poster

Based on the photographs and ideas I had in my head, I chose to do a mock band poster and a propaganda poster. 

Layers became a very critical part of this project for me, mainly because I needed to be able to view various images against one another to see if they would work well enough together for the composition.  I also used the posterise adjustment layer on both posters to limit the colors on the photographs I used.

One technique I attempted to employ to catch peoples eye was the use of red and yellow (bright colors) in contrast to dark colors.   Just to make it interesting, I decided to write my band poster in Russian, although I know nothing of the language and culture.
