hi. this is marty from blue lightning tv.tourism posters from the 1930s and 40s were powerful, beautifully crafted images thatembodied clean shapes, bold, vibrant colors and iconic images. i created this one andwill show you how to create your own custom poster using the techniques in this tutorial.you can use your own photo, however, for the purpose of this tutorial, i provided thisimage, so you can follow along. its link is

open your crop tool. at the top, open the width, height and resolution. click the "clear" button. in the resolution field, typein 300 pixels per inch. this resolution is high enough to ensure that your image willbe sharp if you decide to print it. uncheck "delete cropped pixels" and click the checkmark to accept it. go to image and image size. notice the resolution is 300 pixels per inch.make sure the mode is "inches" and make sure the chain-link is locked, which locks itsaspect ratio. choose a width or height that you want for your poster. in this case, i'dlike my poster to be 16 inches wide. its height
automatically adjusts to the width. sincei want my poster's height to be 10 inches; not 12, i'll click cancel and in the widthfield, i'll type in 16 and for the height, i'll type in 10. drag your image to a positionwher you want it cropped and make sure there's enough room for your text. at the top, check"delete cropped pixels†and click the checkmark. to check its size, go back to image and image size. the width and height of your image is now cropped to your specifications. it's always a good idea to make a copy of your image or convert it into a smart object . in this case, we'll make a copy of it. presss ctrl or cmd + j.
go to filter and filter gallery. to see your entire image, reduce its size until you do. open the artistic folder andclick "cutout". i'll make the number of levels: 8, the edge simplicity: 6 and the edge fidelity":1, however, feel free to experiment with these amounts to get the combination that looks good to you. if you want to make the sky into a smooth gradient, first, open your magic wand tool. make sure "contiguous" is checked and make the tolerance: 45. clickanywhere on the sky. to include areas that
didn't get selected, shift-click on them toadd them to your selection. press "q" on your keyboard to convert the selection into a quickmask to make sure your entire sky is included. then, press "q" again to revert it back into a selection. open your gradient tool. click the linear gradient icon and the gradientbar to open the gradient editor. . click the lower, left stop and the color box, whichopens the color picker. click the bluest area of the sky to pick up its color. to make ita bit richer, click the top and to the right in the color window and click ok. click thelower, right stop, the color box and this time, click on the bottom of the sky. then,click ok on both windows.
go to the top of your document and press and hold shift asyou drag a straight line to the bottom of the sky. to deselect it, press ctrl or cmd+ d. next, we'll start adding text. i'll be using these retro fonts in this poster. ifyou'd like to use them, i provided their links, as well. open your horizontal type tool. sincethe first character of my word will be here, i'll click here on my document and make surethe left alignment icon is highlighted. choose a font. i'll use "decotech tl regular". don'tbe concerned about its size at the moment. type your first word. to change its color,highlight your text and click the color box to open the color picker. i'll click on acolor in my poster to use for this word. then,
i'll click ok. to enlarge your word, clickyour move tool and open your transform tool by pressing ctrl or cmd + t. drag it to ageneral position and go to a corner. when you see a diagonal, double-arrow, press andhold shift as you drag it out to a size you like. pressing shift retains its aspect ratio.when you like its size and position, press enter or return. double-click on an empty area of your type layer to open its layer style window. click "stroke" and the colorbox. click a color on your poster that you'd like or your stroke and click ok. i'll make its size: 14 pixels.
keep in mind, you may want to use different amounts than i'm using in this tutorial, especially if you're using other fonts or another image that has a different size and resolution. i'll make the position: center and click ok. open your type tool again, click below your other text and type out your other words. to change its color, highlightit and click the color box at the top. pick up another color of your poster and click ok. to adjust its size, as before, click your move tool and open your transform tool.
i'll position it and enlarge it. i'll add another word using the font, "geomancy extra bold". we'll add a gradient and a stroke. as before, double-click on an empty area of your typelayer to open its layer style window. click gradient overlay and the gradient bar. click the lower, left stop and the color box. click on your poster to pick up a color and clickok on the color picker. click the lower, right stop, the color box and click on another color. click ok on the color picker and the gradient editor.

open its layer style window to add a drop shadow. next, i'll show you how to make your text easier to read by simplifying the area behindit. make your poster image active and open your pen tool. in this example, i want thearea behind the text to be a dark, brown color. so, i'll make a work path surrounding thearea that i'll be filling in with the new color. right-click directly on the path and click "make selection". make the feather radius: 0 and click ok. press "i" on your keyboardto open your eyedropper tool and click on
a neighboring color that you'd like to fillthe selection with. notice, your foreground color changed to the color you want. to fillin the selection with this color, press alt or option + delete. then, deselect it. lastly, let's add a white, outside border surrounding our poster. we don't want to make it an insideborder because it'll cut off important areas of our poster and be to close to our text.we first need to expand the width and height of our document. to do this, go to image and canvas size. your current size is indicated here. in the width and height fields, addanother half inch to their sizes. make the
canvas extension color: white. then, clickok. to fit your poster on your canvas, press ctrl or cmd + 0. this is marty from blue lightningtv. thanks for watching!
