PHOTOSHOP INDUCTION | SESSION 2

In this session we began to create our own film posters using our own images and skills we've picked up from the sessions.

The film I chose was Donnie Darko as it's one of my favourite ones and I thought it would be easy to reproduce in my own style as I like using dark colours and themes and this would be really appropriate for the film.

I started off by doing an illustration of Frank the rabbit with ink, and scanned it in:



I wanted my poster to be dark, so I created a new document and made it black. I added the illustration  and used the healing tool to get rid of the smudges and marks. I inverted it, then switched it to lighten. 

Then I added some textures:


I made them black and white as it worked better without colour. Then I added the title, a quote and some of the main cast. 

I like how it turned out, and the light from the car on my second texture represents a lot of foreshadowing in the film for the character Frank (as his eye is bleeding/shot during one scene).
Overall I think I managed to make a good poster but maybe a little bit of colour or a nicer quote would have improved it.
