Film Poster Update: Making The Title Font



Film Poster Update: Making The Title Font

Today I've managed to create my own version of the font shown in our film poster/review pitch and add it to the film poster. The font shown on our film poster pitch was taken from dafont.com and was of low quality. Due to this I have had to try and create my own version of this font using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop.

- First I found a similar font to use(on Adobe Illustrator) as a substitute for the dafont.com font.

Dafont.com font:







Substitute Font (Trajan Pro):















- After that, I moved the text over to Photoshop where I saved the image as a vector image meaning that the images quality stays good. Then I coloured the text in red as we agreed on following a colour scheme of Black, White and Red.After doing this, I moved on to creating the cracked effect as shown on the dafont.com font.






















- To do this, I took a vector image of black cracks (To ensure that the image of our title is of a high quality) and overlapped them with the image of our regular title. I then used the eraser tool to erase any cracks coming off the edge of the title.

- After doing this, I then used the magic wand tool and the quick selection tool to get rid of the image's background, making it so that it can be placed on any image, using the image it has been placed on as a background.

- I then placed the font on the poster, leaving me with just a few lines of text and promotion to add to the poster.
