CF: Development of print work (part 2)

• The next stage of the process of creating my print advert, is to add the VHS/home video effect that is incorporated into the actual music video. We believe that this idea relates to the band's fly-on-the-wall ethos, and possibly pays homage to a simpler time, when technology was more basic, an VHS tapes may have been used rather than DVD's which have a significantly crisper and sharper image.
• I shall be using Adobe Aftershop CS3 to achieve the desired VHS effect on the image; specifically; I downloaded a template which creates the illusion of distortion lines which are iconic of dated VHS tapes. I will use a guassian blur and I shall raesturize the layers, as well as a number of other editing techniques to create an image which truly looks dated.
