Mock Up Images for DVD Cover

Here I have cropped the image and pulled the contrast up and the darkness down. I use this image on the back of my DVD cover.

To make the image more sinister I added the image of the litter boy in the background. I darkened him out to give the effect that he is lurking in the shadows.

Here I used the image I previously edited as the background and used the boy but enlarged him. I took a chunk from the sky and duplicated it to use at the top of the spine of my DVD cover. I duplicated the image of the boy as well and made it smaller to put onto the spine.

This image here can be seen on the left hand side of my DVD cover below. I cropped it so it was a vertical image and the played around with the brightness, contrast and curves. I changed the hue and color so it looks turquoise to match the sky in the other image.

I used this image on my DVD back cover and brought the brightness down and the contrast up to get a nice effect.

To get this image I used the edited images and merged the together. I used the background image and make it big enough and then blacked out the background so it merges together. I inserted the images and made them small enough and then used the brush tool to go around them so they blend in, I inserted the table I made and all of the appropriate information such as the DVD sign and the age restrictions. To complete the back cover I need to add the blurb and credits.

I scratched the eyes out in white using the pencil tool on 'sticky' which I think looks more effective.

Mock Up Images for Poster

Here I darkened the image with the brightness and contrast tools. I then made the image appear more blue than green using the colour balance tool. I selected the sky using the lasso tool and make the sky dark on its own. I used the brush tool to create the crack effect in the corners. Finally, to created the blur look I used the gaussian blur filter. To make this image scarier I will remove the pink and make the house look older.

Firstly I edited this image by using the wand and lasso tool to cut around him. I then brought the brightness and contrast down. I also used the curve tool to make the image darker.

I put my typography and tagline onto my poster by using the wand tool and deleting the background. I darkened the whole image slightly as a whole and this is the result. I also edited the eyes of the boy by darkening them with the brush tool.

Here I blacked out the pink flowers usuing the brush tool. I the lightened the background image of the house so the poster will stand out more. I experimented with the curve tool to make the image of the book look darker in areas. I also experimented with the brush tool and added splatters and cracks to make the poster stand out from afar.

This is the image with the new typography.

 Using the free distort tool I pulled my image up to make it appear bigger. I black out to background using the fill and brush tool but keep some to and colored it red to add cracks. I blended them in to give the effect that they are creeping up on the house. I used the curve tool to find a good balance of light. I played around with the color balance, hue and saturation and contrast until I found the right level. I made the image bigger and distorted it again until it looked dominating. I think this is effective as it looks more like a poster.

I distorted the image a lot more and used the color tool to create the blue / green effect in the sky. I also added cracks to give the effect of a storm. I darkened the image and I think it looks very effective.

I think the sky looks very effective here.

 I distorted the image and pulled the contrast right up and the brightness down to get this look.

 I played around with the lighting and saturation until I got a dark image. I distorted the image up a lot so it had a daunting feel to it. I used the filter glamour glow to make it slightly blurry.

This image looks more sinister as he is smiling.

To get this image I used the curve tools and contrast to create a bright but sinister look. I maintained the viability of his facial features apart from the eyes which I blackened out.

Here I turned the contrast up and used the curve tool to make the clouds more visible. I distorted the image to make it more imposing using the free distort tool.

Here I used three images i previously edited and brought the brightness down on all of them. I put my tagline, title and credits on the poster and used the brush tool with low opacity to get the dark effect around the sides.

Poster tweaked.

Possible idea for teaser poster or main campaign.

Mock Up Images for Teaser Poster

For this image I used the lasso tool to crop out the body and face and used them as a seperate layer in order to make her face look brighter. I used the curve tool to make the face look really bright. I widened her mouth to make it look like she is really screaming by using the buldge tool. On the other layer I played with the brightness to make the background look darker. I then used the brush tool to create the white dirt effect around the sides.

For this image I used the free distort filter to create the illution that she is being seen through the eye of someone else. This is effective to the audience because it looks like she is afraid of them, or something behind them. I brightened her face and bulged her mouth slightly too.

To make this image look dark I exaaggerated the curve tool until the background was black. I then adjusted the brightness to make the image look mysterious.

I edited this image by making it very bright. I used the glamour glow filter to make him appear as a ghost.

I used the image of the boys face and pulled the brightness down to make him look sinister. I removed his freckles with the blemish tool as they made him appear cute and innocent.

I added the typography, date and credits to this image and made the face smaller. I also used the curves and color tool to get better lighting.

Teaser mock up tweaked.

To get this image I played around with the contrast and brightness. I made the image look greener using the curve tool. I whitened his eyes by using the brush tool at a very small size to create a creepy look.

Here I used the glamour glow filter on the face of the boy so it looks less like a photo.                                                                                                                                                      

Tagline Design

For my tagline I decided to have it all in white to stand out and to match my theme. I used the 'American Typewriter' font and enlarged the two most important letters. The use of the word 'you' gives the tagline a directive.
