POSTER TUTORIAL

I was asked to make a tutorial for this poster, and it’s very simple and it will only take you a few minutes. The hardest part was finding a good picture to work with. I had to crop this picture. Which is 570x416, so of course it will look very blurry and pixlated.

4. Now you should add textures. Set to SOFT-LIGHT and/or SCREEN.
I can’t remember which textures I used in the original. But here’s the ones I used when re-creating it:

Now it should look like this:




5. At last I merged the layers, sharpened it. Added a bit more contrast and took away some of the saturation:




I’m no good at explaining things, I just do things and forget about it. So if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
