Designing my logo

Introduction
Horror movie logo all follow different conventions depending on which conventions that the movie follows. Must slasher logos will consists of a red font that creates the effects of blood dripping from the letters whilst others genres such as the psychological horrors feature a logo with an eerie font and and eerie colour to further implement the themes of the movie.
The themes in my narrative consist of; internet relationships, technology, suicidal thoughts thereby dictating that my narrative falls into the somewhat psychological genre, but due to the antagonist in my narrative being a killer; my narrative also falls into the slasher genre.
       My initial ideas for a logo will be a bold logo that represents all the themes that occur in my trailer; these themes are suicide, stalking and online networking, I am planning on incorporating this into my film logo by stylizing them into my logo, for example I could have could use a digital font to represent the theme of online networking or incorporate a picture of some hanging themselves on one of my type faces to represent the theme of suicide.

Step one

 Since I had gained previous experience from using it last year on my AS media coursework I will be using Photoshop to design and create my film logo. I had created two separate layers; I had used the first as a sort of backgroup for my text which I placed on the second layer, since the color of my text is white the black backgroup allows me to see the text clearly.

Step two

I then proceeded to change the font of my text to "True lies" which was the font that won the poll of what font I should use in my logo, I also ramped up the spacing between each character because I though the letters were to cramped together.

Step three 

 

I had then found a stock image of a person hanging themselves and traced it unto of my text layer to give the impression that the victim is hanging themselves from the letter E; this will be the portion of my logo that represents the suicidal themes of my narrative. 

Step four 

I had shorten the rope used to hang the victim and had move the victim higher. 

Step five 

To achieve the digital look I was going for in my logo I had merged all the layers together and then duplicated it, after this I had changed the RGB split of the duplicated area and slightly moved it to the right to give a sort of glitch effect on the text. 

Step Six 

Finally I had found a glitch texture online and had used placed it on a layer on top of the duplicate area and had changed the layer style to and overlay to give it an overlay over the text.
