I decided to insert this particular Avril Lavigne picture into my Poster because it's a good portrait and it shows dark, bold make up which is her signature look. Through researching a good photo, I did experiment with long shot modelling pictures and live concert snapshots but I didn't like the colours and the size when it came to manipulating.
I found that the modelling photos were too 'bland' in a way that it wouldn't seem very attractive to the viewer if it was displayed on a bus shelter or billboard. Although the shots seem bright with different colours and tones -pictures below- it was difficult to for me arrange the the collage of photos in a successful composition that would be intriguing for the viewer to look at. I didn't see an 'interesting' poster being produced because it was just too dark, in consequence of me attempting to brighten the pictures I lost a lot of needed colour and contrast.
The majority of the live photos that I collected were in conclusion too dark to use and left me with unwanted black corners that stood out too much like a sore thumb - I did however try to cut and blur the corners so I ended up rounding off her silhouette but it looked 'weird' in the sense she had half a body tilted at an odd angle.
The portrait photo-shoot was the best option. On the photo I decided to use an effect -I've recently forgot the effects name, but I am currently going through effects on photoshop. - It created a transparent but contrasting effect because it added boldness to the dark areas - her lips and eyes- and took away contrast and colour away from her body and neck so that the first thing you are drawn into are her black powdered eyes.
Here are some of the pictures that I had decided not to include or use in my ;
