For the Poster we unanimously decided to create our own drafts, and after some discussion on what worked, what didn't and what we still wanted to see in the poster, I (Ben) would create the poster. This was decided because while Stephen and Nigel have recently been introduced to photoshop, I began learning 5 years ago in Secondary School. I have uploaded each poster to my personal Flickr account and will provide a link to download if desired. I have chosen to submit both because I am unsure which adheres to mark scheme more.
The First poster follows my third draft with the Eve/Lucy reflection. The title has been moved across the entire length of the poster, so as not to obstruct the subject of the poster, Katy. The cracks in the title were kept to signify the broken state of Eve and how Lucy is a splinter or chip from Eve. Bar two exceptions, everything is justified with a 0.5cm border around the edge. While this was my personal idea and I like the results, it is not my favourite as it is somewhat sparse. The different facial expression in the reflection is also not as clear as I'd like, making it seem odd when viewed for the first time instead of clear. This can be used as an advantage, reflecting the odd themes of our film, but that may need a professional graphic designer to pull it off.
The second poster follows my second draft and is my favourite of the two, having been made after I saw the problems with the first poster. This portrait design is, as I found, able to hold what we wanted in the poster much better than the landscape. Having taken two different images I was also not restricted in what to do with them, having resized both to be averagely the same size on the face. Despite not being photographed with a mirror, this still reflects the split personality of Eve and Lucy by splitting Katy's face in half. Moving the half faces to the edges of the poster provides a nice channel down the centre of the poster which I used to justify a lot of the text in the poster. Lucy's picture on the left was chosen out of the photoshoot because of the smirk and the hair partially covering the eye, reflecting the hidden and wicked nature of the character. The title is the exact same used in the previous poster, only adjusted to fit the poster at its largest size. The actor's names, justified in the centre, are more detailed than the first poster. Where many of the texts were simply copied over for speed, this poster presented more opportunities. Katy's name is the largest as she is the main actress, while Stephen's and Nigel's names are smaller for their smaller roles in the film. This highlights Katy's name but also showcases Nigel and Stephen as actors in the film.
