Poster Drafts - Photoshop

My poster went through a number of drafts using Photoshop. Below I have included these drafts so that you can see the process that I went through when constructing my final poster.

First I added the billing block, converting it from black to white.

Then I added the first of my production company logos, which I inverted so that it was white rather than black.

Then I added the second production company logo, aligning it in the opposite corner from the first and also inverting it.

I then added my tagline as two separate lines on top of each other.

At the top of the poster I referenced other films from the same producers.

I then added the first of my reviews, focusing on the film's lead actor and her chances of awards success.

I added another review, referencing the film's director and using language which I felt reflected the murky, dark criminality of my storyline and chosen genre.

I added a final review, referencing the film noir genre.

I then added a release date at the bottom of the poster.

In between the billing block and the release date I added a social media hashtag.

I then placed the title of the film prominently in the middle of the poster, making sure it was the largest copy, also slanting the font to make it more eye-catching.

I then added a reference to an award, from the Berlin Film Festival.

I added a second award from the Sundance Film Festival.

Finally, I added a last award, from Cannes.
