Poster Editing Process

For my poster, I wanted to create an eerie and ominous looking effect. I used an online tutorial for Photoshop to try to imitate common horror poster conventions. To document my work, I used the Print Screen tool on the keyboard to show each stage and layer. I think my poster turned out to be effective and looks very similar to other horror movie posters. 

First, I started out by editing the panda picture. This meant I was able to insert the final edit onto a black background to start adding other features of the poster. I chose to put the panda image in the top part of the poster in order to leave room for the titles.

Next, I started to add the title and slogan, as well as the actors' names. I used the same font for all of the titles on the poster and used a gradient filter to make them seem shadowed and ominous. The red colour of the title was to add emphasis to it and draw the audiences eye to the film. This colour also creates an evil effect to indicate the horror genre.

To finish the poster, I added the credits to the bottom. I made the credits on Photoshop, and used a different font to make them look more squished and effective as credits.
