Poster Drafts

First Draft On paper

Second Draft On Paint

I particularly like the main image of the face in this image, it is something you expect to see in a horror poster: either the face of the protagonist looking scared, or the face of the antagonist  Considering my antagonist is 'an unknown entity' I have chosen to show the protagonist looking fearful. Similarly I like the colour red being used in my movie name and the blood hand print, as it connotes danger and clearly shows the genre. I don't however like the image of the weapon being in shot, I think it deducts from the element of the unknown and makes the poster seem unprofessional. Missing from this first draft is a font that would be used on my poster as well as the credit block, release date, and any ratings or quotes.

Third Draft On Photoshop Using Original Graphics

In using original images I am able to see problems that may occur in making my final poster, such as, my schedule may be rearranged due to the fact some elements are more time consuming than I had initially anticipated. Such as, the blood streaks take longer to create the shape and the splattered effect. What I've also focused on in this draft is the details that are important in a poster, such as the layout, the release date, the billing block and quotes from magazines (including the magazine I will create as a part of this project). I feel there may be too much red and the visual hierarchy isnt clear, thus this is something I will experiment with in my redraft.
