How to make a poster Want to learn simple PS Make a simple poster with colorful characters with PS. The specific steps are as follows:
1. First, open Photoshop and import the portrait. In general, the imported image will be retouched to make the shading and color effects of the image more vivid. Here, select "Image, Adjustment, Brightness/Contrast" to increase brightness and contrast.
2. Execute the menu "Select, Color Range" and select dark tones.
3. After selecting the shadow part of the image, press "Ctrl+J" to copy the shadow part to the new layer, select the original portrait layer, and then proceed to "Selection and Color Range", this time selecting the middle tone.
4. After selecting the midtone range, press "Ctrl+J" to copy to the new layer.
5. Select the magic wand tool. On the original portrait layer, choose the blue hat and the highlights of the hair. Then press "Ctrl+J" to copy the selected part to the new layer. Police tactical unit and the highlights of hair are the most important features of the characters. Just now, there was no choice for dark and alto, so I'd like to add it here.
6. After the foundation layer is completed, the middle tone layer, hair and hat are merged into one layer and named as "middle tone". Dark tones are named "dark tones". The display of the original portrait layer is cancelled.
7. Portrait combination is completed, and printing effect production is started. Press "Ctrl+N" to create a new canvas, with the width and height set to 1 1 inch * 17 inch, and the resolution is 300 to ensure the printing accuracy. The printing effect of the tutorial can be used not only for this poster production, but also for postcards and word cards.
8. Paste the midtone layer and the dark tone layer into the new canvas, select the two layers together, press "Ctrl+T" to bring up the free transformation menu, and then press Shift to reduce the layers proportionally.
9. Select the dark tone layer that has just been adjusted and perform "Edit Fill". Use black, change the blending mode to normal, and the opacity is 100%. Check to keep the transparent area, also fill the middle tone layer, and choose 50% gray as the color.
10, which completes the effect of the two layers after the above two fillings.
1 1. Select two layers, middle tone and dark tone, and right-click to select the merged layer. A brush that produces a printing effect. Creates a new canvas with a larger width and height, but the resolution is the default. Select the text tool, type different layers, adjust their sizes and fonts to make them different, and then set the color of the text to black.
12. Select all text layers, right-click and select Rasterization to change the text from editable state to pixel image, that is, it can no longer be edited, so make sure the size and font of the text meet your requirements. Make the raster text layer into a brush. Turn off the text layer and leave only one layer. Perform Edit and Customize Brushes and name the brushes as needed.
13, and so on, other text layers are still set as brushes, and only one text layer is displayed when setting. After setting, you can find the brush style you just saved from the brush preset.
14, after the brush is set, do the poster design. Select the brush tool and press F5 to bring up the brush setting menu. Select a text brush, check and adjust the shape of the brush tip, set the diameter to 220 pixels, the angle to 0, and the spacing to 494%. The diameter, angle and spacing can be adjusted as required.
15. Set the stroke type and parameters, press "Ctrl+Shift+N" to create a new layer, and then draw various random characters on the layer according to your own preferences.
16. Fill the surface with other strokes as shown below. Don't worry about drawing too much in the process of painting. The following will be modified accordingly. For subtle positions such as facial features, it is necessary to reduce the brush diameter and carefully outline the facial features along the original portrait. After adjustment and modification.
17, at this point, a bit decent. Continue to press "Ctrl+Shift+N" to create a new layer, fill it with white with the paint bucket tool, then move the white layer between the brush layer and the middle-dark tone layer, close the text brush layer and the white layer (key), click to select the middle-dark tone layer, press "Ctrl+A" to select the whole canvas, and then press "Ctrl+C" to copy the currently selected area.
18. Display the text brush layer and white layer that have just been closed, select the text brush layer, click the small button in the layer panel, and add the layer mask. Hold down Alt and click the thumbnail of layer mask, and the canvas will turn white. Then press Ctrl+V to paste the copied area of the medium dark tone layer.
19. Press "Ctrl+D" to cancel the current selection, and then press "Ctrl+I" to reverse the selection. Click on the thumbnail of the text brush layer, and you will see the portrait of the text printing effect.
20, the following is about to color the portrait! First, double-click the text printing layer, check the gradient overlay in the layer style, set the gradient color to your favorite 3-5 colors, choose a good color, and press OK, and the beautiful poster design effect will come out.
I have praised it.
