The process
The process started by taking photographs of everyone included in the poster. The photos were taken against a green screen - we used this because it is easy to remove the background in Photoshop. The lighting was set up in such a way that is was hitting the side of everyone's face and also the background, which was lit up so it would be easier to see the green in Photohop, and be easy to remove it.
When all the photos had been taken, and I had downloaded them from LearningBox/SkyDrive, I uploaded them all the Photoshop,and then one by one, I used the Magnetic Lasso Tool to make an outline of each person, then after I had made an outline, I got hold of the cut out object and moved it on to the background layer, so it got rid of the background.-----The green of the green screen. Then after I had done this for all the people that are in the poster, I resized them all – with the transform option and by holding down the shift key, so the resizing of the image didn’t skew up when I made it smaller or bigger.
Photoshop & Dafont
After I had done this to all my cut outs of people, by making them all different sizes, as the people at the front are slightly bigger than the people in the background, I went onto DaFont and searched for an appropriate font for the title and the names across the top of the poster.
After searching I found the font ______________, I chose this one because I thought that it looked the best out of all the other ones I had looked at.
To be able to use the font on Photoshop, I firstly downloaded the font from the website, installed it into the Mac, quit Photoshop, then reloaded it back up, and then I was able to use it as a font choice in the text menu.
