Photoshop Practice (2)

 

The next Photoshop practice I chose to create was a PlayStation 3 game box art design. I chose to do this, because it is a completely different topic to what I have chose for my magazine and out of my comfort zone. This box art design is all dark colours, except for the red title 'Heads will Roll' and the Warning/Disclaimer bar on the back of the box. I decided to use darker colours for this box art, because the concept of the game is inspired by a Zombie Apocalypse and the dark, cool undertones of the colours are normally conventional of horror and zombies. 

I decided to use the colour red against the black, because they will contrast against each other and it also matches the colour scheme of the red piping at the top of the box and the red Warning/Disclaimer box on the back of the box underneath the extra information. The undertone colour of the Zombies in the last picture on the back of the box:

matches the colour scheme of the blue banners at the top of the game box. I found the image of the box, every image of the zombies and the font on google. I again used the website www.dafont.com to find a font that would match the concept and the demographic. 

I found this Photoshop practice went really well,  and I hope to develop these new skills further by doing more Photoshop Practices in the future to improve the Photoshop Skills I already had and to improve my work. 

However, I think the main thing I could improve on would be the font of the title and also the colour of the title. I think these were the main two things that I could have spent a little bit more time on when creating this box art. I think the colour of the font could be slightly darker so it matches the red line below the PS3 logo more, and I also think that the font could have blended into the background of the box more.
