Seconday Task: Making the Poster

In order to create the poster we used the photo editing program Photoshop.

To create the background of the poster we simply used the gradient tool and choose two fairly dark colours, in a dark blue and purple. We choose these colours as we felt that this would make the image stand out, whislt also still being colourful enough to appeal to our target audience.

Once that was done we needed to place the image of the tiger over the top of the background.

I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut out the image, and place it on the already set background.

We then needed to work on the text. We knew that the text needed to be bold, so that it would stand out, and the audience would know that this advert was for the album 'Dance Like An Animal' by Eric Herman. We decided to try and emmulate a similar text as to the one used in the Saturday Night Fever poster.

To edit the text we used a number of effects on it, such as the 'drop shadow' effect