I stepped on it

What are the creative skills of poster design? 1. Select black as the poster background. Usually, we are used to designing posters on white canvas. However, some visually interesting posters will avoid the white background and use black. If you use black, you can consider printing information and pictures with metallic ink or even bright white, so as to make an eye-catching poster. 2. Simple, simple and beautiful young designers are often keen to fill every corner of the canvas. But you don't have to do this. Simple works of art are often the most beautiful. The poster shown above is very beautiful, but it doesn't use complicated graphic elements. AnthonyLane designed these posters only by combining photos with key content. Refine and simplify your poster in this way, and only select the most critical elements and contents when making, and you can create elegant and exquisite graphic design works. 3. Add personalized fonts. Professional design is not limited to conventional fonts and neat layout. Try to use a font full of personality and rebellion, and eventually you will get a bold and personalized work (made by FAUPE) like the poster above. If you have enough time, take out a marker or any other writing tool you like, write down what you want to write, and create a decadent handwriting for your poster. Believe me, your handwriting is much more interesting than you think. 4. Using grid grid is one of the most useful tools. You can use it to create and design professional and neat works. Create a grid of your own posters to control the design, and you can make a professional design work like the above case. Once you design a grid as a solid foundation, you can use different font sizes and some simple design elements. You can use monochrome or complementary colors to create color contrast, as in the example above. 5. Try black and white photos. Are you still struggling with the photos for the poster? Turn it into black and white. This effective method can make elegant posters (as shown above, works designed by Sgustok Studio). When you are dealing with the photos on the poster, you should carefully consider how to cut them. The part you decided to cut out conveyed as much information to the audience as the part you left behind. 6. It takes you a lot of time to decide how to use and match these colors and how to apply them to your works. It is particularly troublesome for beginners in design. If you are only familiar with color and design, try to reduce the colors in your palette and don't give yourself too much burden. Try to match black, white and bright colors. Use bright color as the main color, white as the auxiliary color, and black as the emphasis color, just like the above example. 7. Reduce complexity and simplify it. Take LucasD_rre in the above picture as an example to make everything as simple as possible. Make sure your photos are of the highest quality and the typesetting is accurate and ingenious. Don't be obsessed with adding fancy decorations, just start with the basic elements. Don't focus on creating and adding some design elements to your poster. Keeping the basic content as much as possible is an effective way to make beautiful works. 8. Collage and cascade design elements and creative masks, or collage design elements increase the visual interest of posters. I don't know what I'm talking about. Refer to the poster case above. In this poster, there is no three-dimensional font. You can see a B-shaped mask display image, which is related to the copy on the poster. 9. Choosing the classic method is unwilling to take risks? Then try the classic method. Arrange regular black fonts on a white background and use interesting pictures or illustrations as the background. If you want to add some fun, adjust the opacity, as shown above. 10. Try to feel retro. Not all the works you design should conform to the current aesthetic trend. Retro works can be as eye-catching as fashionable works. Don't you believe it? Look at this amazing poster made by JessicaSvendsen. 1 1. Imitate movie posters Some of my favorite posters are made to promote excellent movies. Refer to the posters of your favorite movies or get inspiration from countless movie posters. The reliable solutions they provide won't let you down. I don't understand what this means. Look at the poster case above. Doesn't it look like what you saw in the local cinema? 12. Clear and fuzzy mashup I like the poster above, which combines clear and regular fonts with fuzzy background. This method can beautifully create unexpected visual contrast. Similarly, look for different methods, such as using filters and some processing methods to create beautiful and amazing design schemes. 13. Highlight the content with bold pictures. The poster shown above is part of RossGunter's personal project. For this project, he created a series of posters, which all adhere to the principle of "two core elements, consistent layout and a large number of graphics". Similarly, bold graphics are used to add vitality to simple layouts. You can break your own grid by using a large font or a large picture that exceeds the page. 14. Play with opacity. Put the color gamut layer by layer on the photo and adjust its opacity, and it will present a simple and modern style as shown above. Pay attention to the different colors used on different elements. Choose a bright color for the top element and a dark color for the bottom element. This will keep your different design elements from being confused. As far as the above cases are concerned, if the colors of the font and the color block are exchanged, the title can't be seen clearly. 15. Show your products. I like the square chairs arranged on the poster of Tournaud Company. If you are designing posters for one or a series of products, you can consider putting your products in the center. You don't have to list the photos of the products on the poster. You can draw some illustrations for your products like Noel Company. If you have a series of products, you can use a grid to arrange them, as shown in the case. This will not only help you arrange the content, but also save design time. In the end, your graphic design works will be balanced and coordinated. If you only make a poster of a single product, you can enlarge the illustration to fill the page. 16. Outside the page, all the elements in your poster are not strictly limited to the printed page. Let it overflow or fill the page at will. In this way, you will create fashionable and beautiful visual effects, such as the colorful work above Kui Malin. 17. Unexpected typesetting Like this case you saw, surprise your audience with some unexpected typesetting. Break the set grid or place titles and references completely at will. Finally, you may get a work as pleasing to the eye as the poster of Amman laboratory.
