I have enjoyed looking at everyone’ s creations so much that I decided to make another poster.
1. Found a graphic with the statue of liberty with a flag background and used that as my background layer.
2. Copied and pasted the statue of liberty on it’s on layer. Adjusted the hue/saturation to increase the green hue and added a drop shadow.
3. Copied the torch and placed on own layer. Applied color Dodge at 50%.
4. Duplicated the torch layer. Applied Color burn at 40%. This gave the torch more of an intense glow.
5. Opened a picture of a dove and copied and pasted onto it’s own layer. Added a drop shadow.
6. Copied the red stripes form the flag and moved to its own layer.
7. Copied numerous photos from the web and positioned them on the flag. Once they were in place, I selected the red stripes layer, inverted the selection and then deleted the photos that fell outside the stripes. Now the photos fit perfectly in the stripes.
8. Copied the red folds from the red stripes and made its own layer. Lowered the opacity and placed above all the pictures.
9. Applied a monochrome channel mixer to the stripes to reduce the business of all the colors.
10. Moved the red stripe layer above the photos, changed to screen at 55% to give the photos a hint of red color.
11. Added text. Duplicated text, made red and rendered the text. Shifted the red text over and down and added a motion blur.
12. Added a frame
