Poster Design #3/3

Lego Ad Campaign by Blattner Brunner | TrendLand: Fashion Blog & Trend Magazine
The blue background and the red lego provides a nice contrast it adds more emphasis on the red lego blocks. The choices of color are good  as again it grabs your attention and adds significance to the lego blocks and the air plane shadow. the use of space is good as the shadow is on the lower half of the poster while the blocks to make a plane are on the upper half, it adds depth this way.

LETTERSTREAM — LetterCult
This poster use's most of the space provided and the use of positive (white) and negative (black) space is really nice. since  the poster is just black and white they provided one of the bests contrasts as they're strikingly different. The way it just leads your eye down in a line is a good part of typography.

LOVE J
This poster use's the shady green to make the white stand out more, the shady green contrasts the bright white. Its also uses most of the space on the poster  as it leads your eyes zig-zaging down the poster.

non-3D postcard *alibaba-kun*

(a)
       i chose JPG because JPG is far better for photographs. It gives better quality images for the same file size.

(b)
Q#1.I chose a fiery field with a scorched sky, a new erupted volcano spewing lava into the heavens and lastly an anime character named Alibaba Saluja with the fiery field and erupting volcano these two complemented his fiery element.

Q#2. My background size in in pixels is 1200 by 1800. The size is important because if it was too small then we'd have to stretch it which would make the image blurry.

Q#3. when i was creating this combination of images i was thinking "what would look cool?" and "what do i currently want to see" so i took one of my favorite character and used images associated with heat to complement his power to control an element (fire)

Q#4. The procedure I used was #1 open up Photoshop and create a new window that's 4 by 6 inches like a traditional postcard,#2 used browse an bridge and drag the background I want into the new window,#3 drag another photo into the window then use quick selection tool to mask the part I wanted (the volcano),#4 added words onto the postcard that make it stand out,#5 added effects (clone tool) around the words to catch your eyes,#6 opened and dragged a new photo( the character) then used quick selection tool to carefully  trace around the character and mask the parts i wanted,#7 used the brush tool to add black butterfly like effects around my character.8# i refined both pictures that i masked using feather/density.
