This photo of the graffiti wall contains many colours and so I wanted to decrease the saturation of the image to make it less

colourful and to connote the grim reality of the issues presented in the production.

I also blurred the images using lens blur as the image would be in the background. Blurring the image allows the images I place in the

foreground to stand out more.

Typically, blemishes and unwanted marks on a photo of a person are removed in order to make the poster look more

appealing and attractive to the audience. Therefore, I decided to remove the facial marks on the actor’s face in order to

make him look more appealing on the poster.

I did this using the spot healing brush tool and went over areas which needed removing.

I repeated the process on another actor’s face as they will be the in the centre of the anchorage and will most likely be the first character the audience sees. Therefore, this character

needed to be the most attractive to the audience.

After cutting out the background of the image and removing the blemishes, I noticed that the edges

of the image we sharp. To fix this, I used the feather tool. I selected the subject of the photo,

went to select, modify and then feather. I changed the radius of the feathering to five so it made a

subtle change to the edge of the image.

The feathering would only apply if I copied the layer and placed it again,

deleting the layer that did not have the feathering. The pasted image was the same scale as the one before and so I

had no issues with the image having to be re-sized again.

I placed the background image into InDesign. The white space below the image will be covered with the foreground images and so it is not necessary

for me to scale the image to fit the entirety of the page.

If I did scale the image, I could stretch it too much when forcing it fit on the page and so this would

decrease the quality of the image.

When importing into InDesign from Photoshop, the images are

of less quality. To fix this, I changed the display performance

to high quality display. This change in quality is a slight

difference, but does make the image clearer to the audience.

When I placed the image of the character David in InDesign, it was too big. I selected the image and scaled it to a smaller size so I was able to

place the image on the page appropriately and to the initial draft for the poster.

The blue box surrounding the image represents the space in which the image can move. I had to keep this

box tight to the image so it would be easier for me to move the image

around in InDesign without accidently selecting another image

and moving it instead.
