Ellis Brigham- Initial Poster Design

I have selected a brightly colored photo of a snowy mountain with trees, a ski lift, and a snow-boarder in brightly colored ski-wear from Ellis Brigham. I have experimented with a Photoshop vector brush to create the rays of the sun in the sky, and also I have made the photo brighter. I then added the Ellis Brigham logo in the right hand corner, and have used the slogan 'Our staff really know their stuff,' in the Helvetica font. I used black for the type so it would stand out against the snowy background. I have also added blocks of black at the sides of the poster to make it stand out. I like this initial idea although there is something missing so I am going to try some other effects.


I have also tried changing the sky color to red and also the snow-boarders clothes to blue electric blue along with the flags in the background.
