2. While I am creating my poster I am going to do a
production log to show the steps I have taken to complete
and edit the poster task.
The software that I am going to be using is ‘Adobe
Photoshop CS6’ and since using this program last year I
feel I am a good user so I’ll be able to produce a poster to
a good level.
3. First I opened the Photoshop program then chose my page size which was A4
I then went onto to make the back ground black so I could use lighter colours
of text so they stand out on the poster.
4. First I found an image of a Golden apple on Google which I
went onto edit in Photoshop I edited the apple by using the
‘Bevel’ tool which allowed me to make part of the apple
lighter on one side and dark on the other. I also used the
‘Magic Wand’ tool which allowed me to crop around the
image and get rid of the background so the apple would just
be a circle.After I done this I added the Apple to the poster.
After I had finished editing the
Apple I added it over the black
background which I positioned the
image of the apple to be the centre
of the page so it stands out.
5. After I had finished editing the image I then went onto add the
title of the poster. Firstly I chose the text I wanted to use for the
title which was ‘Bodoni’.
Then I used different effects as ‘Bevel & Emboss
and Gradient overlay’ to edit the effect of the title
text. The Gradient overlay effect allowed me to
make the text have two colours which were ‘Gold &
White’ which mixed in with each other and the
‘Bevel & Emboss’ tool allowed me to make the text
bold which stands out on the poster.
I then added the edited text underneath the
image to make the title and image
correspond with each other on the poster.
6. Through my research on posters I
found that they used taglines so on my
poster I decided to do the same so I
could attract my target audience.
To keep consistency throughout the poster I
used the same font and gradient overlay
colours so they correspond with one another
on the poster and so the target audience
doesn’t get distracted by too many different
things happening on the poster.
This is the poster with the
tagline included at the top of
the page I originally had the
tagline in the apple with a
black font but it didn’t work
so I chose to move it to the
top where nothing else was
so the tagline could stand
out.
7. Like all the other text on I included ‘Most anticipated’ because I felt this
the poster I’ve kept would attract the target audience and would be
everything the same with the unique selling point alongside the tagline
font and effect tools to which would help sell the movie.
keep the consistency.
As all the text has the
same effects and font I
decided to spread them
out across the poster so
they aren’t close to each
other and as you can see
they all have different
Gradient angles from one
another.
8. Finally I added the last bit of text which was
the credits on the poster of the creators of the
project and the actors involved in the movie.
The same font ‘Bodoni’ is used but unlike all
other text on the poster I decided to use a
white colour font and I didn’t use the effects
that I used on all the other pieces of text I
placed on the poster.
This is the complete design of
the poster with all the
relevant features on it to draw
in the audience many codes
and conventions were
challenged such as the use of
image normally movies have a
photograph of the main actors
I decided to use an apple
which emphasises the
significances of the apple in
the movie.
9. Also on the poster I added my groups
production name ‘Bigger & Better’ at
the bottom of the page so the
audience could establish who made
the movie. Which was made by
Thamina The image which is used at the bottom of the poster to
identify our company.
