Film Poster Copy
In this task I attempted to recreate an existing film poster, with the original being on the right and my copy on the left. This enabled me to become familiar with Photoshop and the different tools and develop my skills on this program. Although, I found this task largely successful, I did find there were a few difficulties. These included finding the exact font or one that is reasonably similar. I felt this was extremely important to get right as it can change the whole tone of the poster.
From this task I learnt many things such as the importance of placement of fonts and images and also the importance of using various fonts that compliment each other. This task really enabled me to have a really good first understanding of film posters that I will be able to take into consideration when I am creating my own poster.
