Evaluation (how i made my film poster on photo shop)

When I had an idea of what i wanted to do for my film poster which was using three girls in the back and one girl in the front. At first i found it very hard to use photoshop because I have not used it before so I found it quite hard getting use to it.
For the background I had used grey and pink, the tool I had used for this was gradient tool. what this tool did was it blended the two colours when they had joined in the middle this was because i did not want a solid line in the middle of my film poster.
With the title 'CHEER' I had made the size 190 and made the font quite bold this is because the film is about cheerleading and I through it would be an good idea for the word 'CHEER; to be quite bold to catch the target audience eyes and also because it is the main word and the reason about the film. However the word word 'POP' is much more smaller and was about 130 in size,and it is not as bold as the word 'CHEER' his is because I wanted the word 'CHEER' to stand out more the the word 'pop' I wanted my title to be quite simple.
The name above my title 'Sophia Williams' was not to bold and it was not really small or was not to big this is because i did not want people getting confused on what one would of been the title so it had to be a decent size for the top of my film poster.

For the people on my film poster i had taken the images separately so then that way I would be able to position them where I wanted. The tool I had used to do this was the rubber tool this helped me to get rid of all the background from the images I had taken what I had to do was to zoom tight into the images this was because for me to be able to get rid of the background and get rights near to the person. At first i found this very hard because i did not zoom in at first so so I kept on rubbing out parts of the person and I would get worried if I could not find an way to get the part of the person back but to get the part back there was a certain thing at the top of the page such as: image, edit, file, layer, select etc. and in edit the first thing was undo button this would get back the part that I had arrayed by accident.

On the right hand of the bottom of the screen there would be layers. what layers where, was everything I had added to the poster would show up on layers and i could always go back and click on layer it was if it was four, six or ten, I would be able to work back on that piece of work, so at one point I wanted to move one of the stock characters a bit to the right. I was able to do this by going on layer and selecting the number/image it was.
Also on the right hand side was history. I used history to go back on the erasing I had done on my film poster this was because I had done a lot of erasing use of the images I had taken the background of it.
At the top of the screen was edit and in edit was transform and in transform was scale. what i had done with scale was enlarged the main person in my film poster which was the girl in front this was because she was the main character, so she had to stand out from the rest. With the Tagline 'girls just wanna have fun!!' was quite bold and was right under the stock characters. On the top right hand side i had used the colour tool to change the colour of the fonts.

The 12 age rating and credits where taken from the internet which was placed at the bottom of my film poster. The credits where placed in the middle at the bottom of the film poster.
For the relies date 'COMING SOON' was quite bold. i had done this so then that way the audience was able to see it at the very bottom of my film poster i had also made the colour of the relies date to be in white so it stood out from the credits being above it.
