Creating our posters

For all 3 of our designs, Me and Imogen used Adobe Photoshop C3S. We copied and pasted both our title and our blood splattered background on. The picture of the blood spatter was fine as it was; however, the text needed a lot of editing. We used the “Magic Wand” to select our text from the background; this took some time as our text is quite grainy and rough. Unlike our AS project, we have spent a lot more time researching into font type and colour schemes. We have decided on black and white with red. For example, our background pictures with the fonts over the top would be to light if the pictures were in colour. Black and white takes away the 'distraction' of colour. The viewer’s eye concentrates on the subject itself. Tones, shapes, textures, light play, shadows, and depth of field all become more apparent when the element of colour is removed.

The text was previously black and we tinted it up to a dark red – darker than the blood splatter on the page, to make sure it was too dull, as we didn’t want it to blend in and be unnoticeable. We then copied and pasted the finished text on top of our picture. We have to alter the size and we wanted it positioned at the top of page, were the page was lighter. We also, did exactly the same with the woodland pictures.
