“3 STAR DESIGN ASSIGNMENT #2 ” “DS106 THE MOVIE”

Posted by

For this Design Assignment I had to take the poster of a original movie, and change it to depict a movie about my design class “DS106″.This was very fun for me because I got a chance to mess around with numerous amounts of tools from the website which I used to complete this assignment called Picnik.com. For my movie poster I chose the movie “Transformers”, I chose transformers because it is one of my favorite movies and I think the graphics and animation used in this movie are amazing. Now.. getting to the poster I created, well I chose to make it look exactly like the Original poster….but with a little twist. I used the shine-away tool on Picnik.com to eliminate the text that said “Their World.Our World.” from the original Transformers poster. Next I replaced it with the same format, just with words relative to DS106 which says, “Their Class.Our Designs.” After that I used the contrast and brightening effect tool to lighten up the poster since the original was to dark and I wanted my texts and the characters to show and blend in more. Next, I used the text tool to write the text, “DS106″ and I used the fonts from Picnik.com, to choose the fonts. However, I had to choose light colors for my movie poster since the background was very dark and if I wanted my text to be legible I had to make the texts lighter, so I chose light blue since it is my overall favorite color. In order for me to eliminate the Transformers title I once again used the shine-away tool and it disappeared. Finally, I used the contrast effect tool once more to make the poster look more blended and even-toned. This assignment took me about 30 minutes to complete I would say, but I enjoyed doing it:)!!!
