Creating our poster

Due to group members being absent we have been unable to fully complete our poster, this is because we have not had the pictures needed. Instead we have print screened the clown mask from the internet, in photoshop I then cut the head of the clown out and copied into Adobe Illustrator, within this I was able to make the background around the mask black. I then brought the picture back forward so it was just the head placed on a black background. I then used a sketch affect, this made the clown mask black and white and looked slightly blurry. I have also filled in the eyes with red, this makes the clown look more scary and fits in with the way it looks in the teaser trailer.
Our poster is not yet finished as the font we are using, 'circus ornate' does not let the file save, therefore we need to download the font again so it works in Adobe Illustrator.

We have now completed our poster using an image of the clown mask. We placed the image in photoshop and used the magic eraser to erase the surrounding background, then we used the magnetic lasso to select the clowns head. To increase the scariness of the clown we filled the lips in black and also made the eyes and nose red, by making the eyes red this makes the clown stand out. We also blurred the edges of the image which made it blend better with the black background. The font we have used for the tag line matches the font used in the teaser trailer which is circus ornate, we downloaded this from the website dafont.com.
Here is the finished item:
