MakeUp Poster - Brand 1




Above I my Final Piece - Flying Makeup Poster (Brand 1). There have only been small adjustments from the previous screenshot for example I change the colour of the name to make it more similar to the colour of it on the makeup product and I also added the quote/slogan - 'Fly high with' to create some contrast and also repetition because I used the same typeface used on the makeup product for the name of what the product is. I am really pleased with my results.


At this stage, from the previous poster screenshot, there have been a few changes, for example the movement of the geometric feather, and placing it slightly behind the model. The change in the name on the poster, I experimented with colours and sizes of the name and also considered the alignment. Another small adjustment I made was the size os the make up products that appear on this makeup poster, I made them appear slightly bigger because I wanted them to be a more dominate element of the poster because that is what the poster is advertising.


On the stage above I have got the basic element that I would have planned for a poster, now it required a few adjustments, editing and possibly some more added elements to make it look less empty.


I narrowed down some of the photographs taken on the photo shoot and finally chose this one to use on the cover of this makeup poster, before just applying it to the background of the poster without experimenting with the appearance of it, I tried a method I had seen through doing research on Pinterest which is to put an outline around the subject, after I had done this, using the lasso tool, I had to assess which one I preferred more, the original or editing, on and off the poster. Once I finished comparing them I concluded that I liked the edited outline on the photograph when it wasn't on the poster but on the poster the original unedited photograph looked much better and more flowing which I thought would help with the communication method of a poster and its graphic design.


In the next stage above I enlarged the makeup products slightly, and moved the name, added the word 'makeup' to the bottom of the brand name and added the iconic geometric feather of this brand. While creating this poster I referred back to my original scamps and drafts for inspiration and ideas to style the layout and design of this poster around which proved to be very helpful.


This was the beginning of making my first final makeup poster for brand 1. In the above screenshot I have just placed the make up products I made and the brand name in brand 1 typeface.
