Development of poster.

This is my first photograph that I had taken. I wasn't bothered about background as I was going to cut this out. My main focus was on the banner so I held that out, making sure my fingers didn't cover the lettering.

This is my first final poster. I wanted this one to just be simple and dark. With only sections showing of the photograph.

Here is my photograph I am going to be using for my mugshot poster.I took it myself and created the police banner in photoshop and printed in onto card.

This was my first development of my poster, I wasn't too pleased with the overall look of it, I was going for more of a grungy look. Also one of the main elements of the poster is the police banner, and it doesn't really stand out enough for my liking, and some of the text is covered by the hand. Also I want to make it look more realistic.

I found this poster on DeviantArt and it is the exact look I was going for. The grungyness of the background image and the cleanness of the banner, with the extruded text ad metallic look. This is definitely the way I am going to be going with my own piece.

This was my second development of the police banner. I created this is cinema4D to get the 3d text and lighting on it. I am still not fully satisfied with this one.

I tried out the banner with my photo. I still wasn't fully pleased with the outcome so I think I will make some adjustments to the photograph and the banner.

I then developed it further and created this. This is a lot more what I was looking for. I like the grungyness of the metal, and the shadow on the extruded elements creates a more realistic look.

I added the new banner and I think it is a vast improvement. Still need some adjustments on the photo.

I took the blur off the the photo and it looks much better. More gritty and grungy, the look I was going for. I am definately close to my final now. I may experiment with the background.

Here is my final. I am pleased with the final outcome now. it has the grittyness I was looking for, the banner looks realistic. And the message is clear. This will be A2 sized and presented on the wall next to my animation projection.
