Poster and DVD cover

After photographing the puppets in better lighting conditions I took some into photo shop and alterted them to create a design for a poster. I did several examples to try out different ways of how it would look such as a photography version as well as a drawing the puppets as well. Used just layers e and the selection took with copy and paste to put it together and make it look like the standard images for children's kids shows or kids DVD covers.

I also took the time to write all the text by hand to give it a more creative cartoon looking effect as well as keeping with the theme since the puppets are hand made and keeping with that for the design for font. I also drew the puppets incase it came useful and also all the decided titles of each 'episode' of the conversations.

This ended up being the final template for the design for the poster I did a couple with the way the text was positioned but ended up liking the first below more as the finished one with also Mark's input. The photograph version ended up turning out better than in comparison with the drawing one. With some tidying up from the eraser, contrast, highlight tool and using the fill bucket was able to colour them in.

Our assessment space wall ended up being a dark blue colour and so I made several  different coloured versions of the poster template to choose from. We ended up liking the blue and red the most but choose red because our wall was blue and the blue one didn't stand out as well but we choose blue for the dvd cover.

This was the final choice and we got it printed to A2 size after some test prints of smaller ones.

I then took the template and used the standard DVD cover measurements to create a simple cover that explained and showed briefly what it would include. We wanted to go as far to create special features for the dvd with bloopers and making of but because of time we will add this on after assessment.

This ended up becoming the final DVD cover with a small blurb and some screen shots and got it printed.

We will have a tv to play our film on loop as part of our assessment space with the dvd as well as a sketchbook, poster and of course our puppets on display.

Heres us having a chat of the over all look and about the final film having intros.
