Make beautiful silhouette posters with shapes and brushes

Sketch posters are relatively concise, but need more silhouette material, can use ready-made shapes or hand over some of the desired elements into silhouette material. Final effect

1. First, we'll create a new file. Here we need to set the length, width and resolution. In our example, I intend to use A5 paper size, select "International Standard paper", then choose A5 Size, resolution is selected 300dpi--to print out the picture is clear enough.

2, now the file is created, we first to create the appropriate background. In our example, the top half of the picture is a lighter color, and the lower half is darker, which helps us create silhouette effects. First, we create a new layer (the shortcut key is CTRL + Shift + N) and name it sky. Then use the Rectangular marquee tool to select about Two-thirds of the upper part.

3. Now, with the gradient tool, we're going to create a diagonal gradient in the scope of the marquee tool. Of course, you can use the color you want. In this case, we used the purple, bright red and orange to do it, which fits well with our "nostalgia" theme.
