Good Poster, Bad Poster

This is a good poster of a great film. The wording at the very top gives you a feel and a slight explanation to what its about. It has pretty much all of the characters in the center, with obviously the main characters at the front. Just under the picture it has the title of the film written in a style that also give you more of a feel to what its about. At the bottom has who is in it and who made it, to help reference people to people that might recognize their other works.

This is a poster from an iconic film and my personal favorite, but I have put it as a bad poster. The main picture has got a lot to do with the film but it gives nothing to you. Just under the basic title without capital letters, all it gives away is its from a terrifying best seller. Above the title are three actor names which can draw you to the movie but you will have no idea what parts they play at all. At the very bottom is actor names and the rest of of the main people behind the film.

Blur and Sharpen Tool

With the image below I was asked to create a depth of field to made a large area look like a macro photograph. I blured the back-ground and fore-ground and sharpened up the mid-ground.

This is the original image:

This is the edited result:

I used a 180px brush for the blur tool to blur the back-ground and fore-ground with 75% strength the a 40% strength for the edges of the blur. I sharpened the mid-ground using a 149px brush with 35% strength. I also used image auto-tone the auto-colour then cropped the right and bottom edge slightly.
