Photoshop tutorial
- 1. Photoshop Tutorial By Pardeep Plaha 13.2
- 2. Intro I decided to do a Photoshop tutorial as practise before starting to make a poster for my film. I thought it would be a good idea to make a teaser poster for an imaginary horror film called ‘Darkness’ and use effects to make it look like it had been drawn or painted. This poster didn’t take me long and I played on the idea of using simplicity and minimalism as a basis for my poster theme.
- 3. • Firstly, I decided to choose a background image that I thought would best suit my horror genre. I decided to use a black background with white mist going across the middle of it. • I resized the image using the resize tool to fit the size of the poster I wanted.
- 4. • Secondly, I chose a image that I could easily add an effect to that would look like it had been drawn or painted on. • The image I chose was a paranormal one which looked like a ghost of a little girl’s face. I had to save this image from the internet then open it in Photoshop as a separate layer. • I then had to use the cropping tool to use the part of the image I wanted. • I then went on to use the Lasso tool to select it so I could add it on top of the background I had chosen. • I added an effect which was called ‘Dry brush’. This made it seem like the image had been painted on
- 5. • I then went on to add the text. I decided to do the title ‘Darkness’ in black and in a simple font. • I positioned it on top of the white mist going across the background • I also added a tagline below the title to the right. • I then added the ‘Coming soon’ at the top in smaller font
