event poster assignment

For this assignment I have been commissioned to create a poster to advertise a forthcoming 'event' of my choice. This could be an art exhibition, a music concert, a theatre show, a club night. i must include an original piece of photography as the basis for my poster. 


I have chosen to do a event poster for Bonfire night. cause I have been to a bonfire night and taken pictures for this assignment.


I started doing my research by looking at event posters on the internet to give me ideas.





week 1 - poster idea's
idea's which are going to be on my poster.
  • pictures 
  • date - 5th november 
  • time - 5.30pm - 10.30pm
  • bonfire fair - prices for rides
  • title - Bonfire Night  
  • bonfire fair information - prices for rides
  • entry prices -  FREE!!!!!
week 2 -logos








this week i searched for logos of companies for fireworks.

i searched this because like fireworks and bonfire night with fireworks so i looked for   logos for fireworks














week 3 - images


this week i took the pictures into collage and uploaded them on the computer, these are some of the pictures that i have taken,





























week 4 - poster


this week we started making our poster by putting images that we have taken outside of collage and uploaded them on to the computer. this week i also chose what picture i would have for my back ground and the writing the information on the poster.


 this is what photo shop looks like with one of my poster layouts on.


this is one of the poster layout layers, it shows all the layers that are on that poster


background - this is the background i chose for my poster because it has a lot of space round the main picture and it is a clear image of the firework and it is easy to see what it is. It also makes it easier to put other pictures onto it and text.




















Week 5 - poster layout


once i got all my pictures and text on the poster i put the pictures and text in different places until i got the layout i wanted.





 
i don't like this one as much as the others because the writing if going over the picture and the writing has a white out line as well as the picture has a white outline so the writing is hard to see because of the white outline to make it stand out.










this is the design i chose to use because there is no writing going over the pictures and the picture layout is more interesting then just how they came out from the camera .










i don't like this one because the pictures and the text are covering the main picture which is a firework so its not as good.








for this assessment i went on to photoshop after uploading the photos I had taken at a firework display when i went with my friend. I did it by editing my photos on photoshop. I was happy about the layout of my poster and how the photos came out during the event because the photos came out clear and I could use most of the photos i toke and the the layout of my poster i am happy with because it shows everything and doesn't cover up lots of the main background image. If I did this project again i would do a different event which I could get to and take more photos with a camera and not getting them off the internet that someone else has taken this just makes my poster better.
