Movie Poster Promo

My main characters in my movie poster is Ziggy Twisty and Malia Hessenheffer. The actor playing Ziggy is Miles Frazier and the actor playing Malia is Leslie Acoba. The setting in the background is a small grass area at Kapa'a Middle School. We chose that to be our background because our setting in the story has to do with school. There are three pictures all together. The first one Ziggy is looking into the distance trying to show how sad and depressed his is. The second pictures shows Ziggy and Malia's love for each other and how strong their bond is.

Our title for our movie trailer is "Young And Broken Hearted". That title is included on the top of our poster to state the title and name of the movie. Some other texts in our movie poster are " Miles Frazier as Ziggy" and "Leslie Acoba as Malia". I added those text so that when people see that Miles is playing as Ziggy, people want to watch it because people liked Miles in other movies and in real life maybe. Also, I put "Hollywood Studios say: inspiring" and "New York Times say: Jaw Dropping". I put those on the poster because it shows good reviews from popular companies. This is very important because it shows people that the movie is good. Lastly I put " While he save him self or will she?" I put this so when people see the trailer they will kind of get the idea we are trying to give in this movie.

Kerning is very important in photoshop. Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning is important because it makes it easier to read the words. It also organizes the word.

The overall impacted of the filter and layer was very excellent because it really helped to out the words and title over the pictures so you can see them. Also, the gradient was very awesome because i used it to make the pictures look like they are fading into each other so they don't look like boxes of pictures next to each other. It was great having the different filters and layers.


The beginning of my process.

Visual Literacy

For this project our assignment was to fold a book to create a word. It may sounds hard but its quite easy. So the process is to fold each paper have a line on the template of your word. Then you make a mark that shows that you have a already folded half or that line. But back to my book. My word was Love. The man who help grow this fun activity is Isaac G. Salazar. He has been folded books since the 2009. He says he does this so he can share that books are fun to read and also fold because he sees that everyone in this generation is using technology, while books just sit there.Visual Literacy is the ability to recognize and understand ideas through visible actions or images. This book folding process is an example of visual literacy because you see a word through the book, kind of like a hidden message. 

For my book i folded the word love because nobody used it yet and because i just love the word love. My font and my word relate because my font is kind of bold looking and my word is just bold its self. My intention was to show the word love in a book because i "love" to read books. I folded 588 pages for the word "love". 

I think my book came out pretty good because one: you can see the word really good up close and far away. And two: its really neat. I wouldn't do anything or change it because i like the way it turned out and the final results. If i would try to fold another book i would try do a heart because i think that would look pretty and it probably would be easier because there's not as much angles as a word then an image. Or i would do a image of a moon, star, wave , or flower.

Proactive or Procrastination?


To be honest I feel I am a little of both. But if I had to pick one I would say I am a procrastination type of person because I usually donʻt study as much as I should. Also, I am usually late on some assignments which is pretty bad. Lastly, I sometimes play around or space out in classes. But I am definitely trying to become a proactive person!


My level of productivity is kind of high when it comes to my free time because on my free time I be sure to do my homework or assignments. But the reason I say "kind of" is because sometimes I just go home and just go and play like go to the beach even though I know I have to study for a test. Or I just wonʻt study till night time when I should be sleeping. I know I have to work on my level of productivity.


Somethings I would like to chance about my work habits would be to not fool around in class and really pay attention to what the teacher is teaching. Also, I would be productive on my free time such as studying or doing work that could improve me in a class. I would remind myself to try to study right when I get home. I would also take time doing my homework so I do a good job.
