Here I will demonstrate for you how to put together another promotional poster!

First I found a good picture to suit what I had in mind. After that I cropped out and removed all the unnecessary type inserted into the picture. Then extended (Edit/transform)  the background to fit a wallpaper (1024/768 pixels)


After doing this I had to find an additional photo to be pasted in along side the first character in the poster. I knew I wanted to place her (Jessica) against the wall a bit distant from the primary character (Lucas).


After finding the appropriate photo (Above) I had to do some adjustments to make it work…resize, tilt, crop, copy, past, ta-da!


As you see there are triangles added now on either side of the picture. I had to do this because the photo of Jessica was slightly cut off, so in order for her not to be split in half the added layers were necessary. It was convent how the person Jessica was laying on in picture #3 was wearing black; passing for shading when she was inserted.


After pasting Jessica into the photo with Lucas I had to now change to color tones so their skin matched a little better…


After completing to former (though they turned out slightly sun burnt looking) now it is time to add the logo/title!

Not totally satisfied yet I extended the left triangle to make more room for the logo to fit. Now running the home stretch it is time for my favorite part!

To jazz of the triangle look I decided to fade in a few other pictures … to do this I pasted the picture where I wished it to be faded in, clicked edit/define pattern, and then faded it in using the stamp pattern tool which works just like a paintbrush. Once I was done fading in additional photos I washed out the color slightly to take away the sun-burnt look and then played around with some Artistic filters…and so…


The end!
