PLANNING: PHOTOSHOP

Photoshop

After researching all of the film posters and taking the still shots of the photo I desired, I went straight to work familiarising myself with a software I haven't used much before, Photoshop. I tried my best to make sure the bright and young feel of the poster was executed well, and experimented using different colours and backgrounds, and images which I felt related to the age and personality of not only the character but also the desired audience. I found pros and cons of photoshop, and though I do hope to use it in my final film poster, I will also research and experiment using a different software.

PROS: Easy to import images, easy to change background, easy to move the image, easy to revert back mistakes.

CONS: Hard to erase the background successfully, hard to write with different fonts.

  1. In Photoshop, you can import any font that you require: ask me. I agree that merging layers and erasing background requires patience. Excellent first draft: it seems to me that the pop art quality would work well with your genre. How are you getting on with your research into Peter Blake and Sergeant Pepper artwork?
