experimenting with print

I was looking back at the band prints I found and really wanted to experiment with photoshop so i made some rough posters, i wanted to test out the lomo effect that can be created on photoshop by created a vignette around the edge by altering the levels, and then adjusting the curves. I then created an opaque black layer to go over the photo. This was easy and i like the effect! i also experimented with the text and some frames.

adding the typography & itunes logo, the itunes logo creates realism, as most bands sell their music via itunes, so i think this works well, as it is easy and believable.

experimenting with polaroid backgrounds:

I like the hardness of this polaroid frame, as it looks more realistic. I think the polaroid gives the poster a vintage effect which really compliments the style we are going for in the video and makes it a bit more interesting. 

i like this frame however i feel it is a bit opaque against the image. I like the rugged vintage look it has and think it looks effective, i think the tape gives it that something extra making it more interesting!
