Photos

This was our first attempt at photographing our business card, as you can see we used the same spray technique as we had practiced. This proved very successful as we all agreed that it was the right technique for the job in hand. We also used a different lighting source and this also proved very successful. This is because we got a yellow, dingier light. This added to the eary theme of our magazine cover. We all agreed that we'd use this light source again as it proved to look more unique and had a professional look to it.

We then experimented with different techniques and patterns, we tried a "bloody handprint" technique, as shown above, to give the image a more sinister feel. We felt however that this wasn't very effective as we were unable to get a finish of an acceptable quality. We therefore decided not to use this technique and to stick with using the spray finish we perfected previously.

Before we jumped right straight into spraying paint onto our prop business card, we decided to use a mock card as a tester. This proved to be very useful as we perfected the technique of effectively painting the card to make it look like blood splatter. However we did find a few imperfections in this method, one of them being it looked quite bare and very bright. So we chose to darken the whole image and use a dingier light source to give it a slightly eary feel.

This is the business card we designed and printed to use as the main item in our magazine cover, we chose to use a business card as it contrasts with the dominant "Psychotic Killer" theme of our film. This shows the name and profession of our main character, this shows his professional side as opposed to his "alter-ego".
