design tutorial you're going to need two images of the same person now you can
use yourself for this but I'm using a model today but try and get two
different quality and crisp images of the same person
I've actually linked down in the description box below these two images
if you want to download them and use them for your poster design - today
we're working in Photoshop and we first need to create a selection around the
head and the body so grab the quick selection tool here then press f7 to
open up the layers panel and you can double click the layer to unlock it now
to make this election you're going to want to use a fairly low number with a
quick selection brush and i'm actually using 3 for mine simply click and drag
over the selection and we don't need to be super clean because i'm gonna show
you some tricks later on how to clean things out still using the quick
selection tool you can hold down the alt or the option key to remove areas of the
selection that are currently selecting the background so take your time to
click and drag over your selection and then use the alt option key to click in
areas that you don't want to select tranq it is little the background into
your selection as possible for a crisp and a final play so design outcome
so when you have your selection ready come into the layers panel and create a
layer mask secondly add a solid color layer adjustment here and we're going to
use black this is going to help us see the changes on the next step for a
poster design so later in the video have some stylish techniques and some tricks
for you to make on your poster design enabling it to look awesome and as you
can see the edges are not crisp and clean but we're going to rectify that
right now that will click the right-hand side thumbnail of the layer mask and
then choose select and mask make sure the opacity has been cleaned down and
then you're going to want to adjust the settings
checking the edges of your selection in real time so increase the feather and
also the contrast and maybe decrease the fifth edge as well but keep playing
around with the settings into your happy the final outcome now it doesn't need to
be perfect though because the style of the poster has a kind of off-white to
look to it to repeat the process that we've just gone through for both of your
images and then we're actually ready for the final stage in today's poster design
tutorial soon Photoshop make an a3 sized document with a print profile set up so
that's going to be CMYK and a PPI of 300 now it's just a case of dragging and
dropping your selections onto the poster canvas in Photoshop precising them and
repositioning them is going to be crucial to the final outlook for your
poster adjust the first elections hue here and I'm actually going to go for a
blue color for the first part but you can experiment with different colors and
brightnesses for your design now bring on the other selection and repeat the
process of adjusting the hue colors and the image
this time I'm going to go for read and as before I'm going to increase the
saturation so here is where the effect comes into play for the poster in the
layers panel you can change the blend mode to merge into the image below and I
find that multiply or darken are the two best choices from my pay stare I've got
some neat tips at the end of today's video that are really gonna make your
poster pop and look stylish but for now take the time to play around the
positioning of your images and also the hue and the colors and so forth you
might want to remove parts of the imagery and in doing so you might think
you're gonna need to use the eraser tool however using the eraser tool in this
way is destructive workflow so instead select the mask thumbnail in the layers
window and then select black in the colors palettes you then need to take
the brush tool and to simply draw over the areas that you want to remove if you
make a mistake you can be drill over it using whites and this is why it's better
than using the eraser tool so finally I'm going to show you the finishing
touches of my poster design so firstly I added some texture running vertically
down the poster and I actually have a background layer that is a solid block
color for a very light gray I feel this color works best for my poster design
however I've also got a gray layer over the top of everything with the opacity
lower to write down now this layer over the top makes everything have a soft
feel to it and as you can see by switching it on and off you can see the
difference that it makes I personally prefer having it on my design
but what do you think so yeah have fun and use all of the techniques in today's
video also the steps and the tips to make yourself a stylish poster design if
