We will start class with presenting our first poster design (both if you have managed to get them done).
Print them out and put them up on the walls. These are not the 'final designs, just the first prototypes, to be refined.
Remember, you are not restricted to photography. Your prototypes could be illustrations, physical props, scanography, or anything else you have explored that will suit your campaign. You should no longer be scamping and iteration at this point).Provide constructive feedback for each other. Gather and implement any changes and work on your campaign imagery.
All tools and equipment that we used in class last week, will be available for you to hire out, so if your campaign needs more photographs with updated props, or you want to continue with paper cut, then please come prepared with props etc.

Create a duplicate of the figure (Ctrl/Cmnd J), and sit the shadow layer behind the figure.
Make it black with Hue Saturation (Ctrl/Cmnd U). Reduce the 'lightness' to black.

4. Once you are happy with the layout of your grid, click on the 'warp' funtion (top left hand corner), and begin moving the verticies alongside the plains. (Make sure the shadows are anchored to the feet).
5. Drop opacity on shadow layer.
