So I've been thinking about making a movie about Adad's awakening, not the same as my biography as I am unhappy with it, but a good story about what it's like to wake up and become an angel. I'm still working on a plot and messing with shooting with FRAPS in game but thought I'd make a movie poster while no one was on tonight. So, I ended up with 2.
Now I'm not that good with Photoshop yet, but I think they turned out ok. I'm looking for tips from those who are more skilled, especially on the words in the code as I'm not sure if they're readable without straining your eyes.
Also, everyone give me your thoughts! I prefer the second one.

Brief sexual content? W00T! LOL
Anyway, tone down the title, it's too obvious, and space it out a little more
-
why is it brief?! sheeeeez...
-
OK, minor changes to the text but still not enough. I want the font from the Revolutions poster I'm working from, but can't find it. Anyone know what it is y chance? Also, which do you guys like better, or neither?

Shouldn't that bottom one have signatures or something?
-
What do you mean?
-
Almost bankgothic? http://www.mazedude.com/fonts.htm though I guess it's more 24
-
That bottom poster is perfect! I would just suggest doing something graphic with your bluepill name and your awakened name. No other images needed.
-
And clean up those jagged edges :D
-
How do I get rid of the edges??? Any ideas for the names phienyx?

Take a better screenshot! Oh man, I'm so funny I kill myself
Try a soft blur in Photoshop I guess, I normally go over them with a very fine blur pen but I suppose this is something those arty types should answer
-
I like the one I believe Phienyx was referring to that had no pic and it was simply yet "THE SHIT". Make sense?
-
Better?

PS Wood - Uh, the one with no picture is an actual poster for Revolutions...
so, you'd prefer something like this?

As far as names, What is your "bluepill" name?
For example, my character's bluepill name is Alexander "Zannder" Kayne. My awakened name is Phienyx.
An idea sould be to have your bluepill name, but in a foreground shadow have it form your awakened name. Or have your bluepill name in white in the foreground and have your awakened name in larger, less defined glowing green text behind it.
I'll toss you an example of what I mean when I get a little bit of time later tonight.
-
I like them all, mostly because I can't do this even if I tried. The second one (the one with your character standing there and the wings sticking out) looks awesome, and it is my favourite.
Mm, Phienyx, nice sig by the way...HOW COME I DON"T HAVE ONE YET!?
Btw, WHERE is SARED!?
-
cuz you haven't asked me to make you one and made an offer to me for it :) lol j/k
-
Like this Phien? If I made my bluepill name chad...

About my sig, Countess:
That is my sig from when I was originally with the Angels. I was FA before the game went live. ;-)
Adad, that's kinda what I have in mind. Play around with some effects on the text. You've got something interesting going there.
Perhaps have a sub-title of "The Awakening" or "Second Birth" or something to that effect.
-
Well, the title is in the code.... thus I kinda prefer the one with him standing and the wings behind him, cuz the title is there. Also, though I like the shadow bluepill:redpill idea, his name won't be important really. Much like Thomas Anderson, it's just a standard, simple name.
-
I see what you mean.
Perhaps just place a slightly transparent pic of the FA logo in that empty spot and make the lettering of the title just a LITTLE more defined or give it a little bit of a darker green stroke.
-
Ooh I see. I still don't have a siggy though.
And Adad, I likey the latest one. Mmmmm, but play around with the effects for the text. Always room for improvement, right? I can't WAIT to see it!
-
When Orien made that poster I bugged him for the original PSD file and found the exact font he uses it's:
OCR A Extended - Regular
Hope that helps some, oh and your posters are coming along nicely.
-
Also you said you wanted the letters to stand out more. How about removing the white-ish code behind it. That way people will be able to read it better.
-
Any better?

-
That's much better but you might want to shrink the font size just a wee bit so it fits more uniformly into the falling green trail. Also I'd remove "ADAD :" and leave just "Awakening of an Angel", the " : " doesn't seem to flow properly. You can increase the size of "ADAD" just slightly and move it to the Top Left or put it on it's own and input your bluepill name (like the reflection pic you did)
Also I'd be interested to see what it would look like if you erased the head of the FA Angel that's behind you.
...Just my 2 cents. Looks good though.
-
? I kept the title as is, with smaller font though, cuz that's what it's titled in the movie. Plus if it's any smaller, it will look a lot worse than when it looked too big

there is really only one thing that has been bothering me since the beginning of this... if you look at the bottom you can see 05.07 covers your left foot yet your right foot is over the R rating restrictions ... just seems like its not uniform either have both cover your feet or your feet cover them. If you look at a real movie poster there is generally nothing blocking your view of the Rating. Other than that, I absolutely love it. You did a great job on it.
-
That looks sweet Adad, my very last advice is to Capitalize all of the Title.
