Here's the poster for mine and Skatepro521's BiM 2011 ~ TOY entry The Ship Upon The Horizon
Feedback? 
Looks nice.
But how was the Titanic a mystery? An oversized ship hit an oversized ice cube and lots of people died. Mystery solved.
I think the real mystery is why the poster is in the shape of a deformed octagon. 
It's just to try make it interesting or stand out but obviously not .... 
It was Nixon.
Yes, but no. Nixon was president during the actual lunar landings, but it was Kennedy who initiated the Mercury and Apollo programs, and it was Johnson who oversaw them.
Also, Roblego, if you make it look normal, the set itself is normal, as in they aren't on a sinking, slanting ship, their just standing up perfectly straight, or lying down, as the case may be.
Roblego, in your poster there are people smiling. I'm sure people wouldn't be too happy about drowning in freezing water in the middle of the Atlantic. Second of all, from what it looks like to me, the life jackets are yellow, a historical innacuracy since the life-jackets are white on the Titanic. Also, I'd imagine women would be wearing dresses, not pants, and would not have their hair in a ponytail, maybe a nice bun or down. Also men would not wear baseball caps.
That's all for now.

Yes, but this film will be in black and white, as the poster states. Therefore, yellow will and does look white enough to be considered white, am I right?
Okay, so he's managed to squirm his way around one historical innacuracy. But judging by the poster alone, there is many more to come.
Ok!I've been revising and researching and...
...yeah.What'd you think?
Kinzcove, you have to stop correcting all the historical inaccuracies in people's films. These inaccuracies would not be noticed unless someone like you shouts it to the whole world. In addition to that, it's very annoying. I know you used to do this, but that doesn't give you the right to correct everyone. It's not your problem. Thanks in advance.
1. I understand the smiley thing, but the guy in the back is still wearing a baseball cap.
2. What happened to black and white? That was good. You need some life vests.
3. Nice water effect, plus the half minifig "swimming."
4. "The Ship that Stood Still?" That ship was going full speed into the iceberg, and for hours it slowly sank. What do you mean "stood still?"
Well goldencamera, whoever I correct should be thanking me. These things I 'point out' are extremely obvious and everybody notices. So it's not just some random fact, it's something that relates to the time period itself. K?

Nope. It's really, really annoying, and I'm actually P.Oed at you ATM and am not about to thank you.
I don't really want to get involved in this, but Kinzcove is actually helping. He's fixing everyone's mistakes, so they have a better chance of winning. If you don't want his help goldencamera, don't take it. Just ignore it, and play nice. Let's make this a friendly website from now on.

Naw, being helpful would be to carefully lay out some points of criticism, not make snide remarks when people try to fix things based on feedback and say there are many more mistakes to come.
Let's try to be a little more respectful to each other, folks.
I thought GIMP was available on OSX?
I have Mac OSX and I have gimp. Go to http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html
and be sure to select the right wild cat version. I have Leopard and it works just fine.
