1 - Firstly, I chose the image that I would use as the main body of the poster. Because it is already in portrait, I didn't need to select a page size previously.
2 - Next, I used the clone tool to get rid of any unwanted parts of the picture like blemishes or spots. In this case, I used it to remove a section of the camera bag which was accidentally left in the shot. From using this tool I could change the camera bag to look like the log beside it.
3 - I then changed the contrast to +50 and kept the brightness the same. This made the image look edgier and sharper.
4 - The change in contrast the image appear colder in colour so I added a sepia photo filter to warm it up and soften the colours.
5 - I then added the text in the same font and colour as on the album cover as to keep with the continuity and visual recognition of the band.
6 - Underneath the writing I again included a star rating to keep with the conventions of posters.
7 - As there was now no room left for and more text at the top without compromising the size or font of the existing text, I decided to add a gradient at the bottom of the image so that I could add text at the bottom without the colour of the text becoming invisible due to either the dress or the log. I reduced the opacity of the gradient so that it didn't ruin the image by making it too dark or obvious.
8 - Finally, I added the release date of the album at the bottom of the poster, over the gradient. I made the text large so that it stood out to the audience.
