1 - Firstly, I chose the image that would be used as the main body of the poster. I chose this image as it is the same as one of my album cover drafts and would therefore create continuity. I also chose this image as I love the blurred effect created in Lily's body and is used quite frequently within the indie folk genre.
2 - I then increased the contrast by +25 and the brightness by +80. I found this improved the image a great deal as the original image was too dark. The brightening effect also gave the image a more ghostly feel along with the blurred effect.
3 - After that, I added a sepia photo filter to give the image an older more retro feel to it.
4 - I then added another photo filter, this time magenta in order to give the image a slight pink tint and a rosy warm feel.
5 - In order to make the text more visible on the contrasting background, I added a white rectangle shape across the top of the image. I then changed its opacity to soften its appearance and make it less harsh. This made it fit with the image better.
6 - The white shape made it easier to add text over it and make it more visible. The combination of the text and shape makes it more eye catching and stand out better.
7 - I then added the relevant information underneath the title. I like the contrast in colours of the text and background and it makes it subtly different.
8 - Then, using the brush tool I added the star rating at the bottom of the poster where they are most commonly found.
9 - Finally, I added the review quotes on either side of the star rating to keep the poster balanced.
