The student designed an action movie poster for a class project using Photoshop. They took photos around Manchester to use as elements in the poster, including damaged roads and buildings. Effects like fire and blood were added using tools in Photoshop. The main actor is depicted wounded with a bloody face holding a gun. Different fonts and logo designs were also created for the production companies. While the student managed the project on their own despite being new to Photoshop, it was not finished on time and some photos had to be retaken after being accidentally deleted.

1. Evaluation
My last project was to design an action movie poster. I used the proposal to give my ideas and what
the poster is going to be about; it helped me to decide. I have used Photoshop for my poster
development. I also did logos for the production companies that I have used in my poster. First of all
I did the mind map for my ideas then the final idea, then proposal form to write down my final idea
for the last project.. I ruminated a lot then came to the final idea; the final idea was the action movie
poster. The idea is that I really like action movies. I chose the raging fire for my background because
it builds conflict
I have designed two logos for the action movie poster and some effects of fire using Photoshop.
Additionally I have used universal picture and Dolby digital logo too and removed the background.
I planned all my pictures; which picture will place where also. I went
lots of places in Manchester and look contrasting places and which
place will look perfect with my action movie poster. Additionally I did the special effects as well for
the pictures especially for fire, the background picture.
This is my layout plan for my action movie poster according to this I have
finished my poster.
The actor picture is in the middle with the wounded face and blooded
face because it builds strong action packed movie for the audience.
I also planned the rip to town in Piccadilly to look at the buildings and
take photos for my poster. I came with lots of different pictures and it was hard to finalise which
picture will match perfect with my poster. I sued Photoshop skills to complete every bit at the best
standard. I also did poster research, for different movies and thought about it. The reason was that
to look at different poster think about It., look at the background of the picture and the brightness,
contrast. What expression the poster got. I also did the production diary was part of my work. It was
that I have to write the dates of each work that when it finished. For every work it should be done.
The actor got wounded face and blooded to create a conflict in the poster and the expression that
win the audiences heart. Also the actor holding the gun aiming at some unknown guy in fierce
expression, the blood stains is on the gun as well to show truly action and thriller scene.
I also used the different font, I used dafont’s font, it called shrapnel font because I want to use some
unique font for my poster here is the example

encounter
Strength
My idea that I chose to make an action movie I managed well, and I did all the work that was in the
brief. I was not familiar with Photoshop but I did all the work own my own. I took the pictures of
different road, buildings, and other things that can be used for my poster. I got this idea by searching
different action movie poster and one day I can make my own, an action movie poster. I always like
an action movie that’s why I was more familiar with this genre.
In Photoshop I used the image adjustments level to show special effects on the image. The image
adjustments include: levels, auto levels, auto contrasts, auto colour, colour balance and brightness
and contrasts. I did the experiments using all these things on the images and finalised it and
designed the words for the productions in the Photoshop. I took the pictures of the damaged road
too to create some nice scene but it didn’t worked. There is another thing to be covered is that the
clothes will also be covered with blood stains on the poster, because the actor had a violent fight.
Weak point
My poster didn’t finish on time so this is the weak point. Also that I deleted my pictures by
accidently and I took them again so also the Photoshop was hard to use but I managed. Additionally I
couldn’t decide which photo to use which not so it took time.
Improve
I could be improve that I may want to research on the thing and do more practically. Also use more
software’s to create more realistic poster. Create a list of wide range of fonts. Promote well and get
people views on it. Draw a sketch first and then do on the software. Think about the theme and
story of the poster. Use more colour and do more research relating to the poster. Take pictures as a
professional
If I make next time I will present more developed idea and make a plan and go with a plan.

3. this is my finished action movie poster, I had to do exploring for this because to take range of
pictures. Also now it finished.
