It is important that it is colourful, eye catching and reminiscent of the images from the actual story by Robert Munsch. Not too busy. The Princess & the dragon are usually the most identifiable characters from the story.
These theatres are expect high quality looking advertising, so it needs to be clean and professional looking.

1.) Top left corner our logo.
2.) Space top right corner for theatre to add theirs if they wish
3.) Title must be written as:
