I have decided for my double-page feature on Raise Your Flag I will have the following picture as the background for one of the pages, I think the left-hand side.
I have chosen this picture because it epitomizes the title of the musical as he is holding a flag up. The picture also includes typical pirate tropes and memes due to the skull and cross bones, outfit and sword. The position in which he is standing also creates good positioning for the text, title and other images.
Here is how I plan on using the picture as a background. The title will be painted in either black or brown, in a style that looks slightly like calligraphy.
Around the outside there will be some smaller images of the female pirates or the ship. Around the edge there will also be some ribbon, probably red and blue as they link to pirates. As with the contents page I will probably also include something like a button or piece of material. I may also chose to include captions or single words for some of the other pictures.

I have had a brilliant idea for the main body of the text, or at least I think it's brilliant. I want to tea-stain and burn the edges of some paper and stick it down. This will make it look old and 'pirate-y'. I will still place the text onto it using ICT. But I think creating that background for it will be very effective.
