Digital drawing reflective log

When i first got the assignment and had to use photoshop i was very worried, as i wasn't very experienced when it came to photoshop. This meant that i had to get lots of practice and guidance when it came to photoshop before i did three movie posters in the style of Saul Bass. Once i got used to photoshop i had to find inspiration for what movie posters i would do to find inspiration i look at saul bass’ work and used it to inspire my work. I decided to do posters on, Titanic, E.T. and The X-Files. They way i did my posters is i start with a blank primary colour as a background. I then added shapes and lines over them to create the poster. The X-Files poster was hand drawn and digitally scanned and i then added colour to make it. The poster are very simple, but effective, very much in a Saul Bass style .

I believe i could've improved on the overall quality of the poster and given more time that would of been an option, but the principles of the style are still there.

For my observation drawings i drew three mannequins all in a different position, to do this i needed a pencil and paper, once i set the mannequin in a position i drew it. It was reasonably easy to draw the three different positions. I then had to draw and storyboard that showed a mannequin drawing doing something. So, i decided to have the mannequin wave and then walk off, this was an enjoyable objective that I believe i competed it to a high standard.

Photoshop work

To make this banksy style image I first had to import my image to photoshop. Once I did that I had to change the threshold on the photo to get my desired effect .

 I then had to create a new layer and and change the blending of the new layer to lighten, then had select the gradient tool and select a colour I would then draw a line across the image to complete the fill and then use text tool to add text

For this image I use the color blue with a line from an Arnie movie

For this image I used the colour green as I feel it has the right feel for the Christopher Walken image and again have a movie quote as text
