Poster

Pictured above is my final poster for the preliminary task. I created it in Microsoft Publisher 2010, only using Paint to edit the silouhette of a man. The original image of the hills was taken as a simple scenic shot of the countryside which I then edited on Publisher to make it much darker and with a blue colouring. This was done by changing the brightness and contrast of the piece as well as fully recolouring it. I then added a simple white filled circle to appear as the moon therefore chnaging the time of day from the original image to make it more eerie and mysterious. I kept the text white to make it stand out keeping the colours minimal like in the original poster fro Paths of Glory. I made the text simple and easy to read and for the text at the very bottom I used a common font used in several posters. The barbed wire image was taken from ClipArt which I rotated and linked to make it appear like on stretch of barbed wire, something relating to war.
