Methods/steps
The poster must first decide the layout of the poster, that is, the aspect ratio (for example, 5:3 or 10:7), and then choose the background that conforms to the aspect ratio. Here, a ready-made background is used as a demonstration, and no more processing is needed.
After opening the background picture with PS, copy a background picture layer (customary operation), and then create a new blank layer.
Next, text materials will be used. The text can be edited by the text editing function of ps, or you can use the material file. Here, the material file is used first. Put the text material into the blank layer, then adjust the position and confirm the placement.
Mask with the color range of the mask, hide the white background of the text, and put the text in the poster.
Then select Filter, External Luminous Filter. Make the text stand out. (Of course, what special effects and words are used according to personal aesthetics)
After editing the theme text, add some detailed text with the command of Add Text.
Finally, add some small decorations (such as flying crows) so that the poster is finished. Of course, this is just a simple demonstration, so it's just a very rough work. Of course you can make more beautiful works.
Professional application
A simpler method is also introduced, that is, using specially designed applications to generate posters. That is, you only need to provide background pictures and text content. A method of typesetting the layout and format of characters by software. First, choose your favorite poster layout.
The subsequent process is very simple, and then add a background picture, modify the text content and text color. This is very simple, so I won't introduce it much. The reason why I bring this up is to tell you that as long as you like something, even if you have no foundation, you can start from zero, and then you will get better and better. Second: enter the editing state in standard mode (the button on the left of the penultimate line of the toolbar is standard mode. By choosing between the two buttons, you can quickly switch between the quick mask mode and the standard mode, or you can use the shortcut key q).
Third, click the color box in the toolbar to pop up the color picker dialog box and set the foreground color.
Fourth, create a new layer (layer 1) and fill the layer 1 with the foreground color just set.
Fifth, change the layer mode of layer 1 to "color". Here, there are many ways to change the image tone. Layer mode is used here, and you can see the effect without drawing.
Sixth: Click the upper right corner of the color box in the toolbar to switch the foreground color and background color (X), and then click the color box in the toolbar again to pop up the color picker dialog box and select light gray. (Gray is custom here)
Seventh: Create a new layer (Layer 2) and fill it with the selected light gray. There is a reason to choose gray here. It is different from white, and their gray values are different. You can try it yourself. The effect of adding mottle on white canvas and gray canvas is different, so I won't explain it in detail here.
How to make posters with ps? Steps of ps making posters
First, open the picture that needs to make a poster.
Shrink the picture and drag it onto the canvas.
Make a mask with the color of the mask.
Let the background disappear, then choose the green pole, and a simple poster will be made.
Extension: design principles
1, alignment principle
In layout design, alignment can make the visual effect uniform, and the layout looks clear, neat and orderly, which is very suitable for beginners. In the principle of alignment, it also includes left alignment, right alignment, center alignment and both ends alignment, which can make the picture more neat, clear and orderly.
2, the principle of contrast
The principle of contrast is to put different colors, shapes, sizes, lines and other elements in a layout, giving people a sense of visual emphasis and more organized information content.
3, the principle of noise reduction
In a poster, except the background itself, generally no more than three colors and fonts are used, which can make the whole poster look more concise and clear, and will not give readers visual pressure.
4, the principle of blank space
Blanking was originally a common technique in China's artistic creation, which means that in the artistic creation of calligraphy and painting, in order to make the picture and composition of the whole work more harmonious and exquisite, the corresponding blank was intentionally left, leaving room for imagination.
How to make a poster with ps Whether it is a poster or any other form of graphic work, you can change the resolution by setting it in PS. To make a poster, the most basic thing is composition. Consider layout and size first.
Generally speaking, posters to be printed need a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. If you only need 72 on the computer. The color mode to be printed is set to CMYK, and the RGB mode is displayed on the computer. Set the size to 800X600 and start drawing. Of course, you can change the size of the canvas appropriately. Remember to always keep complicated posters. Because the PSD file size of a poster is often tens of meters, temporary files will consume a lot of memory. Look for material on the internet after you have conceived it. Unless professionals can draw their own pictures (pictures are also copyrighted), they can make their own posters according to their personal preferences. Posters are usually saved as pictures in JPG format.
If it is for commercial use, you need to know how high the resolution of the poster you want to print is. For example, sometimes some photos only need about 50 resolution for inkjet. However, some prints require a resolution of more than 300. The higher the resolution, the more space the document takes up. Of course, everything depends. If you make a poster of ordinary class paper. I suggest that your resolution is 300. In addition, the resolution of the material picture should not be too low, otherwise it will be blurred after stretching.
The specific setting method is to create a new file, and then change it in the resolution column. You can also change the open file by right-clicking the top of the file box, selecting the resolution column, and entering the corresponding resolution number. (First, in the drawing size, set the length and width to the actual length and width of your poster. For example, if you want to print a poster with a size of A 1, set the length and width to 84 1×594mm (slightly larger). Then, set the resolution to 100dpi. If your computer is fast and has a large memory, you'd better set it to 10 dpi. If it is not fast enough, you have to retouch and change the picture many times, and it is also possible to set it to 80dpi. Try to use some vector pictures and vector lace, and the effect is very good.
Then add the design part, try the color gradient and relief effect, and then try a more personalized font, such as seal script, or design it yourself. In addition, the poster must highlight the consciousness of "point", which makes people feel eye-catching and attractive.
