Anime Theme

Finally, I already decided a theme for my assignment. I’m an avid fan of anime so I thought of using it. I’ll be combining the sound of a movie trailer, Twilight, to scenes from an anime, Nurarihyon no mago, for my video presentation.

The mood will be like there is a dark and a bright side because the character is part human and part yokai (demon). I’m still playing with the colours dark blue or black as the background.

Background:
Layer 0 is a drak blue background layer. To add an effect, I used Gradient Tool (encircled in red on the image above) for Layer 1 and used a lighter shade of blue.

For the characters, I searched and tried many images but decided to used:

(MPrincess, 2010) What I did on this image is to get rid off of the white background by using the Magic Background Eraser Tool and Background Eraser Tool for the sign.

Just like the first image, I also used both tools then cropped it to take off the part that I will not be using. Magic Background Eraser Tool is a big help to erase the background easily in just a click.

I then put them all together and have this result:

Regarding with the fonts, I haven’t decided it yet but I already searched for possible fonts that may fit on my theme. I’m still worried about the outcome though because I might exaggerate the design. But I know, as I go on with it, I’ll definitely change or add something from it.
