As always start with opening photoshop. Download image, open it with photoshop crop the bottom part of her and save it as psd file. We are ready to go. I first started with duplicating the image layer and changing it blend mode to multiply. I mask out the face areas to make them a little brighter then the rest of the image. You will lose some details after replacing skin so i use burn tool to paint some shadows on these areas.

Next Part is changing the eye colors. Its really a simple job. Create a new layer, zoom in to eyes, pick up your brush, set your color to red and paint over pupils of the model. After finishing set layer blending mode to overlay.

Now let’s change the skin texture. Download image and bring it to your photoshop document. Resize to fit it. Change the blending mode to overlay again and mask out the parts other then her skin.

I want to show you how to change the color of her skin. Create a new layer on top of everything and fill whole layer with #032f0f. By using previous mask (that we use for skin texture) mask out the unwanted areas. Change this layers blending to color, duplicate it and change duplicated layers blending mode to multiply.

This time let’s change the color of hair. Pick your brush tool, with color #e1b9ff and paint over her hair. This time set your blending mode to soft light.

Finally we will change the lips color. Create a new layer again and by using your brush paint over her lips with the same color as you do with her hairs. Then set your blending mode to color this time. And it’s done.

We will be creating lots of layers and you can easily lost track of them. After this warning lets create a new photoshop file with dimensions, 1200 x 1050 pixels.  By using your gradient tool, with colors set to #7e8aa2 and #263248 fill your background layer with linear gradient.

Lets go from top the bottom. For navigation part, use your rounded rectangle  tool, set radius to 30 and create a rounded rectangle. Move your rectangle to top of your document. As seen on image you will only use bottom half of it. Then apply fallowing layer effects to it.

Next we are going to add navigation text and logo.  I’m going to use a basic text for logo. Font is impact and colors are #ff9800 and #263248.  I use arial bold with color #263248 for navigation.

For separators use your pencil tool and draw a 1 pixel line with color #263248. Then duplicate this layer, go to layer effects and using color overlay change its color to white. Finally use move tool and tap left arrow one time. It will push it 1 pixel left.

For featured work image crate a new layer, using rectangle tool create a white rectangle. Choose an image, bring it to photoshop free transform to fit your design. So far you should have something like this.

Create a new layer on top of the image. By using rectangle tool create a black rectangle bottom of the image.

Lower this layers opacity to %25. Add some text.

This is what we are going to design

Open up photoshop and create a new document with transparent background. Sizes are not important but i choose 620 x 877.  Basically i divide the size of A4 paper to four. I choose transparent background because i like to control the background when i am starting with a new design.

First start with background layer fill that with color #ba0606. Download this Sand Texture and open it in photoshop. Choose select all and copy  and paste it to your psd. From layers panel choose multiply as blending mode. You can resize texture layer by hitting ctrl + t or from the menu edit -> free transform.

For the stripes at background we will use brushes. Here is a great Risingsun Brushes including the stripes that i used on this poster. Create a new layer top of the background and texture layer, pick white as your color and apply brush. This time you will set blending mode to overlay and opacity to %16.

Finally, create a new layer on top of all and call it gradient. Take gradient tool choose black and white colors and pick up radial gradient. Start from the middle of the page and go all the way up. Set the blending mode for this layer is to overlay and opacity to %35. With this gradient we add color detail to our composition.

Next we will add images to our poster.  Download image 1 and image 2. We will be using the amp on image 1 and the girl on the image 2. But first we need to remove backgrounds. My favorite masking technique is using quick mask. Copy, paste and resize images to position them. Next by using layer mask paint the backgrounds. A little trick for that is use soft brushes on the edges. When you finished right click to your layer masks and select apply layer mask. So far you must have something like this.

Use your favorite grunge font for the top part. I’m using VTKS Distress. We are almost finished. Photoshop brushes are great for finishing touches. You can use your own brushes but i use Spooky Brush Set for birds, Tribal Brushes for the models belly tattoo, Splatter Brushes for splatters.
