Poster design- in the making

For my poster I decided to make one which advertises the band at a live venue. This would involve using a screenshot/photo from my video and putting it on the poster, as a way of showing the band performing live (such as the ACDC poster I anaylsed).



Firstly, I created an A4 sheet on Photoshop and gave it a completly black background. I then added the text at the bottom 'Lime Shark- Live at the Engine Shed Lincoln'. This text acts as very simple information to the audience so that they can see that the band will be performing at their local venue soon, and so can find out more at the Engine Shed.





















Now for the main image, I got these screenshots from my video and have to decide which one I will use. It was the choice between a longshot of the entire band or a low-angle close-up of the lead singer and guitarist. Once again I have taken inspiration from the ACDC poster and used the bottom image, which shows Tony singing with the bright green light in the background, among the looking space after Tony's body. It was difficult to choose between this and the one showing Tony pointing, but I wanted the green light since I thought this would be most effective as it effectivly fills the empty space on the page. I also like how the brightness of the light makes it into a diamod shape, with light going to the top and bottom of the screen.

Once I had chosen the image, it was simply a matter of pasting it onto my A4 page and scaling it so it fitted properly.
