“Superhero” Style Poster

project: “Superhero” Style Poster
Client /Prof: New Student Services
completion status: Started May 3rd 2022
staff guidance: Valerie
STA team members: N/A
description/plans: Use a superhero poster of black widow and seamlessly blend the OA’s face in as the main character in photoshop. Also, include past UT Alumni and Bevo in the background.
To be completed: May 4th 2022

Progress

This was a fun project to complete. At the beginning of the project, my main focus was finding famous UT Alumni that fit the angles for these posters. Next, I needed to add in the main OA, and Bevo. These were really simple to implement and I had to do some color balance to give off the red hue in the original poster. Lastly, I focused on adding in the title and subtitle. I wanted the effect on the text to match the original poster so I bent the font and erased some of the texture to create the design.

 

Poster with Famous UT Alumni:

Kevin Durant, Janis Joplin, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Renée Zellweger.

Final Design:

After this poster was uploaded, it was later realized that the titles of two posters were switched. Therefore, I was in charge of changing the titles and subtitles for both the superhero and horror movie posters.

“Silent Film” Style Poster

project: “Silent Film” Style Poster
Client /Prof: New Student Services
completion status: Started May 3rd 2022

STA team members: N/A
description/plans: Use two silent film show posters, combine different assets from each and seamlessly blend the OA’s faces in as the characters in photoshop.
To be completed: May 4th 2022

Progress

This poster was a little more challenging because the poster was a sepia color with an older texture. I wanted to be able to add in the OA’s to create a realistic poster design. In addition, I needed to add in another “alien head” and three circles to make room for all five OAs.

Planning Process:

  1. Re-arrange the overall layout of the poster.
  2. Add in the the main two OA’s faces. Color match and blend into the environment.
  3. Add in the UT Tower in the background.
  4. Add the remaining OA’s into the scene and color match.
  5. Cut and format the text to say “freedom”

“Sitcom” Style Poster

project: “Sitcom” Style Poster
Client /Prof: New Student Services
completion status: Started May 3rd 2022

STA team members: N/A
description/plans: Use a sitcom show poster and seamlessly blend the OA’s face in as the main character in photoshop.
To be completed: May 4th 2022

Progress

For this project, I decided to use the office as the sitcom. Based on the images provided of the OA, it was best to use the image with them facing forward to match the composition.

In addition, I adding a slight grain to the image better match the quality of the background actors in the poster.

 

New Skills Learned:

  • Using the Spot Healing Brush Tool – It was nice to make things disappear

Upon some edits from Mike, I was asked to remove one of the actors from the background and rearrange some of the titles.

Afterwards, I passed this project over to Rachel to complete the Final edits so that I could work on completing the silent film and superhero movie posters.
