Poster Production diary

This shows evidence of myself editing on Photoshop in order to make my poster stand out and be more interesting for my target audience. The effect that I am here trying to achieve here is giving a shadow effect for half of the photo this would be done by using the tool on the side of the page which is called opacity which allows the user to change the level of shade that is added to an image, by doing this I managed to create a contrast of dark and light effect that would fit the genre of the film of a dramatic sense of good vs evil.

1. Stage

This shows an example of myself testing out some effects that may or may not be included into the final poster, these effects consisted of adding layers onto different parts in order to add colour to the characters so that different parts stand out from each other when they come together making the image look eye catching.

2 stage

This shows an example of testing the colour scheme that could potentially be used in my poster this part of photo manipulation was particularly difficult as I struggled to work out how to make sure that the colours used only applied to the characters and not the rest of the page, this also consisted of coming to a final decision on what shade of red that would be used for the characters.

3 stage

This shows an example of having to edit in the background that will be used for the poster this consisted of using a free website that allowed me to use this background in order to stay in line with the theme which is good vs evil. This picture also shows finally being able to add the colour scheme of red to the characters this was done by using a tool on the side which is called magnetic lasso tool which allowed me to go round the outline of the characters and be able to colour them in individually without the program adding colour to everything else as well.

4 stage

This shows the final stage of creating the poster, this stage was done on InDesign it consisted of adding the titles the information and some colour variation addition.This also consisted of working to make sure that the layout of the page is correct to fit my poster which is landscape.
