Photoshop to make a stylish street dance poster

1. Preparation of background; First of all. Create a new canvas. Size customization. But because it's the poster relationship. Better not be too small. What I do is 2000x1200px.

Below find a panorama of the city to do the material.

The main thing is to extract this picture from the building to do the background. Foil a fashionable atmosphere. Drag this material over our canvas layer. Use Ctrl+t to stretch to match the size of the canvas. Perform image > Adjust > Thresholds. Thresholds are set to around 150 or greater. Until the building underneath the screen is black and white. Clear and moderate. Then use a white brush to paint all the black on top of the screen. So we got the look below.

Next we perform the image > Adjustment > Reverse phase.

Make a reflection of the building below. Select the lower part of the frame with a rectangular marquee tool. Copy. Flip it vertically. and put it in the diagram position.

Copy the Reflection layer. Perform filters > Distortions > Glass

The background of this picture should be removed first. and put it in the work we're working on. Attention. Here I am only a person who is entrusted to the past. She doesn't have a background. The other parts of this layer are transparent. This is very important in the next operation.

Just put it up. The position and size are then adjusted.

Copy the dancer layer. It's on the top floor. Performs a threshold effect. If your characters are moderate in intensity. The numeric setting is 128. Then perform the filter > Noise > Intermediate values. Smooth the black and white edges of the characters. Set this layer of blending mode to multiply.

The following layer > Create clipping masks are performed below. can also be ctrl+alt+g. Create a clipping mask for this layer.

Next, create a new layer at the top of the layers panel. Ctrl+alt+g. Also create clipping masks for this layer. Sets this layer of blending mode to color. Open the Swatches panel. Select PANTONE Color Bridge CMYK EC colors in the Drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of the swatches panel. I have a suggestion here. Do not select an append color swatch. It is best to replace the current Swatch. In that case. You will see CMY three primary colors at the front of the Pantone Color Bridge CMYK EC Color board. As pictured. Their order in the swatches is. Yellow. Magenta. Green.

Photoshop Color Board

Select the Brush tool. The pen size is set to 800 left after. Hardness 0 in turn use the three primary colors in the current layer of the position of the character area smear (note. Is the area of the people in the current new layer. Rather than on the layer where the characters are located. This gives the character a beautiful color.
