APPRAISAL

After completing my poster I can see that I have taken on bored some of what the posters I researched used. I used simple color scheme and not making it to busy.

I have used line in my image to create depth. To lines running up the centre of the image (in the form of the yellow brick road) create a depth of field. This stops the imaging being flat and gives it another dimension.

As far as shape goes I used a lot of geometric shapes such as semi-circles triangles etc. These where used because they clearly resemble certain things such as hills or the sun rays. I used abstract shapes as clouds and natural shapes for the small tuffs of grass.

When it comes to color I used an Analogous color system. I choose these colors as they represented the natural color of the objects I was portraying in my picture.

Texture has been used in a couple of ways in my image. The font has a brick texture. I generated this by hand. I drew each letter that I need by hand and drew on the bricks. I then scanned in the letters and constructed my text with them. I think this has been successful as something I have never done before. I also applied texture the grass, I used a solid green and then applied a noise filter with motion blur to achieve this. The clouds also have a ‘fluffy’ texture that was created using a soft brush.

Over all I am happy with my poster. I’m sure if I had a more extensive knowledge in photoshop and in drawing I could have produced a far more professional picture but for my skill level I’m very happy, and practice makes perfect!
