Expendables Poster Stages

I took screenshots of the stages I went through when I creating my Expendables poster. I made my poster using Photoshop



I had to find a background which would suit my genre of an action film. I had to use the crop tool to make to the size that I wanted and move it onto place on the canvas.

For the title of my film, I found an action font by looking on a website called 'Dafont'. I used the selection tool to put the title into place and also scaled it to the correct size. I had to get the images of the people who will be on this poster. They were took standing in front of a green-screen so that it is easier to cut out. I had to use the magnetic lasso tool to cut this out. I also added a brown coloured film over the background him to make it more realistic.

The next stage that I went through was cutting the rest of the people out using the magnetic lasso tool, scaling them to the correct size and then moving them correct place. Everything that I have put on this poster has been done on different layers as they can be selected and moved.

The last thing that I needed to do was to add a credit bar which is on every film poster that I have looked at. I also added a tagline, a 'from the director of' and the BBFC logo of 15. I added all of this as on film posters that I analysed, all of these things were present on them to.
