I created a film poster using Photoshop skills I remembered from past years working with the software.
I used an image from the internet which I cut out from the background using both the magic wand tool to select large areas of colour to remove, as well as then using the eraser tool and zooming into the image and rounding off jagged edges to make the final picture of Marylin Manson look more professional.
I inserted a rectangle at the bottom of the page and used the black box as a background then I downloaded the "Steel Tongs" font and created a list of cast and crew for the film next to their job roles.
I liked the freedom of creating the product and think the colour scheme turned out well, it has a distinct dark look to it with the blood red a striking contrast, reminiscent of a horror film, as well as the image being a dark, eerie looking one, which dominates the page.
I disliked the little I had to do, I feel there is a lot more that could have been done and so I could have included other features and even content, such as images, or shadow effects. These could have made the plotline a little clearer and be linked more closely to the film title.
