Poster Development

To achieve the desired feel to reflect the theme of our radio drama, I had to go through several steps to make it look right. The first thing I did was edit a picture of a wall using Adobe Photoshop to make it look more grey and reflect the mood of the drama.

I did this by desaturating the image to take out a lot of colour and by using the Levels Tool in Photoshop:

On this wall I wanted to have the name of the drama, Under the Mushroom Cloud, spray painted like graffiti. To do this, first I used Photoshop's Pen Tool to draw graffiti-looking words spelling the name of our drama.

Then, I skewed the words to the correct perspective of the wall:

Then, I changed the colour to red, blended it into the wall and added some drip marks to make it look more authentic, then repeated this for the other words on the poster.
