Finished Poster

BEFORE

AFTER

I have finished the design for the poster! I decided to add the 15 certificate image to my poster like they do in real film posters.

I also used similar text similar to that of the Harry Potter film poster at the bottom of the poster. This shows the information about the film.

Font

I have chosen the font 'Face Your Fears' from Dafont.com to use in my poster. I chose this because it looks like blood smears and will look striking against a white background but will not pull focus from the hand print.

Poster Draft

This is currently the poster I have created. Although I like the effect, I am going to change the font at the bottom as I think it is too bold. I am also going to change the height of the title, as I think it is too stretched out.

Bloody Hand Print

Over the Christmas Holidays I experimented with different ways of creating bloody hand prints on paper to scan in to the computer.

I eventually decided to simply mix together red and green food colouring to get the desired effect and colour.

As you can see above, the original picture is not as dramatic as it could be, so I decided to edit it using a photo editing website called Picnik.

The new image is far more dramatic and eye catching than the original was, and will work much better as a poster.

I am in the prosess of editing the image by adding text.
