Post Production Document
I had many ideas when starting this photoshop project. I knew I wanted to do a charity event poster. However, I had different ideas. At first I started off with a race, then a fashion show, and finally came back to campus activities. I used all of these ideas and tried to find images to use before deciding which worked better for my project. I chose to do a dance project because I knew I wanted to do a poster that did not use actual pictures of people or things. I therefore knew that I already had some images from previous assignments in Visual Literacy.
I started by choosing the font for the main title of the poster. I knew no matter what poster type I chose to create that I wanted to use charity logos as some sort of border lining horizontally across the page. I played around alot with the placement of the musical notes, the disco ball and the break dancing man. I also could not get the hands at the bottom of the poster to work how I wanted them to. I tried different opacities and effects however none of them seemed to look right, so I left it how my original instinct put it. I wanted the title to be tilted across the page. I also knew I wanted to use bright colors that made the dance party seem like a fun upbeat time but without a specific musical genre limiting interest of the participants. Overall I like this poster, however I wish I had a better idea of how to search for images/pictures to use on my poster.
