Main Poster

For my my main poster,I took and used an image that I had taken of an arm wrapped with rope.

I then changed the hue and saturation of the image to create the black and white effect. Using the burn tool, (original exposure), I made the rope darker. I then used the brush tool, (low opacity, colour red) I was able to make the rope look blood stained. Lastly, I used the pencil (on sketch) to make the creases of the fingers more prominent.
Once I used the wand tool to crop the background from the hand, I was able to import the image onto a poster size black background. I then zoomed closer into the image so I could remove any white/jagged parts of the image. By adjusting the curves, I started the give the image more of a cartoon effect rather than it just being 'an image'.



My original typography was this. But, I imported it back into pixlr and added it to my poster and edited it to make it bigger and bolder. 


By zooming into the typography, and using the white brush tool, I went back over each individual letter to make it look bolder and brighter. I then removed the corner smudges with the eraser and re-did them; making them more noticeable and complimentary to the typography itself.



Lastly, I used BERNARD CONDENSED for the copy on the bottom of my poster. The emptiness of the poster connotes the theme of isolation that reoccurs in the script. However, this image leaves an enigma code as to who is most secluded - it leaves the question as to who's arm is this.
