making the nuclear poster

First the place where i will be making the poster is Photoshop, the first thing that i did in my poster was adding a background fro it the place where i got my background is google images and the images link is (http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2013/12/natural-nuclear-fission-reactor-gabon-west-africa/). After i add the background i add a text of the name of the drink which is called (nuclear) and i made them by getting an image from google then combining it with the text by using the magic wand tool and selecting the font and putting it behind the background and deleting the background for the text and it should be made you can see it below of how it looks like in the blogger. The next things that i have been was trying to cut the background of the sports drink because i was taking pictures of them before making the poster, while i was making the poster i had to add the picture sports drink before that i had to remove the background by using the magic wand and the eraser tool. the next thing that i did was adding the mascot (leo the lion) in my poster becxuase i made a decsion to add the same macsot because i agreed to with the audince making the mascot an animal. The reason why i chose lion as the animals becuase it was one of the most popular animals and i was think of the the king of jungle around that time eg, the lion king and the jungle book, after that i made sure that the lion we looking at the drink becuase it needs a reason why the lion was there for example (even nice animals like the drink), that could be one of the slogan. Speaking of slogan i add that in my poster by coming up the slogan in at website called (https://www.shopify.co.uk/tools/slogan-maker) and selecting it and adding more style to the slogan text by going to dafont.com and chossing a font that will go well with the poster. After i chose a font sytle and before that slogan i add a background in the font by using the magic wand tool and selecting the fonts to remove the white background and seleting it and puting the font bakcgorund in the by swith layers and prssing the delete button and it will comine with the font. After that i add the text saying (partnership with stardust) so i can be a more realistics poster by having parnters. I later asked if i could improve the poster from the teach and he told me that i should remove the black backgorund so you can read the text and i changed the background into red  or orange so i can blend well with the nuclear sign in the middle can satnd out and be the main attarction along with the drinks. The other thing that improved on was making the sports drink more really by removing some of the wehite background by using the pen tool and only selecting the bottle not the white bakcgorund and right click and make selection and pressing ctrl c or v and the well be another layer and click on the layer, the white background will be removed and put it in the poster and everything was well improved.

Contact Sheet 1 & 2

In this part of the project I had to take pictures of sports drink to make my poster, to take my pictures of the sports drink, first, I had to book the camera and tripod before that I had to set up a place where it has a lighting with a white background. After I set up the place where I'm going take the pictures I booked the camera for the next day, so i took the pictures the very next day and the camera setting that i used for the picture where low ISO because the pictures were taken indoors and it was a sunny day so I didn't need light, I also didn't need to use the aperture because the was already light from the sun because the place where I was taken the pictures was near the window so the sun was shining near the drink and camera to the objects bright. The other settings that I used were the white balance, white balance is when you remove the unrealistic colour cast. so I select it and helped me by making the white parts of my pictures stand out.


The number of pictures I have taken was 80 in the nuclear sports drink and 70 pictures in the stardust sports drink. 10 with each sports drink flavours the way I did to take the pictures is by taking the pictures 5 from the back of the sports and 5 in the front of the drink.

Making the Stardust Poster

to make the poster first I chose a background from the internet and the add it to the poster when I add the pictures of the sports drink that I have taken off on Tuesday and add it to the poster, the next thing I did was make then to the correct size. After that I made a font of the word stardust by doing what I did previous to make the words in my label by getting a font from dafont.com and a background then make a new page and putting then two together and using the magic want tool of the font and removing the white background and pressing the magic wand tool on the font and putting it behind the selected background and pressing the delete. So the next thing you do is putting the font in the poster, the next thing I was done was adding the mascot in the poster and in the correct place then I was done. After I was finished I asked the teacher if I could improve my poster any way I the teacher said that I could make the poster od the stars a bit bright by using the levels and curves tools and it made the poster look better, the teacher also said the slogan was a bit dark so I made it a bit bright by using the level and curves tools and it looked better the next thing I did was the picture of the sports drink had to change place so I had any idea to make the picture a bit far way like the stars and bend so I can look similar to the stars being far away and after that improved the mascot by making it a bit dark and turning it to the other direction so it can look at the sports drink in the stars with those ideas and advice it helped me improve the poster.

After I printed the work I was told I could improve my work even more by making the drink from small to big add the drink each time it will go small, also I was told that I could improve my work by making the slogan more bright because some people could not see it , the other advice I was told to make the lion wich is the mascot of the drink to blend in with the stars so it can look cool.

here are some of the background I made that I made before decided to use the one from the internet I made them by first selecting the shape tool to use the stardust background, the tool that I used was custom shape tool to make the stardust and made a star shape and after that I was duplicating the shape until the is a lot of stars to cover the background. After the colour that I choose for the star is blue I chose the colour before I made the shapes by selecting the colour in the top right of photoshop. The background colour that I chose was black; I wanted to make the stars stand out and bright, after that I add font stardust across to make the poster unique and different, for the rest of the background I made I got it from the internet and made the colour and font in the middle of the poster for the same reason why I made the stardust font. the only difference I made from the original  poster to the practice poster i I made then by myself only the centre logo id from the internet, all the other things in the poster I made then by using the paint bucket and the shape tools.

My other label Nuclear

To make the label first I had to chose a background and I chose it from the internet after the I had to measure the label so when I stick it on, after that I went to Photoshop and made a new page of paper and creating my on paper by putting the size of the paper which is the size of the label. After that the page should come off the label sized paper so the next thing to do is I added I background then add a logo of the sports drink on the left side of the paper so the next thing I did to make it more realistic is I add nutritional information next to the logo, however, it will be further back because I made I mistake when I did the stick onto the bottle when most of the writing was covered by the logo. After I done writing the nutritional information I need to make the drink a little bit cool so I add the drink flavour name in the bottom of the logo by going to (dafont.com) a choosing a font then making a new page and adding the background and font together, then using the magic wand tool on the font to remove the white background then after that I used it again on the font to select it all than putting it behind the background by putting the layer of the font underneath the background layer, so after that the highlighting of the font should still by the and then I pressed deleted and everything is gone apart from the font which should have the background as it font. The next thing I did was adding the font to the label and everything should be finished.

The other tools that i used was to make the background picture to be more bright i went to the tools were the are layers and above the tools the is which says normal i clicked on the tools and click on the thing that says multiply and selected it and the pictures went bright.

Secondary Research - sketch of sports drink,cartoon and logo

This is the sketch of the cartoon and I was chosen by the audience to make the mascot an animal and the animal that choose is a lion because it is a one of the most common animals. To make this lion I used the website (http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Lion) which helped me to draw my lion step by step because my drawing isn't very good but using the wikihow.com is helped me draw better.

The is a logo of my sports drink called stardust I created this logo by using the website called (https://www.graphicsprings.com/start-your-logo) first to make the logo I needed a name and I called it stardust because the audience chooses the name after that I needed my picture so I choose the one with the man lifting weight to represent the sports drink, after that I add some shapes in stars because the name of the drink is stardust and it says start in the name so I wanted to add some stars in the logo in some way.

In this picture, I sketch the bottle because I wanted to know how my sports drink could look like but hasn't got the banner in the bottle but I got any idea of how my work will look like. To draw this drink I used the website (http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Water-Bottle) but it could look different when I take the pictures of the sports drinks
