Today we have been working on our text.  As our picture for our poster is quite subtle and mysterious we have to work especially hard on our titles to make the poster look professional.  Using the 'Rabbit Hole' for guidance we came up with our credits.  We liked the layout most posters use of having the persons title e.g directed by in very small lettering and on word being on top of the other.  And then their name e.g Daisy Sloman to be larger an more prominent.
   This has been quite challenging as it has required us to have each work on a new layer and this has become quite confusing.  Particularly when we decided we wanted to move it all slightly to the left.  We are now happy though with what we have achieved and we do think it looks like existing posters credits.
    We also like the layout of this poster and are now beginning to think about where the rest of the text for our poster should go.  We think having all the text at the bottom or on the left of the poster as it is the plainer side.  We have also thought about experimenting with the colours of our titles.
 We originally thought we wanted the titles all in white but as we want to draw attention to Emily's face which it might take viewers a while to spot on our poster we thought using an orange or red might help make her face more obvious.  We will begin to experiment with colours next week.
