In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create a professional and beautiful poster. I will tell you the basic idea of creating a poster, interesting techniques and teach you by my example. I’ll tell you about a few filters of the new version of Photoshop and their capabilities, and show how to create a realistic picture, a beautiful toning to the image and much more.
What you’ll be creating
In this tutorial we will examine the possibility of creating a realistic picture, atmospheric effects, work with adjustment layers, create brushes and most importantly try it all in action. First, I will create a background. Of several images I make realistic city and add clouds and color correction. Then I added the model and adjust image with the filter “Camera Raw”. Then will create the effect of rain on clothes. The next will be to create an atmosphere and detail to the image. The final step will be to increase the sharpness and color correction. It is desirable to have a Adobe Photoshop CC but you can completely create this picture in any CS version.

Step 1
So, before beginning this tutorial I want to do a little introduction. The poster is an art. As in every case, there are certain traditions and rules. Many people do not notice it, but the effect is always there. There are 8 basic items that should be in the poster: 1. Weapons. 2. Clouds/Smoke 3. Buildings. 4. Fragments/Debris/Sparks. 5. Atmospheric phenomena (like rain). 6. Ambient/Edge Light. 7. Fire/Explosion. 8. Main Character/Object. Each poster must be at least 5 items to achieve the desired effect. All of these elements in are alternately occur in any poster, regardless of genre or idea. I chose the following sequence: Weapons > Clouds/Smoke > Buildings > Main Character > Edge Light > Rain.
And now opening Photoshop and get started! Create a new document via Cmd/Ctrl + N or File > New at 2400 pixels wide and 3000 pixels height, resolution 300 Pixels/Inch.
Step 2
Go to File > Place…/Place Embedded and open skyscraper image. Transform it (Ctrl/Cmd+ T or Edit > Free Transform) to size of working field and tap Enter/Return to apply changes.

Great tutorial but the skyscraper link goes to a search result rather than the image used in this tutorial

Anton, you should download some of her PSD files so you can see what’s she’s doing. It’ll help you learn PS faster.

Great Tutorial. Ive been working on my weaknesses, and photo manipulation is one of them. I never even used some of the adjustment techniques in this, so that was a real eye opener. Camera Raw was really cool. Very powerful.

I couldn’t find the skyscraper image from the link provided
-
WOW. These comments are amazing. Did anyone even do the tutorial? How about the part with the first step where you have to download the skyscraper image, and how it’s not actually available in the link provided…. ? Do we just try with another image that looks kinda similar? Is this tutorial meant to be a “rough guide” ?
-
I’m looking forward to trying this exercise out with some of my students.
-
This kind of work is common, there are several works in this style.
It would be very interesting if the owner of the website to publish creative tutorials.

For goodness sake why a gun? Such barbarity and not anything to celebrate or glorify. Go take a picture of something less banal and more inspirational.
-
This is simply wonderful composite work…just one correction she’s not a Sniper as she’s carrying a customized M4 Assault Rifle with Reflex sight & Sound Suppressor attachment..

Oops! By the way here is a small list of artworks that were long time ago previous to your artwork and they are very similar to your. http://nenoc2.deviantart.com/art/Demonia-Web-387514487?ga_submit_new=10%253A1374561982%29
-
Maybe because they used the same stock which is a model on deviantArt :) .
and she allows others to use her photos. -
Then, what is similar in these photos. http://phelandavion.deviantart.com/art/Olesia-Anderson-STOCK-III-515126408

Kayla Davion is one, but the characters are different.
-
I don’t get why you are panicking :)
-
When a man rolls up to a lie, he loses his face. I panic because there are no more men.
-
No, you are showing 2 things by that attitude.
– you Need to grow up
– you have no self confidence :)There is nothing in the world says to attack others work in order to maintain yours. :)
Although if you just focused alittle. if i say that i did something similar , it would mean that i like yours.
but as i said. you just need to mentally grow up (Y)
Cheers.
