Poster part 2

I have spent two and a half hours creating the poster. It is not realistic like the work or Boris Vallejo who created the poster that inspired me, mine is more cartoon like. I enjoy the cartoon style because its fun and dramatic which matches the essence of the film. To create this poster I used a graphics tablet and the brush tool on photoshop. I have had practice doing this in a previous project so I felt confident when I began and did not have trouble whilst creating it.

After finishing the background I wanted to add the title of the film as most film posters have the title on them. I had been thinking about using a goosbumps type font, letters that seemed to ooze. The ideal font is one that is spooky itself. I couldn't find a font that suited my criteria in the fonts that photoshop provided, instead of downloading one from the internet I decided to just add drips to a font I already had. I did this so I could have a very personalized font and make it look exactly how I wanted. I chose the bright slime green because it is a classic spooky colour. Also a main spooky feature in my film is the green space aliens at the end so I wanted to incorporate that alien green throughout my film and project. Another reason why I chose this colour is because the band that features in my film is called Little Green Men so it all ties perfectly together.
