Image one wasn't changed it was kept under the same colours and opacity however it was a black and white photo meaning I needed to make my photo black and white so I will need to edit the original photo.
Image two - here is the blending options I used for this image. With layer two I changed the colour opacity and added a purple overlay this gives it the purple colour which matches the title and theme of the cover however mixed with the other changes gives it a cool effect to add to the blurred and double vision look.
image three- here is the blending options I used for this image
Here is my first attempt with my own photography and looking at the image there needs to be some changes. The purple doesn't stand out beer well in the title because of the size of the image meaning I either need to make it smaller or use a different purple. The bottom one as it is blurred may need changing so it doesn't over lap with the blur and look of the photography. However I am pleased with what I have started other than the small changes I need to make.
- Photo size
- Font colour
- edges of the photography need to be smoothed
- finish the credit bar at the bottom
Here are some trails I have made since the first try.
After looking at what I was doing I realised the I liked the effect of the second trial however I wasn't happy with how the photography looked now I had edited and changed the shape . I decided the solution to tis was to get rid of the image and then start from the beginning sorting the edges at the start and changing the colours then fining how I want them. from this I also realise that I need to the purple the to be on the clothes or it isn't visible ( at the bottom ) and that the title also needs some editing as there is still some white on the back text. The fact I like has four layer however the photography seems a bit squished where as trial 3 doesn't. So I am going to spend some extra time to achieve the perfect look with the original photo.
This is what I have come to now after some more editing and making the photo new. Using modify and boarder tools I blended the sides better however it isn't as blurry as I would have liked it to be so I shall move it. I like this cover and now all i am going to do is add to the credit bar and change where they over lap to come with a better effect.
The model looks into the camera and remains emotionless and the other layers of her are meant to resemble her mental conflict and other faces and personality. As you can tell from the name. it follows conventions well. It is simplistic and however holds a big message and some unanswered questions. The dark colours link to the under lying darker theme and how she is in the centre of the light suggests she does have good inside her. Like the background is the good fighting the darkness.
This is the draft with improvements , I have changed the black writing so in the middle so that you can't see white aspects to it, I added to the credit block and although this is pretty much the final draft I will tweet the positioning to make sure it is centred and lined up with an equal distance on either side. I also blended the shoulder better so that it matches the background more such as she coming out from the background. it also removes sharp edges.
The Poster is meant to have a dizzy effect as i used three layers of the same image, i used this to put emphasis on her different kinds of personality which you get a glimpse of in the trailer. The actress is also wearing make up which she doesn't do to much of in the trailer. As were introduced to her we don't see much of her face plus when we see her breaking down she has some make up on her face. This make up is meant to show her covering up her true self and create a new face such as such. That is the characters aim. She believes if she becomes someone else then she can get rid of all her problems and be someone else.
As mentioned I picked purple as the colour for its connotations of mystery, as the genre has this element its not meant to be clear what she suffers from or what she's doing, as the audience can drive to find out about that.
