This poster was created using a programme called Photoshop. A variety of  tools came into use when producing this imaginative peice of art such as the lasso to (to highlight selective parts of foreground), the select tool, the magic wand(to inteligently important parts) , the free-transform image, the paintbrush, the text tool, the refine edges and the colour edit. The idea of the poster is to advertise a movie called Poker Face which rather self-explanatorily is an idea for a movie about gambling.As you can see by the expressions of the actors on the left it shows how this movie is old style gangster movie which involves high stakes; the poster depicts four characters playing poker and one player's hand and a set of poker chips. There is a mark of quality at the top as it says the producer's names. There is also a cast list at the bottom as well as pictures of the main actors.


The poster recieved generally positive reviews from my audience. The poster's professional look is what earned most the good feedback from peers and teachers. Many commented on the contrast in colours and the small details such as the poker chips with the actors names worked well and the 1st person view on the poker hand helps include the audience whilst they look to help them feel part of the picture.

If i had a chance to do this task again i would have re-shot the photo as two of my actors seem too conscious that this is fiction and are starring at the camera. I would also use fewer cards and use a higher hand to give the poster more realism.
