Stage 1 - Downloading & Installing Star Font
As I went on http://www.dafont.com/, I searched for 'Star Fonts'. After choosing a particular star (Letter A), I downloaded the font.
To acess my downloads I had to go into 'Finder' (On the MAC) and find the zip code. After successfully finding it, I double clicked it.
This created an icon that allowed to install it.
This screenshot is evidence that the font is now at my disposal.
Stage 2 - Extracting Image & Changing Background
Simialr to how I extracted the image in Film Magazine, I used the 'Magic Wand' tool and extracted the image form its original background. After that, I pasted the image onto a new background and then began to fill th background with shapes and the 'Gradiant' tool.
Stage 3 - Contrast of Drafts & Extracting Text
In comparison, the first draft looks fairly childish becasue the background is too overwhelming and it appears to just look like a image with text above it. Therefore, as most comedy films do, I gave the background a 'cartoony' feel so that it appeared humourous and vibrant. 'The Inbetweeners' and 'Road Trip' film poster does this too.
Stage 4 - Inserting & Editing Film Poster Text
Firstly, I copied the orignal text layers from my first draft and placed them in the same place. However, this time I re-arranged them so they look more professional. Then I began to add a very popular convetion that I didn't use before on my film poster. I inserted credits at the bottom in the universal font so that is appeared similar.
This screenshot shoes evidence that I changed the sizes of the font to match common conventions.
Stage 5 - Finished Draft
Here you can see the finsihed draft and the added credits. In my opinion, it already appears more realistic.
