Poster Designs

This was an idea that I played around with. I tried out different splatter and smudge effects but felt they were too false. The colour here is far too bright is unrealistic for the colour of blood. However I do like how the blood splat has almost worked as a border around part of the image. Though I feel it isn't quite serious enough and almost comical. 

After Editing, both the image and the typography, I layered both images onto one another by changing the opacity of the images, to make both layers more see through/transparent. 

Here, I added two blood splatters by using the brush tool and putting on smudges.

Next, I zoomed in closely to see the typography and added cracks to it. I also added another layer of the typography because I didn't feel the font was clear enough, it seemed too faded. By doing this, it has also created a shadow like silhouette glow around the writing, making it appear more 3D and more in the foreground.

I then added another blood splatter as I felt the top left of the poster was a bit empty and needed some colour. Red and black are typical colour conventions of Horror films and posters.

This is the final design and I have now included a tagline. This makes it more of a film poster instead of just a photograph. Personally, I feel it works quite well and fits the codes and conventions of horror films. 

This is the final design with the billing. I have removed the tagline because it didn't fit in with the genre, story-line or style of my poster. I am pleased with the billing although I feel there is a lot of it there. I am going to edit it again and insert a new tagline, as well as trying to make it more realistic looking. 

Finished complete main poster. 

Teaser Poster: 

This is the final design for my teaser trailer poster for my horror campaign. 

Edited the final design of the teaser poster and added some red blurs to create a blood effect. I will then add a tagline and then the teaser poster will be complete. 

Here I have changed the brightness of the image as when I printed it, it was very dark and you couldn't see the finger marks clearly at all. I will print this to see how well it comes out and hopefully it will be a lot easier to see. 

Changed Brightness, font and design.
