Final Decisions on Poster

After choosing my fonts, I literally just had to place them on my poster according to my plan. I stretched the steel tongs with my chosen names along the bottom of the image in 20pt. I placed the title at a size 60pt above that on the left of the page with 'Coming Soon' slightly beneath it at the end of the title. I couldn't decide where to place my stars names along the top. I experimented with placement, colour and size for ages before settling on having them staggered on the head of my actor so that they stood out.
I chose to have my lead actor 'Jake Wood' in size 18 with the other two names a shade smaller at 14pt. I also had the lead name in red matching the title 'Paranoia'. I had my 'Watch out...' phrase in black placed above the title with more of a space between them than the 'coming soon' gap. This way it stands out more. I added a slight drop shadow onto my title to make the red colour clearer and more defined.
This is the Result, my poster:
