A plea or a gripe-depends where you are

This is a plea which may well sound inconsequential or not worth bothering about and may well bring down the wrath of God on my head but..........

To everyone who designs/makes-up/is responsible for Posters

Please. Please PLEASE include the year of production in your designs.

Now this may sound obvious/trite/not worth bothering about BUT I do assure you that in time to come when some poor soul is trying to make sense of the archives (which are usually in a mess when some brave person decides to get them in some kind of order) it saves much frustration and hair-pulling out.

And this is where I get myself into more trouble- the design is not as important as the basic information-WHAT-WHERE-WHEN-HOW MUCH-WHERE DO I GET TICKETS

OK off my soap-box

Feel for you

Norma, I have designed a few posters in my time and I feel the same as you do, however, I have been frequently told by the theatre company for whom the design is for that they DO NOT WANT the year displayed. As to the logic of this, I cannot fathom.

My point is that it would seem that many theatres request posters this way, but I share your frustration all the same.
