complex.

So that's what I ended up doing: making a quick photomanipulation for each character in a frame, hanging on a wall, with a lyrics excerpt inside a vector border made in Illustrator.

Page 3 is Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid. Yes, this one actually was on Broadway (they kicked off Beauty and the Beast for it ) but it was a huge flop and closed after like 18 months. The lyrics are from a demo of one of the songs written for the musical, which were changed later before the show opened.

Listen to the demo, sung by Kerry Butler, here: If Only
