For the making of this poster I didn't necessarily research anything. I created this poster during one of Faye's lessons for catching up. I looked on moodle at what I needed to include on the poster and I then thought to put this together. I thought that the most important thing for the poster would be the background and making it eye catching and some how can relate to the product. I thought that because the flavor of the product we used was orange I would make the background oranges to reassemble what flavor the product is. I then thought that it was a good idea as orange is a bright color and it sticks out well. I liked my choice for this. I pasted it onto Photoshop and then thought about the next step which was how to include the product on the poster. I then remembered back to previous lessons where I was messing around on Photo shop and I was attempting to get the scream character to hold the product and I got inspiration to try again. I then applied this idea to the poster and I managed to get the character to hold it. In order to do this I had to first of all print screen of adobe premiere when Nathan had recorded the drink as we never took an original image. I then cut the drink out using the lasso and quick selection tool and just for now copied and pasted the selection onto the poster. I then went onto cutting out the scream character with the same process and pasted it onto the poster. I then had to move it around and I then figured that to make it more effective I need to try and get it to look like the character is gripping onto it. I then had to crop the scream character again but this time just crop the fingers out and place them near the drink. I then went onto choosing fonts and choosing what color to make it stand out and I chose grey to make the poster advert slightly dark but not too much and I used the same font and color for the quote and edited it underneath. I then thought I didn't want to have the text in a straight line and right underneath each other so I inserted the top of a fanta bottle after the quote. I cut out more than half of the drink on photo shop as I had to get it looking like our product and without the 'Fanta' label being on the poster. The last step I included was the jigsaw character from saw onto the letter O. I got inspired and thought to edit the text a little so it wasn't just boring text and I thought that I needed to stick to the same freak or unique theme so I thought to edit a mask onto the letter O. I was going to think futher into what I could do to edit the other letters but at that moment in time I couldn't think and it was close to the end of the lesson and I was happy with the outcome of what I had produced.
I learnt the skills of cropping more efficiently by using both the lasso and quick selection tool together as I didn't know I could do that. I learnt how to copy and paste from one tab to another. I learnt how to in general what is needed to create the poster. I think the only thing i'm missing is the logo on the drink but I could not access it on the day as Nathan wasn't in. I had created my own but it wasn't the same as what we used for the product.
I am overall happy with the outcome of the poster and my group also liked it and picked it to be included in the video advert.
If I could improve I would include the logo and some more information which I saw on moodle but I wasn't sure what to include.
