WK02 Rock, Paper, Scissors Final Phase

Here is the final product of my poster for Rock, Paper, Scissors. The feedback that I received from everyone who commented on my previous post and the comments I received in person really helped with the creation of this. I decided to go with the idea behind thumbnail #10 and make it have the look and feel of a 1960's era boxing promotional poster. I went with a blocky, bolder font because that style was very overused around that time, and the font also took some inspiration from the movie Fight Club. I found a use for the triangular space on the left side of the poster by adding in realistic visuals of how each hand gesture is performed because my original concept did not show that. I also like how the visuals of the gestures are located directly above the rules. I was also able to correctly crop my reference images and place them into the boxing ring pretty easily. I thought this would be the most time-consuming portion of the project, but it ended up being the first thing I was able to tackle. I found a very nice antiqued paper texture online and used that as the base texture for my whole poster by changing the blending mode to Multiply. I also used a black & white filter over each hand image to give it a classic, vintage feel. Overall, I am incredibly pleased with how my final poster came out and I could not have done it without the constructive feedback that I received. Without that, I would have had no idea where to take my ideas for this poster.
