Shorecrest competition posters

This year, shorecrest had three exciting competitions: The Battle of the Bands, the Film Festival, and the Art Expo. It was the visual tech class' job to design the posters to promote these events. Most of these utilize the "threshold" effect, turning the picture/design into a black and white shaded finish.



The Battle of the Bands poster is one of my best creations, in my humble opinion. It involves a complicated text effect, much use of the "Dodge and Burn" tools to facilitate use of the threshold filter, and free transform. This is where I utilized free transform best, with clashing guitars in front of a nuclear explosion. I am proud of this one.























This is my only poster in this category not in threshold. However, I did apply multiple cartoon like filters to get the cameras the way they are. Also, used the "Princeton" font for parts of this. I don't believe I use this font in any other creation.



























This poster is fun because it involves a picture of a Boeing 737-700. I always love airplane pictures, and learning to manipulate them this year had been quite fun. Also, used the brick texture effect in the "2007" part of the font. A nice addition I think.
