 ABSTRACT

Cricket plays a very important role because of there are many

glorious moments in view of Bangladesh. As a graphic designer
I tried to make a cricket poster. I thought about many things
during game moments. Like player profile, highest run scorer,
best performer, best bowling, time schedule and many other
key moments during match. Finally, I tried to make time
schedule between South Africa Vs Bangladesh.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction:
Graphic design not only makes something look good; it
organizes information to help deliver a message in the most
impactful way possible. When we combine the right image, a
well-written headline, professionally executed in a well-
established package, then a wonderful work comes!
1.2 Motivation:
Every Bangladeshi has a great love for cricket. The excitement
of this game is so high that even tea shops are fully packed with
people. Actually, it is a holder of our tradition. People watch
cricket with their friends and family. I have tried to make
cricket poster of upcoming Cricket World Cup 2024 and
thought how to encourage Bangladeshi players through the
poster.

BACKGROUND STUDY

2.1 Challenges:
I tried to make the poster, keeping in mind that the current
audience needs. On the other hand, it takes a long time to get
current pictures of the players. Then I have to work keeping in
mind which design will look attractive. At first, I thought I
would make a poster of ongoing moments of the game, but due
to the lack of enough pictures, I had to make this match
schedule poster.

REQUIREMENT AND SPECIFICATION

3.1 Adobe Photoshop 2024:

Adobe photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and
published by Adobe for Windows and macOS. It was originally
created in 1987 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the
software has become the most used tool for professional digital
art, especially in raster graphics editing. Photoshop can edit and
compose raster images in multiple layers and supports masks,
alpha compositing and several colour models. Photoshop uses
its own PSD and PSB file formats to support these features.
Latest version 25.0 was released in September 2023. This
version added generative fill and generative expand for
commercial use.

3.2 Hardware Specification:

My computer setup boasts an Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of
RAM, making it well suited for graphic design tasks.
• Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-10700k CPU @3.80
GHz, 3.79 GHz
• Installed RAM: 16 GB

WORK PROCESS

4.1 Thought process:

First, I thought to get an ideal background and added different
shapes. Then I try to keep the two captains of the two countries
in the middle of the poster. Thirdly, I tried to provide the
necessary information so that viewers know when the game
will start and where they can watch it. Then I wanted to add
logo as needed.
For collecting images, I used Google, PngWings, Gettyimages.

There are two main parts of my workflow,

• Production
• Post-production

4.2 Production:
At first, I started with a 2100*2100 px canvas in Photoshop
2024.

Then I get a solid colour from adjustment panel and added
different shapes like t20 theme.

Thirdly I added two players and used brash tool for mixing
those players as well as the background colour.

Then I added necessary text. This is very important part.

Finally, I added logo mark and this is mostly important for
any type of poster.

4.3 Post Production:

At last, the most important thing is the Camera Raw Filter. It
helps to enhance the colours of the final output.

MY OWN EVALUATION

While making the poster, I looked at many designs, but couldn't

figure out which one would match world cup cricket poster.
Then I saw some posters from some official pages and I wanted
to make good quality posters.
First, I tried to keep the theme of the poster right by
emphasizing the official logo. Then fixed the accessory logo. I
made the upcoming match with two players stand in the middle
of the poster. Then I gave the necessary information.
After making the complete poster I was looking at the poster
for a long time, then I noticed some subtle mistakes. Then I
tried to solve those problems. Indeed, I like my own poster.
