ORIGIONAL BURBERRY BILLBOARD

 

I chose this billboard as it fits with my theme of fashion and I believe it looks chic, professional looking and has a well edited finish. In my opinion it also promotes the brand well and the product which they are selling (eyewear).

 

RECREATION

 

To recreate this billboard I started by taking the main image as this is the base of the billboard with the other conventions beside it. I took this image in a photography studio as this is also how the image for the original billboard was taken. I also tried to match the sunglasses with those from the original which I belie I have done quite well with them both being an Avatar style therefore looking very similar. I tried to position my model to the best I could to match the pose of the originals. This was fairly simple however it proved quite a challenge to find the correct angle which the head should be lifted. I couldn't however find a model which matched the hairstyle of the originals and I do not currently have the editing abilities to erase the reflection shown on the sunglasses or smoothen the edges of the image.

 

     For the text I think I did fairly well finding a similar font to the originals. I used the font Modern No. 20. The main disadvantage to using this text I found was when I made the text smaller it became pixelated and quite unclear.

 

     If I was to create this billboard again I would use a grey backdrop when taking the images in the photography studio as this would remove the need to edit out the background of the image and create a more professional and flawless looking main image.
