Creating a Movie Poster in Photoshop: Riddick – Part 1

pixelmove.com

Movie posters are a wonderful place to look for inspiration when creating art. They are the culmination of countless creative people working together towards a common goal. A movie poster has to be so much more than a simple image. It must tell the story of the movie and pull people into the theaters.

In this episode we show you how to go from an image straight out of camera, into the dark image you see as the final. We cover how to color your images to strip everything down to one Hue. Then you will learn how to cover your subject in shadow, leaving only the necessary details.

Here are some of the tools we use:
Curves — Curves are the foundation of editing images in Photoshop.
Blend If — Blend-if allows you to restrict a layer to be visible only where highlights or shadows exist.
Hue & Saturation — Colorize your image to make more of an impact

A look Inside Our Canine Inspired Fashion Shoot:

A salon recently contacted us with a great concept for a series of images. The salon owner wanted to enter her team of stylist in a hair styling competition and had the great idea to theme the styles off various breeds of dogs. And we that concept was just too cool to pass up.

We wanted to show off our models and fury friends in extravagant locations. We had originally planned to shoot the series at different locations across Chicago, but after thinking about it we decided it was best to shoot in studio and composite the subjects into their backgrounds. Not only was it logistically easier, it also allowed us to “travel the globe” for our background images.
