    The document describes the process of designing a film poster for a teen coming-of-age film about mental health. Stock images of smoke were used and blended together to create a background symbolizing the main character's volatile mental state. Original photos were cut out and placed on the poster, then given drop shadows for realism. A title was made to stand out using gradient overlay. Credits and release date were added, and the tagline was enhanced with outer glow effect. The final poster aims to represent the film's focus on the main character's mental illness and its impact on his life.

    Film Poster Draft

    • I am aiming to make a Teen Coming of Age


    film poster with the topic centering mental
    health, seen in my short film. I already started
    with centering mental health in my poster by
    using found images of smoke from the Internet. I
    duplicated both of these found images and tried
    to fill the whole background with it, but they
    were slightly two different colours of the smoke
    because their two different images. So, I went to
    the blending options and used the magic tool
    eraser to add blend the two colour together, as
    well as filling in the gaps that the duplicates did
    not fill in the background. These tools gave the
    background the long outcome I was looking for,
    as it symbolised the conflict inside his head and
    how volatile his mind is by the tools giving the
    smoke a 3D effect.
    Composite
    On all three of my original photos, I
    used lasso tool and quick selected them
    out of their original backgrounds and
    deposited them on my film poster draft.
    I then used the eraser tool to erase the
    side character's heads, except for the
    main character, to exhibit his mental
    health.
    Blending
    I saw that my original photos, applied on my
    poster background, looked like an obvious
    cut out, and not suited. I went to the
    blending options on all three and chose the
    drop shadow effect, this gives the poster a
    realistic, professional look to the poster,
    perfect for a film advertisement.
    Title Design
    I duplicated my title layer "The Thought"
    and linked the two layers together and went
    to blending options and selected gradient
    overlay. Once I was on the effect, I colour
    graded my duplicate layer and made it white.
    Then I overlapped the two titles together,
    this gave the title a Teen Coming of Age vibe,
    the effect also made the title eye-catching.
    Tagline/Credits/Date
    I added credits to my film poster below the
    key image, because Warner Bros and
    Universal are behind the makings of my film,
    I added their logos at the bottom of my
    poster, on each corner. I noticed that the
    color of the company logos did not match
    the colour scheme and vibe of the poster, I
    colour filled them both grey. Furthermore, I
    added my release date at the bottom of my
    credits, I used Ctrl+T to enlarge the date so
    that the audience can see when the film is
    coming out.
    Finally, I made my tagline and placed it just
    below the title, I then colour filled the tagline
    and make it white. The tagline being white
    still did not make it pop out or add to the
    murky Teen vibe, so I went to blending
    options and selected the outer glow effect.
    This effect enhanced the Teen drama mystery
    and created appeal for the audience.
    Official Film Poster
    As we can see by the end of this process,
    photo drafts were removed and replaced by
    my original images taken; I pieced the photos
    by using the drop shadow effect. Afterwards,
    I used gradient overlay to piece the two titles
    together to create 3D effect, as well as outer
    glow on my tagline. Overall, I believe I was
    able to achieve the desired outcome using
    photoshop tools I used, as I mentioned
    before I aimed to make a Teen Coming of Age
    film poster that had a sub-genre that
    centered around mental health. I centered
    my film poster around mental health by using
    the eraser tool to erase his friend's heads,
    along with using smoke to reflect the main
    character's mental illness, foreboding how it
    causes a strain in his school life and friends.
