Movie Goodness ^^

soooo having a looky at all the different fonts for movies posters you realize there is alot of crap out there >>

an example of this crappy font is the WANTED movie poster... the graphics for this poster are good but the font really lets it down..... granted the title stands out due to the big bulky size but its very plain and boring... this movie is pretty face paced filled with lots of action yet this font really doesnt portray that as the graphic can hint at.... it also doesnt stand out as well as it could due to the color scheme... i think it blends in to well with the rest of the poster.... the only thing i can gather for the font being like this is due to the old school wanted posters.... it has a similar formatting but i dont think it does this movie poster justice.....



an example of a font that works really well for the movie poster (yush there are some good ones out there ^^) is CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY......The combination of the graphics and the font of this poster creates a sense of whimsical adventure..... the movie opens up a world of the imaginary and this poster conveys it well... using bold but curvy childlike font adds to the message of what the movie is about... the color is also used well with the colorful and vibrant colors that help to create the fairytale world which is the chocolate factory... all n all the colors and font n graphics work really well to create this movie poster....

Moire Patterns

  • when scaning some images from magazines, newspapers, fabrics and other stuff and fluff, undesried and unintentional changes to the quality of the image and color may occur (aka moire patterns) if this is to occur you can use the descreen button which will remove this imperfections to your images....

Resolutions

300 dpi is the best resolution for commerical printing..... brings up all the details and creates an extremely clear pikature.....

150 dpi is best for laser and inkjet printers...... not as of such a high quality like the 300dpi but still good



72 dpi is for email attachments or presentations, eg powerpoint etc... this image is of the lowest quality and you lose alot of the details....

now for one more treat for you all seeing as ima soooo nice... dds of one of the skirts i did ^^
