information on Adobe Indesign Cs5.
Adobe Indesign is a software that enables users to create text, it specialises in constructing articles and covers things that involve mass uses of text. it does have little counter parts on editing pictures. I realised that photoshop was not fully equipped to edit text like indesign.
Creating a credit block
Credit blocks are usually situated at the bottom of posters, it explains who is in the film, the producers and directors of the film- it credits those who participated in the major roles of the film. Credit blocks makes consumer aware of the film, credit blocks, also promotes those who construct the film- including 'big' names ensures that the consumers are aware of the stars that are in the film.
My first attempt into forming a credit block was a fail!
Very straight-lined and unappealing this showed lack of research of the conventions that credit block followed. My teacher then advised me to start this again using the right software.
I received better reviews for my credit block, it now looked like a professional credit block because it followed the convention. Credit blocks show style and variety it complements the poster.
How to create a logo
Logo is essential for posters, logos shows promotes producers and also makes the audience aware, logos also makes the product look professional and reliable it gives it a signature look like a painting. I found that every poster i came across at least one logo was used, it can also prevent copyright and credits other institutions sponsor. using the software Photostop, because it deals more with creating images.
Producing a logo was relatively simple, logos authenticate work, and I didn't want to plagiarise by deriving my logo from the internet i wanted every image and text on my work to be of my own.
Indesign use
The margin helps with precision, it ensure that my content does not go out of line. In my research i noticed how posters are carefully aligned with each other, there is an invisible line that is left bare from any text or images but only the background crosses it.
