Poster designs

I created two stages to the poster, one displaying a healthy Coral Reef filled with vibrant life.

This step was very simple as all I had to do was bring in an image of a turtle, remove the background and blur one side of it to match the background image.

Then I created another image using the same base image but this time I edited it to look like a dead and polluted environment. I removed the wildlife from the image and desaturated everything to varying degrees with the use of layer masks.

Here is a slideshow showing the process I took to get to the final image that I made:

The plastic bags had the opacity reduced by a few percent to give a more realistic impression that they are actually in the environment.

I began to work on making this into a bass animation with different simple frames. I exported each state in Photoshop and brought it into premier pro where I made a basic video with cross fades for transitions.

Here is just a test video I made of the short and simple animation I had done so far. I'm going to add more details, movement, and sounds.
