Font for title: final copy
I refined the first draft of the
title, re-doing it a few times to make sure it was right, as the claws drawn had to look like the real ones. The first couple of copies I did either didn't look like real fingers, or the whole thing looked a bit too like a cartoon. I wanted it to have more of an impact, and to look like real fingers, but also like it was hand drawn. When I finally finished drawing up the neat title, I had to scan it into the computer to work on in Photoshop. I had a bit of trouble scanning at first, as I drew it in pencil so it didn't show up properly on the computer. I had to draw over it in black pen. This wasn't good for me, as I thought it made it look more cartoon-y.
Once it was all scanned in, I started trying to make it more scary and life-like. I coloured the fingers in skin colour and the claws in 'silver'. However, there was no such thing as the color silver on Photoshop, so I had to colour them in grey with gradient to make it look shiney. To colour in all different parts of the image, I had to make a seperate layer for each part, which took quite a while. Once I had done that, I had to put blood into it - on the nails. However, as I am no Photoshop wizz, this wasn't as easy as expected. In the end, after a few technical problems, I decided it would be best to just use the paint tool with a small diameter to 'paint' the red blood onto it. As I had to be careful, this took longer than expected.
