In today's session I finished off my second poster and have begun to document it in my book as well as consider the next steps I should take for the rest of the project time. I experimented with texture and colour within this poster and the results were very interesting to say the least. To start off with I looked up dafont.com to look at some fonts that I would like to use in my poster when I spotted some grungy looking ones that gave me the idea to make this poster have a grunge style to reflect it's teenage audience. The phrase I create "Wolves never show their true hides" was based upon the fable the wolf in sheep's clothing in reference to the fact that you will never know who a werewolf is until it's too late. My slogan "Stay Safe, Stay Aware" made another appearance with the reminder to wear condoms. The text has a white paint like backdrop because of grungy visual to it.
I used a lot of old photo and paper textures within this piece to create the grungy aesthetic as well as a gradient overlay to create interesting colour patterns. There was old photo texture that covered the background and hood layers to make them stand out a bit more. There was another old photo texture overlay over all the images except for the logo, and a grungy black border that surrounds everything except for the logo. I think the textures create a interesting effect over the paint job as some areas are darkened but other areas of scratches and smudges are lighter making it slightly old looking but in a sort of cool hipster nostalgic way instead of like an actual old photograph way. I like the background quite a bit as because of the high contrast and multiple textural and colour layers it only suggests it is an actual forest and makes the poster feel more surreal and, again, more grungy.
