165 Days Poster Design
Here is the Step - By - Step Guide on how i created the poster for 165 days
Step 1:
I began with taking this photo, i chose this pose as it is usually seen being used by people that are struggling mentally and that is what i am trying to show.
I set the camera up to be looking down on me instead of being level as a way to show that my person is feeling "Down"
Step 2:
Next, i put the photo into Adobe Photoshop and carefully removed the background to only contain the photo of me.
I used the selection tool to carefully outline my person to make sure that i cover the entire background to be removed.
i then hit the delete button on my keyboard to remove the background and this is the result
Step 3:
After i had carefully removed my background, i selected a photo of a rainy window and positioned it behind my person to act as a base layer of a background
I chose rain as it connotes sadness and that is the tone that i am going for.
Step 4:
After adding the rainy background, I selected an image of a plain window.
Using the cutting tool on Adobe Photoshop, i carefully removed each of the insides of the windowpanes slowly.
This was to create the image as if i was sitting on a windowsill and it was raining outside.
Step 5: Adding the Title.
<<<--- Press the arrow to see each part get added.
To add the title, i used a website*, to create a font that I believed fit the theme the best.
After i had the Title created in said font, i slowly cut out each number/letter 1-by-1 using the cutting tool on Adobe Photoshop.
One each letter was singulated, I added them to the photo one by one in each of the window panes.
I did this as a way to isolate each letter as my person is isolated during the film.
Final Poster + Evaluation
This is the finished poster for 165 Days.
I positioned my person in a way that is commonly used by mental health charities such as Samaritans or CALM would to demonstrate how people are going through problems
