Creating Poster

In order to promote my star 'Esthxr' I created a poster. 

 I had originally planned to have a long shot of Esther on the poster, therefore I started by removing the background. However, the more I edited the more I didn't like the idea. It soon became apparent that there wouldn't be any shadows where Esther was leaning against the wall. This looked false and wrong. 
At the point, I did consider creating shadows in photoshop but I eventually decided against this.

I then copied in the same font I used on the CD cover, on to my poster. I removed the white areas, and replaced the black areas with the same graffitti background as on the CD cover. However, the writing was hard to read and was too busy. Therefore I changed the black area to white, which was much more aesthetically pleasing and suitable. 

I then copied in a twitter, Facebook and Instagram logo. I re-sized them so they were all the same size. I then removed the backgrounds in the images, and removed all colour to make the symbols white.
I think the simplicity works really well, and looks quite professional. 

I then copied in the front cover, and rearranged the typography. As you can see, I removed 'Esthxr' and put 'Feline' and 'Out now' on a slant. The wonky writing is fun, and is consistent with the rough and messy style of products I have produced so far. 

Final Poster

Before editing, I adjusted the canvas size to 42cm by 29.7cm, which is the dimensions of an A3 piece of paper. I think A3 posters are more eye-catching, and can be scaled down to A4 if needed.

I like how the the style of font is consistent throughout my products. I also the white font against the blue background.
