Movie Poster Monday (5-Halo)

First of all, I wanted to jump in joy with my new MacMini. Essentially, the hardware is Mac. I don't have a Mac Laptop (I wish I did.) I'm getting used to the hang of things and I actually like it better than Windows Vista :)

So I finished Halo today. It was really nice and calming, with the romance, compared to Mockingjay so it was a nice change. The movie poster is pretty simple. Because of school I couldn't do it much elaborately. I had a hard time choosing the actress for Bethany, because she was supposed to represent innocent beauty and I didn't know who could portray it. While I was looking through other fantasy casts, Emma Roberts caught my eye and I thought she could pull it off a bit. And for Xavier Woods, there were just so many options I could choose from, but ultimately I chose Logan Lerman. Who could resist that dimpled smile? :) So, without further ado, here is my (pitiful) attempt at the movie poster for Halo.

Movie Poster Monday (4-Some Girls Are)

This meme is created by Tuning Into YA Books (if you haven't figure out, that's me! :)). This meme is a combination of Matching Actors Into Characters and my mediocre Photoshopping skills. I compile images together from different movie scenes and fan art (that is not mine) to create a movie poster, ever hopeful of a future movie.

I haven't done this in a long time because this has been one of the harder meme's to do because I fail at Photoshop and don't know how to do it properly.

So I've read Some Girls Are quite a long time so my details may be fuzzy. So I don't really watch American TV shows much (Mostly, I watch Korean dramas...too many to tell you the truth) and I was pondering if I should do a Korean style, but I decided against it. For Regina, I decided to cast Ashley Greene because, even though I absolutely hate her style as Alice, I saw a picture of her and felt that she portrayed Regina really well, a little bit vulnerable and a little bit mean. I also used different actresses from The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, and 90201 to represent the Fearsome Four. 

Again, if there are different suggestions for the characters please feel free to say! Or if you're brilliant at Photoshop and would like to do a guest post, please please please feel free to email me. I know my skills are very very very rudimentary. So without, further ado here's the poster!

Movie Poster Monday (3-The Luxe)

This meme is created by Tuning Into YA Books (if you haven't figure out, that's me! :)). This meme is a combination of Matching Actors Into Characters and my mediocre Photoshopping skills. I compile images together from different movie scenes and fan art (that is not mine) to create a movie poster, ever hopeful of a future movie. I'm sorry for not doing this for a while. School :P

I'm currently reading Splendor even though it's been going towards the bottom of my to-be-read pile since I borrowed too many good books. I've like the first three, a bit like Gossip Girls, but with a historical sense and also a toned down sex/drugs issue. I've loved Henry Schoonmaker, but my favorite character is Teddy! The oh, so sweet and nice boyfriend you can rely on. For Henry, I chose Ed Westwick as the match. I've never seen Gossip Girls (never even actually saw the show at all), but I thought his appearence best matched Henry's player and cad type of personality, but drop-dead handsome. For Will, I thought Lucas Till was a good match, even though Till is towards the younger side. Till's country and the soft country boy style fits Will perfectly. (And for Teddy, even though I couldn't fit him in the poster, I thought Logan Lerman's nice and reliable boy look was best. And I'm sure he can pull off the acting, even though he looks too young for Teddy). For the girls, I had a harder time picking the pictures and the actresses with the Victorian style. The only character that I could match Penelope was Leighton Meester. She has a mean but sexy look to her and I'm sure she can pull Pen's mean character well. I'm sorry for not choosing a lot of variety of actors/actresses (and pick them primarily from Gossip Girls.) The girl in the top middle is my vision of Elizabeth and the top left is Diana. Anyone who wants to help, please tell me! And tell me your opinions! So, here's my made movie poster for The Luxe.

Movie Poster Monday (2-Hush, Hush)

This meme is created by Tuning Into YA Books (if you haven't figure out, that's me! :)). This meme is a combination of Matching Actors Into Characters and my mediocre Photoshopping skills. I compile images together from different movie scenes and fan art (that is not mine) to create a movie poster, ever hopeful of a future movie.

I've heard some rumors for an upcoming movie for Hush, Hush so I really hope they choose a great cast (sorry, Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart fans, I really have given up on the movies, except for Taylor Lautner!). For Nora, I thought Emily Browning would be a great match (I matched her to Tamsin in Once A Witch before here) with her vulnerable look and brown eyes and hair. And I think she'll act brilliantly as Nora, by beginning to understand the angel fantasy, like she did with the ghosts in Uninvited. For Patch, I really had a hard time choosing a great actor for him. When I was looking throguh some dream casts, there was the chance of Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian), but I didn't really think he had the "hotness" (in my opinion, sorry fangirls!) for Patch. So, I decided to try Aaron Johnson and even though he might have too much of a softness in his face, I think with enough makeup, he can characterize Patch well. (By the way, I was thinking Gaspard Ulliel, but that was way too much Twilight with Emily Browning). 

Without further ado, here's my movie poster! Again, if you want to help improve my poor Photoshop skills, please let me know!

Movie Poster Monday (1-Silver Phoenix)

Hey everyone! So this is my first time doing this meme. It's similar to Matching Actors to Characters, but instead of only naming characters who I think match the actors, I also compile some images and put them together to create a movie poster using my terrible Photoshop skills (if you want to help out, please let me know! :)).

The first book I decided to do was Silver Phoenix. I am currently reading it right now (review will be up this week!), so the characters are fresh in my mind. Also, I love to watch Asian soap operas so I knew a lot of actors/actresses that could match the characters. For our heroine, Ai Ling, I thought Kim So Eun would be a great match and for Cheng Yong, I thought Oh Ji Ho would be a great match. (The graphics are from the dramas, Empress Chun Chu and Chuno).

I thought Kim So Eun (the girl in the movie poster) matched Ai Ling with her innocent and pretty face, but with the sense of confidence. At first, I thought the picture in the top left corner was too regal to be Ai Ling. But I thought the contrast served well between the fancy dressed Ai Ling to the girl in pastoral clothes, fighting for her father's disappearance. I also thought Oh Ji Ho was a good match for Chen Yong, even though the actor is quiet old. Oh Ji Ho has a foreign, American look in his features, which make up the important characteristic of Chen Yong. Also, I've seen his acting before and I know he can pull out the confident, but weak in the inside, man.

So here's the movie poster! Again, I am really sorry if you are disappointed. I have little to no Photoshop experience, so if you want to contribute (or use this meme) please feel free to do so!
