Processes for Final Piece

For creating my final poster, I had to alter a lot of the images I added as their were things wrong or out of place with a few of them.
For example, in the below image, I took an image of a celery stick to use for my figure 4. I had to duplicate it, rotate it, and round the ends to make it look more realistic and to have my ending number. My main aim for all the numbers is for them to be clear and unambiguous, so it seems more professional and well thought-out.

Again, for the figure ten I had to make the bacon more realistic and have the definition there so that people knew what it represented. My original image of bacon was quite small and discoloured so I had to saturate it and rescale it to give it the right proportion compared to the egg. I also had an issue when creating the egg as my original image did not have a lot of white and so it did not look like a stereotypical egg like what I was aiming for. To remedy this I copied and pasted sections of the existing white to give it a more circular shape, then rounded it to give it the '0' shape I desired.

I edited every image that I used, even though they were my own photographs to begin with. Mostly I just replicated them, such as the grapes for number 7, the teabags for the 12, and the cherry tomatoes for half the nine. For the five, I used a similar method but instead of just creating the base number I thickened them out, and made two layers of the number five and placed them next to each other to give a thicker outline to make the number clearer. I'm generally pleased with the outcome of my poster so far, and I have found that my plan and drafts helped a lot when choosing which foods to use etc.
I didn't change much at all with my 'BANES' poster, as I just took the images and used them as they were, with the exception of the tree which is not my own image. Also I slightly altered the 'S' and the 'A' which I'll go into detail about later. The image displays my image before altering these two letters. I was pleased with both outcomes as they are also very accurate compared to my drafts.

  1. You have experimented with lots of techniques and processes. Your knowledge of Photoshop is good and this should result in a professional poster campaign.
