Poster in Progress pt.2

These are the final stages that I undertook when making my poster.

Making the backgrounds were fun, as they were the simplest things to do. I got an image of the Boston skyline and changed the hue to complete Funmi's costume. On the opposing side I got a rural country landscape and again altered the hue to be complimentary to her attire.

Additionally, I added as a small bus like the '352' to create synergy between the poster and the trailer. I found a really cool image of an eternal clock spinning round and round and I thought thus would be perfect to add into the poster - so i did.

Although, it seemed the simplest the text was actually the hardest thing to do...after editing the actual photos of Funmi. I used the font 'Coolvetica' the same one that I used in the trailer ,for for the tagline and main title to further create synergy between the two marketing devices, to really emphasis that both the poster and the trailer are united in trying to sell the same thing.

However for the actual credits I used Arial Narrow as it was the closest font I could find to the actual type that is conventionally used on film posters. Making the credits,w as really painstaking as I had to keep switching between a 50pt sized font and 72pt size, whilst leaving gaps in certain places (that I would later go back and fill with the even smaller credits like 'edited by' which are split over two lines) to create that official look that credits on posters have.

The finishing touches to the trailer were the small symbols at the bottom displaying the companies that contributed to the film's production such as Walt Disney Pictures, Dolby Digital SDDS, my home made Sugar and Spice Productions and finally the rating of the film G - suitable for all.
