The student created a poster to represent stress and worry. They traced an image of a stressed student in a black and white uniform and placed it on a black background. They then added background text surrounding the student in various distressed styles and textures. Finally, they added the title, date, and time of the event in white text with grey outlines and blurred, distorted effects to match the background.
2. The first action I took when creating my poster was to trace and cut around my main
image. The main image is of a student with his head in his hands. This is to present stress
or worry to the audience. The student is wearing a black and white uniform, this suits the
style of my poster as I decided to stick to black and white colours to represent a dark
mood.
3. I then added my cut out image to a black background. Thought that this image looked very
good on the black background as some of the image blends in to the background whereas
the white of the shirt really stands out.
4. I then added background text. The text is words that may describe how the student in the image is
feeling. I added a number of these to give a sense of the student being surrounded. I altered the
text by texturizing it as well as stylizing it with the wind feature. This gave the text a distorted
blurred effect.
5. Next I added my title, the title stated the name of the
documentary. I decided to make the title white with a
grey outline to stand out on the black background. The
title consists of different features. The first being that I
used the same texture as the background text to make it
seem blurred and distorted. I again added the wind
feature to this text as well as the stroke feature. By
combining these together it added a grey blur to the
edge of the text.
6. I then added the last two details of the poster which was the date and time. I used the same
combination of texture, stroke and wind to give this text the same distorted effect.
