My Poster Design Process in Photoshop

Here's the poster design process I use to create movie posters, one-sheets, and key art in Photoshop! A lot of times I can't share the work I do for clients on the channel. So, I thought I'd create my own fictional project for a vampire horror movie so I can explain what it's like to create a mood board, lighting setups, and pose references for a client. Additionally, I made my own assets by creating my own photoshoot with me as a vampire - a first for me! It was so much fun.

I ended up creating three posters because when working with clients they often want multiple options.
