Poster Final Drafts - Just before the finishing touches

Since deciding to choose white as the background colour, I've added a drop shadow onto just the knife using Photoshop manipulating different layers. This gives the effect that the knife has been placed onto the poster while keeping the blood fresh looking as you wouldn't see a shadow on the blood. I'm just now deciding between text layouts, I'm really happy on how the poster has turned out.

This gives a very clean image, very too the point.

In this image I have tried to incorporate the tag line as if it was handwritten, although I like how its turned out, upon asking people for their opinion 8 people have preferred the top image and 2 people have preferred the bottom. The main point that people have mentioned is they fact that the tag line takes the attention away from the film title in the second image, as opposed to the title being very dominant in the first image after the clear view of the picture.

For these reasons I'm going to pursue finishing the top image, by finishing off the reviews and all the credits at the bottom.
