Movie Poster

This is my final trailer poster where I have placed my images of my actresses 

My main strength in this poster is the gradient blend I have created to blend the main image into the background. This was created by creating a mask layer over the original layer and then using the gradient tool and adjusting the gradient to my image. 

As you can see, I have used all the main conventions such has Release Date, Main image etc but the gradient effect I have used on all items in this poster. This is a convention that I have taken on board and isn't a convention I followed. The gradient effect was put into place because it give you a insight into the characters hidden side. I used the gradient to show that the characters have a side which isn't portrayed when looking at their image. My magazine front cover using the same effect and reveals an image behind. This was where I came up with my slogan, 'not just pretty faces' as the characters are not just what they look like
