Before getting started to make a movie poster, you need to prepare some movie pictures and some related words. We always prepare these materials according to the theme of the movie. If the poster is made for a love story movie, we need some moved sayings. If it is made for a comedy movie, we’d better prepare some funny sentence. If it is made for a horror movie, some scary texts are better to express it. Thinking about the specific type of movie, prepare the specific words and pictures related.
Once you launch the Publisher Plus, you will be able to browse the built in templates in the template window. Go to the Poster category to choose the favorite one from a vast number of gorgeous poster templates.
Most printers accept different print sizes, so you can decide a specific poster size for print. Besides choosing the preconfigured sizes in Publisher Plus, you are able to customize the size yourself. Click the File menu and choose Page Setup… option to customize your poster size that meets your needs. In the popup window, choose Manage Custom Sizes… from Paper Size Combox. In the secondary popup window, click “+” to input your paper size.
Words and pictures are of importance in a poster. That does not mean a poster should be filled with all the words and pictures. Leaving proper blank space is vitally important as well. Actually, some visual appealing photos and a few words of strong theme will definitely be much meaningful to arouse people’s interests.
Just add the movie related photos to the movie poster template. You can add photos from the left photo list or simply by dragging and dropping it onto the poster editing areas. Then, fine tune the photo color or effect with the color adjustment tools and various built in photo effects, like Vintage, B&W, Marcato, Antique, Pop, etc. Apply one that is suitable for the poster. If this is not enough, refine your movie photo using the features of Saturation, Hue, Exposure, Contrast and Brightness.
