DMF Poster assignment

1. The themes that I chose for this poster cam mostly from a variety of things I have seen recently in mass media; television, internet, etc. I decided that I wanted to try using text, as was suggested, as part of the overall image. In this poster the text is meant to suggest a kind of frenzy, but also a very imaginitive theme. I chose snow white because I recently saw a trailer for a new remake of the original movie. It was on my mind, so I decided to try and convert my thoughts into digital media.
2. For this project I really used the layers tool a lot more than I have before. I used it for every element of the poster. And I found myself doing things that had previously stumped me! For example, the two central panels of text were not solid at first, but then I began shuffling my layers around until I liked what I saw.
3. I used free transform and cloning to really warp this iconic image of a Disney princess. I felt like this would really catch people's attention. You see, in our minds snow white is perfect, innocent, virtuous. But I didn't want to put a stereotypical image of her on my poster. Otherwise it would be just like all of the others we typically see. I copied the image of her face and made it point in all different directions. I chose that image of her head in particular because she is not smiling and looks more nondescript and shocked than anything. I also used the outline of an apple instead of the traditional red apple with a bite missing. I wanted to imply things here, and not allow the audience to assume that she has or that she will do what they have been told (i.e, taking a bite). I also used text to show more of a modern, almost comic-book style image.
