Adobe Photoshop

This is our poster called Split. We made this poster to develop our Photoshop skills. We used Adobe Photoshop 2017.  We started by collecting an image from Google.

The images we selected did not fit the screen or were facing the wrong way, so we used the transform tool to flip the pictures horizontally. The images we used all had backgrounds, so we used the quick selection tool to cut around the object we wanted, so it could be placed on the black background (which is a stereotypical colour used in horror films). We did this for both the faces so that they would be the only parts of the image used. In order to do this, we had to rasterise the smart object and inverse it so that we could delete the back part of the photos. On a separate layer we added the text, the blood drop and the fire. In order to get the text and the blood the same colour we used the lasso tool, meaning that the shades were the same.

Within the poster we kept the rule of thirds by using symmetry throughout and by placing the protagonists at the front layer, so the audience will see them immediately.
