photoshop tutorial
TRANSCRIPT
Intro
I decided to do a Photoshop tutorial as practise before starting to make a poster for my film.
I thought it would be a good idea to make a teaser poster for an imaginary horror film called ‘Darkness’ and use effects to make it look like it had been drawn or painted.
This poster didn’t take me long and I played on the idea of using simplicity and minimalism as a basis for my poster theme.
• Firstly, I decided to choose a background image that I thought would best suit my horror genre. I decided to use a black background with white mist going across the middle of it.
• I resized the image using the resize tool to fit the size of the poster I wanted.
• Secondly, I chose a image that I could easily add an effect to that would look like it had been drawn or painted on.
• The image I chose was a paranormal one which looked like a ghost of a little girl’s face. I had to save this image from the internet then open it in Photoshop as a separate layer.
• I then had to use the cropping tool to use the part of the image I wanted.
• I then went on to use the Lasso tool to select it
so I could add it on top of the background I had
chosen.
• I added an effect which was called ‘Dry brush’. This made
it seem like the image had been painted on
• I then went on to add the text. I decided to do the title ‘Darkness’ in black and in a simple font.
• I positioned it on top of the white mist going across the background
• I also added a tagline below the title to the right.
• I then added the ‘Coming soon’ at the top in smaller font
