Billboard Draft

I took inspiration from this TOM FORD billboard  I like how classy it looks and professional but it doesn't link to my style enough so I will have to go back and have a look to see how I can link My billboard in with my website and magazine.

I decided to try and incorporate the boxes prevalent in both my magazine and website. I kept the same color scheme to marry them all together. I am still not so sure about the image I used it looks professional as it was taken in a photography studio, however my billboard looks too much like a fashion billboard rather than a film one

I went out over the week end and took some pictures of the bridge in newcastle I also took some pictures of cameras so it would link into my film magazine as it is a magazine about film, I tried to make the billboard not busy, they colours link in with my costume and I didn't want to have any faces in it as regional magazines focus more on the location rather than the model. I think I will just use the images of the bridge on its own as its the least busy.

I have tested out another image I took in newcastle which I think looks a lot more appropriate. It i also references the North East because of the bridge. The main issue with this image is the buildings in he background it looks very crowded and draws your attention away from he bridge.

I opened photoshop and tried out the same affect as my reader profile when I used the gradient tool to make my reader red to match the color scheme. I deleted the back ground using the magic wand tool and the Lasso tool.

using the gradient tool I cold slide between the different shades of red, I went for the same red through out to have continuity.

This is how my billboard looks so far and I am happy with what it looks like.
