1. This is a primary image of a road taken by me. I chose this
specific shot because I wanted to incorporate the white lines on
the road and the cracks to suggest to the viewers that a crash has
taken place at this location. I chose to use an image of a road as
my background for my poster because I felt as though it was
appropriate to the content of my documentary about Young Drivers.I
imported this photo onto Photoshop in order to get the sizing
anddegree right so that the Images I will be placing on top will
look inproportion to the road.
2. This is another primary image,taken by me. I ensured the
surfacein which I took the photo on wasplain so that the phone was
themain focus so when cropping thephoto out from its background
itbecome easier. I also ensured noreflections of light was over
thephone so it did not effect the finalresult and reduce
theprofessionalism of the poster.I chose to incorporate an image
ofa phone in my poster because it isknow as one of the main causes
ofcar accidents, with people usingtheir phones whilst driving on
adaily basis. I hope my viewers canrelate to this and want
tounderstand the true dangers ofdangerous driving and
theconsequences it may have.
3. This is another primary image.I took a picture of my
brothersIPhone, that happened to besmashed, I wanted to use aphone
with a cracked screenbecause the effect was to lookas though the
phone had beeninvolved in a car accident andto emphasise this I put
a photoof a smashed up car as thebackground. In order to get
thisimage as the background, Isent it as a text message tothis
phone and opened it incamera library.
4. Using one of the photographs Itook of a car that had been in
anaccident, I texted the image tomy brother s phone which had
acracked screen and thenmontaged it onto the previousphone image
using Photoshop. Ihad originally tried to put acracked screen
effect onto theimage but it did not look realisticenough, so this
was the bestoption.Once having montaged thecrashed car image onto
thephone this was then dropped onto the road image to make thefinal
image for the poster. For amore realistic image I used thedrop
shadow function inPhotoshop to make the image asrealistic as
possible.
5. The text on the final poster was taken from the PDF of the
corporate ID fromchannel 4. This was copied one letter at a time
and put onto the poster. Thechannel 4 logo was copied and applied
in the same way. Also in order to get thelogo the same colour as
the text I used the pipette tool in Photoshop to identifythe colour
and drag it onto the logo.
