Final changes on One Sheet

I made some final changes on the one sheet which is also on the front cover for the DVD case:
  • Hikoboshi and Orihime as characters came into existence rather late during the production phase. However they now play quite an important role in the film, as they retell the story of the legend of Tanabata. The legend says on Tanabata a crowd of magpies comes to form a bridge for the lovers over the river/milky way. Therefore I arranged Orihime and Hikoboshi opposite to each other on the two major decoration gates, and linked them with a half circle of magpies.
  • Furthermore I exchanged the background gates through new, more carefully selected gates which I build at later stages.
  • I also changed the font of the title. Originally the writing of Tanabata on the one sheet was in bold captial letters, which were very easy to read. However my intro the Hiragana version of Tanabata transforms into Roman lowercase letters, so the previous one sheet font was basically obsolete in the film. Although the writing as it is now may not be that easy to read as the one before, however the exchange was necessary to keep consistency in the design.
