Poster Draft 1

Here, you can see the progress of my final design and how everything is beginning to look professional around the illustration of my knife. I have firstly put two pieces of text on top of the 'WHITE LIES' title and then have added the additional cast information below it. I decided to lay the text out like this so I could begin to fill the un-nessary space left on my poster. Even though I want my poster to look minimalistic in its design and show a modern design type by showing more space on the page compared to older designs of film posters, I want to make sure I keep the space whilst making it look professional at the same time. As you can see I laid the text out showing the cast members at an angle. I did this because I wanted to add another stylistic element to the poster, and I felt using the text to follow the shape of the knife did this very well. I also like the colour of the text, I believe the beige-browny colour of text stands-out very effectively. The mixture of colours on the page, from the red of the title, the white of the knife and the beige-browny colour of the text really stands-out in front of the back background. The next step to finishing my film poster will be too add the film credits at the bottom of the page to relate my poster to real media posters, which will give it more of a professional feel.
