Doctor Who Graphic: I Found You In Words

, , , , 0 Comments

I love Amy Pond so much and I’ve always really liked this picture of her. I decided to see if I could make something poster-like with it. And it had to have words in there somewhere, I decided, because “I found you in words!” is both one of my favourite Amy lines and one of my favourite descriptions of what it means to be a writer.

So here’s the result, but I also thought I’d share a lil step-by-step guide to how I made it, because I was quite proud of myself for pulling it off:

Can you find the words (heh) in the graphic? Amy’s last letter to the Doctor is spilling out of the Time Crack.

The official Noughts and Crosses poster seems to be out

And I like it! I especially like that the design of Callum’s shirt is reminiscent of scrawled noughts, if you squint a little.

I am however really confused as to why the ITV logo is on it? Because it’s being made by the BBC? What did I miss?

For comparison, here’s the poster I made before anyone had any promo shots or anything aside from a cast list:

It’s not quite as eye-catching, really, is it? I have lots of ideas for a good Noughts and Crosses poster, but unfortunately I lack the skills to see it through.

Remembering The Angels Take Manhattan

On this day seven years ago, Doctor Who aired Amy and Rory’s final episode, The Angels Take Manhattan, and… I found it so disappointing. I still do. God, the potential that was wasted.

There were things I liked! I liked that the end of Amy’s arc is her having agency and making a firm choice. I liked the beautiful music which plays as Amy and Rory fall. I liked…god, what else did I like… I liked the brief moment between Amy and River before she says goodbye?

Anyway!

Really, looking back, my favourite thing about The Angels Take Manhattan was the leadup to it. Before it aired I created this poster:

(Where I posted it originally I could not say. On Gallifrey Base maybe?)

…and someone liked it so much they printed it out and used it! I still have the picture they sent me.

Doctor Who fandom at that point in time was generally a nice place to be. I remember, even though I didn’t like the episode, no-one fought with me about it. And I was so, so happy to see my poster put to good use! Thank you, poster-user, wherever you are. I’m sorry I forgot your name.
