Postertastic Fun!

Since I'm such a supernerd, I decided to do my Photoshop project on the poster for Steven Spielberg's upcoming War of the Worlds. I also decided to overstep the requirements by one and do 13 distinct sections.

Why 13? I was feeling lucky.

Here's the original

Now the super-awesome version

1- "Pointilize" - This filter looks a lot better on a section with more color. It is, however, a bit cliche.

2- "Grain - Vertical" - Speaking of supernerd, this is the filter that is overused by many horror film posters.

3- "Lens Flare" - Want to show the world that you're brand new to Photoshop and completely unoriginal? Use a lens flare.

4- "Photocopy" - Used correctly, can be pretty cool.

5- "Halftone Pattern" - Used with the right colors, can be pretty cool.

6- "Paint Daubs" - Similar to "Watercolor," this can be used on certain images to convince everyone that you're a French Impressionist artiste of the late Victorian era.

7- "Radial Blur - Spin" - Good, if used well. This is not an example of it being used well.

8- "Tiles" - Considering how long this filter takes to render, you'd think it would be cooler or at least more practical. The sad truth is that it is neither.

9- "Solarize" - You could, like, so use this one if you wanted to make your band's album cover all, like, ...woah.

10- "Desaturate + High Contrast" - This isn't a filter, its just something I like to do with pictures to make them look cooler.

11- "Crosshatch" - On this red and black pattern here, it actually looks kinda cool, though I can't say that I've ever seen it look cool before.

12 - "Color Halftone" - Dude! Lolzorz, this phltar makz yor pic totllay PUNKRAWK! frikkn hXC! xx1337 HAXXORZxx!

13 - "Radial Blur - Zoom" The other kind of radial blur, the kind that looks a lot better than this if used on a much larger image.
