HORROR POSTER FINAL

this is the final poster for devil's orphan. Whilst doing the poster and magazine cover I'v learned many new photoshop skills for instance how to make things look dilapidated and worn such as the text which started as basic Times font which I made look stained by building up opaque layers brush strokes and using the burn tool and textured eraser brushes to make it look scratched. I also used scratched textures for the background to shine through and created the vignette lens effect with the burn tool the cross is one i found on the internet and photoshoped it in  as we didn't have the prop I made before i think it works better having a more ornamental cross for the poster.
i used the burn tool to ad more of a sepia like shadow on my hand and air brushed the highlights on the hat.
the idea for the tagline came to me while making the poster I think it suits the whole concept of or film it has a threatening element to the statement that also ties into the religious themes, so it works on a few levels.
the credits were originally written in 'helvetica' but it just didn't look right i found the actual font used professionally 'steel tongs' which gave it the right look so it doesn't stand out.

the comany logo for 'evolution productions' was created for this poster i had the idea before and looks good when executed.

 this is the original image that was manipulated as you can see we used a stand in cross the poster is slightly off balance because i held the cross to the left slightly.
