adam's is just obviously photoshoped. the cropped images of all 6 Animorphs don't fit in with the background

Photoshop is how ALL professional movie posters have been made for at least the last 5 years Blue. It's a piece of professional software, and the price point drives this fact home.

And for the record the fact that I thought it was fake was founded in the release date, not the work involved. The poster itself is very good quality and could easily be mistaken for professional.

The poster is pretty neat. I have mixed feelings on whether I wish it were real.

The reasons why I saw it as fake quickly were the fact that a far, yet specific date was given, as goom had said, the way the copyright was done, the scale felt a bit... off, and most importantly, I had used the background you chose as a wallpaper for about six months. I only recently changed it, and I assumed a paid person would probably use original photography.

What does it mean to be free?

Haha, ya, I got most of the animals from places like National Geographic and stuff. Hey, if I could have went out and took a picture of a bear standing on its hind legs and roaring, I would have! But frankly, i've not been given that opportunity yet (which i think i'm thankful for... lol)

I really don't get how you people separate professional work from average work here...

The secret is:

[spoiler]they can't![/spoiler]

The real difference between professional work and amateur is that someone pays for professional.  This has only a minor impact on quality: hopefully people won't pay for complete crap.  If something's good it can be either professional or amateur--and it's worth noting that several of my favorite books, most of my favorite albums, and almost all of my favorite translations are amateur work.

So?  Pros use Photoshop, too.  It's kinda an industry standard, if you haven't noticed.  That's like complaining about CD because it "obviously was studio-recorded."   ::)

For what it's worth, Adam's work is every bit as nice as the Avatar one.

Thank you Weathel!!

Thank you as well, Chad!


And just to be clear, I did those things (like make the date specific) to make you guys feel it was fake (i'm not THAT evil to let you guys have freak attacks and parties for a phoney! ;D ).

That's not necessarily true, a lot of times they'll use stock photos a lot, especially for backrounds and military vehicles. Though they're generally from a library the studio pays to use.

I think what made it look not real to me was the silhouettes being completely flat with no detail, as opposed to this poster.

Don't get me wrong though, it still looks awesome and very professional.  Nice work  :D
