Poster text cut

Round one's posters with their pictures kept and their text cut to the final copy.

How it was directed

This was the first iteration on round one, as Kevin asked. The pictures stayed and the text was cut to the final copy, from about 158 printed elements to 44, with two variants of each poster.

Kevin answered its open questions on the approval boards the next day and kept four of these posters as they stood.

What was made

Nine of round one's posters rebuilt with their pictures kept and their text cut to the final copy, each in an A and a B variant, plus a land alternate of globe-particle; printed text fell from about 158 elements to 44. almanac-date was not carried, because the final copy prints no date.
