First draft of review page

Our first draft of our review page (click image to view full screen)


(click image to enlarge)


How it was made:

  • Created a new file in photoshop, keeping the file size to what the review would be puiblished in, A4
  • An image from our film was placed on our new file as our header image, specifically chosen to depict the film title.
  • Chose a lighter colour from the image using the eye dropper tool. With this new colour we used the shape tool to create a rectangle for the header background.
  • Text colour was chosen using eye dropper and selecting a darker colour taken from the image, choosing colours from the image enabled us to connect the elements of our poster.
  • We repeated these steps for the information boxes in the middle of the page, making the text box darker and the text lighter.
  • At the bottom of the page we placed a strip of shots from our film, downsized to 90% less than there original size to fit the width of the page. Giving the effect of a film reel.
  • We added text at the very top of the image in a light colour, to tell small details - issue number and date.
Before adding these images to the poster, there were previously edited.
  • We duplicated the original layer
  • Changed the levels of the image
  • Changed the hue/saturation
  • Changed the hue/saturation of image again
  • Used the curves tool
  • Added a colour filter
  • Changed the colours on the channel mixer
  • Finally we altered the brightness and contrast
