Poster

For this poster I wanted to capture John Mayer in all his different styles of music. I found four pictures that seemed to demonstrate the many sides of him and used photoshop to blend them all together. I was able to use what I learned from the previous project to make this poster. I used the layer tools and I played around with the hue/saturation tool to make the pictures less bright so that the text would still stick out and catch the audience's attention.

I started off with a semi boring poster that I made with the basics from quark express. I had a regular pink background and two pictures of john mayer and blue text. I was not proud of the first one because it was so basic and I felt didn't catch the attention of the audience I would want to take notice. I decided to add the yellow star with the message "free for students" because I thought it would catch students attention especially because John Mayer tends to appeal to a younger crowd.

I had trouble with using quark express a lot in the beginning of this project. I had never used it before and I wasn't sure how many effects I could do to make my poster look really unique. I decided to use photoshop for the background and that made all the difference.

I am most proud of the background I made on photoshop. I feel that my final draft is significantly different from the first few drafts I made in the beginning of the project. This shows the amount of work and metamorphous the poster went through before it got where it is now.
