Final Brut Poster Idea

I chose to use this poster because I feel its simplicity creates comedy and this is what I was hoping to achieve. Its easy to understand because its all visual.
To make the poster I used photoshop. The man, and boxes were made in photoshop using the shape tools and fill in selected with "strokes" which means it gives the selected layer a outline.
The text I got off  fonts.com-  http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?productid=174096
The brut logo I photographed myself with a Brut aftershave box, then I cut it out and set it to colour dodge to blend the greens,greys and blacks with the bright green background and it left the highlights making them contrast and stand out.

The background is a stock image from "Advanced photoshop" magazine CD. I liked with background because of the texture and colour, its simple so it doesn't drag attetion away from the image and text.

Ideas for posters








These are just rough ideas for posters. I'm going to ask for feedback of them and work on the favorites. If there is one clear favorite then I will pick that to work on for my final poster idea.
The ideas for the posters were inspired by the slogans. Some are ruder, cruder and not as refined ideas as others but thats the point of roughs I feel. I chose to keep with the brut colours, green, white and black. I did this because I want it to be apart of the message, hopeful people will look at the simple design and connect brut with green, so when they go shopping its stuck in their mind.
I used images from google images but when it comes to do the real thing I will make all images by scratch, using photoshop and the many tool it possesses to create the images. I will also use free stock images from deaviant art and I will keep inside the terms and conditions.

Task update

Week 4
After the 2D presentation we started to look how websites can look the part but are they correct. We had to look at a selection of websites and put the websites in order of legitimately. This was a great insight in how a fancy website layout can change the minds first inpression. This helped me understand to read first what text says before believing it. 
We also had a breif introduction to photoshop and the major task breif.

Week 5
A health and safety and risk assement talk. We look in to the definition of words and how they effect a risk assement when uses wrong. We saw how health and safety is important and why we use it.This helped me understand health and saftey more and how to do risk assments properly.

Week7
We had to create a powerpoint presentation and to use hyperlinks to link the pages together so you can get from one page to another without going through all over them.

Week 8,9,10
As a group of six we had to plan a five minute long silent film. Each shot had to be played due to the camera using tape (we it was hard to re-do scene do to rewind) and we weren't aloud to use post preduction.
We chose to go with a simple script about a man who goes out to buy milk, but he has no money to he steals it. On leaving the shop a theif steal his milk and chases after him, after the chase scene he gets the milk back and heads home but finds himself on the wrong side of the flats. As he hold the milk up to show victory he drops it over the balkany and it explodes.
Filming went smooth, the only problems we had was that we could stop the fade out between scene so we had to ask the technician and the shop was very busy so we had to use the corner of the shop.
On watching the film on the big scene we saw that most of the film was out of focus and some scenes were way too dark.
I learnt that pre-production is very important to do so you get a nice smooth shooting of the scenes and also you save alot of time. Also to check lighting before shooting and to test the camera out before final shooting.
