Aladdin and The Magical Lamp poster
In this assessment, I am going to create an image to communicate a specific idea, feeling or story based on a fairy or folk tale using CC-licensed images and Photoshop. The Disney movie ‘Aladdin and the magical lamp’ is the story that I am working on and the image is going to be a movie poster.

FINAL POSTER
The concept of this image is magical as the story is about Aladdin and the magical lamp. I use the Taj mahal as the castle in my posters as the castle of Aladdin was actually inspired by it. I composited a desert ground and a sunset background to create a warm feeling.
I didn’t put in the magical lamp and any of the characters in the poster to make the poster to have a magical and mystery feeling. However, I put in the flying carpet and the blue smoke to symbolise the story of Aladdin. I created a gold text effects for the headline to make the text stand out of the poster. I think the outcome are magical and mystery and it achieve my concept and expectation.
