Making a Simple Poster by Ps —— Steps of Making a Poster by Zero-based ps

Beginners use ps to make simple posters and match them with colorful characters. The specific steps are as follows:

1. First, open Photoshop and import the portrait. In general, the imported image will be retouched to make the shading and color effects of the image more vivid. Here, select "Image, Adjustment, Brightness/Contrast" to increase brightness and contrast.

2. Execute the menu "Select, Color Range" and select dark tones.

3. After selecting the shadow part of the image, press "Ctrl+J" to copy the shadow part to the new layer, select the original portrait layer, and then proceed to "Selection and Color Range", this time selecting the middle tone.

5. Select the magic wand tool. On the original portrait layer, choose the blue hat and the highlights of the hair. Then press "Ctrl+J" to copy the selected part to the new layer. Police tactical unit and the highlights of hair are the most important features of the characters. Just now, there was no choice for dark and alto, so I'd like to add it here.

6. After the foundation layer is completed, the middle tone layer, hair and hat are merged into one layer and named as "middle tone". Dark tones are named "dark tones". The display of the original portrait layer is cancelled.

7. Portrait combination is completed, and printing effect production is started. Press "Ctrl+N" to create a new canvas, with the width and height set to 1 1 inch * 17 inch, and the resolution is 300 to ensure the printing accuracy. The printing effect of the tutorial can be used not only for this poster production, but also for postcards and word cards.

8. Paste the midtone layer and the dark tone layer into the new canvas, select the two layers together, press "Ctrl+T" to bring up the free transformation menu, and then press Shift to reduce the layers proportionally.

9. Select the dark tone layer that has just been adjusted and perform "Edit Fill". Use black, change the blending mode to normal, and the opacity is 100%. Check to keep the transparent area, also fill the middle tone layer, and choose 50% gray as the color.

1 1. Select two layers, middle tone and dark tone, and right-click to select the merged layer. A brush that produces a printing effect. Creates a new canvas with a larger width and height, but the resolution is the default. Select the text tool, type different layers, adjust their sizes and fonts to make them different, and then set the color of the text to black.

12. Select all text layers, right-click and select Rasterization to change the text from editable state to pixel image, that is, it can no longer be edited, so make sure the size and font of the text meet your requirements. Make the raster text layer into a brush. Turn off the text layer and leave only one layer. Perform Edit and Customize Brushes and name the brushes as needed.

13, and so on, other text layers are still set as brushes, and only one text layer is displayed when setting. After setting, you can find the brush style you just saved from the brush preset.

14, after the brush is set, do the poster design. Select the brush tool and press F5 to bring up the brush setting menu. Select a text brush, check and adjust the shape of the brush tip, set the diameter to 220 pixels, the angle to 0, and the spacing to 494%. The diameter, angle and spacing can be adjusted as required.

15. Set the stroke type and parameters, press "Ctrl+Shift+N" to create a new layer, and then draw various random characters on the layer according to your own preferences.

16. Fill the surface with other strokes as shown below. Don't worry about drawing too much in the process of painting. The following will be modified accordingly. For subtle positions such as facial features, it is necessary to reduce the brush diameter and carefully outline the facial features along the original portrait. After adjustment and modification.

17, at this point, a bit decent. Continue to press "Ctrl+Shift+N" to create a new layer, fill it with white with the paint bucket tool, then move the white layer between the brush layer and the middle-dark tone layer, close the text brush layer and the white layer (key), click to select the middle-dark tone layer, press "Ctrl+A" to select the whole canvas, and then press "Ctrl+C" to copy the currently selected area.

18. Display the text brush layer and white layer that have just been closed, select the text brush layer, click the small button in the layer panel, and add the layer mask. Hold down Alt and click the thumbnail of layer mask, and the canvas will turn white. Then press Ctrl+V to paste the copied area of the medium dark tone layer.

19. Press "Ctrl+D" to cancel the current selection, and then press "Ctrl+I" to reverse the selection. Click on the thumbnail of the text brush layer, and you will see the portrait of the text printing effect.

20, the following is about to color the portrait! First, double-click the text printing layer, check the gradient overlay in the layer style, set the gradient color to your favorite 3-5 colors, choose a good color, and press OK, and the beautiful poster design effect will come out.

How to make posters with PS? First, create a new canvas.

File-new or shortcut Ctrl+N

● Poster settings are as follows:

● The leaflets are set as follows:

Press OK to enter the operation area.

Second, load the image.

It is very important to choose a map. Spray-painted posters are more qualified than hand-painted ones. So choose pictures as close as possible to the theme of the poster. Still fresh and simple. Can be attractive enough. Try not to be too complicated or too dark. It should be noted that no matter whether it is an inkjet poster or a hand-painted poster, the characters are the protagonists. Image is just a foil. 1, ① file placement

(2) File-Open. Drag the open diagram into the new operation area. Note: If you want to drag the opened picture to the newly created operation area, please note that the icon selected in the toolbar is

Note: Toolbar:

This is a new operating area.

2. The loaded image can be resized. ① Edit-Transform-Zoom ② Press CTRL+T.

Note: Keep the image shape unchanged. You can hold down the Shift key and resize the image.

3. If the loaded image is a bitmap (bitmap: the file suffix is jpg.bmp.gif.tif, etc. ), the pixels should be high. At least a few hundred. Because the poster is big. If the pixels are not high after magnification, they will be blurred and the original effect you want will not be achieved.

Zoom in to the actual pixel, blurred, not as clear as before. )

If the loaded image is a vector graph (vector graph: the file suffix is ai.eps, etc. You don't need to pay attention to pixels.

No matter how magnified, the vector diagram will not be distorted and blurred.

The newly loaded image is an adjusted image.

Note: You can view the image after zooming in to the actual pixel through the toolbar.

17.8% represents the actual pixel size of the image displayed on the screen.

Third, add words

The words on the poster are the most important part of conveying information. So the main information such as the title should be eye-catching.

Used for toolbars.

1. Click the right mouse button on the icon.

You can add horizontal text and vertical text. (Masking tools can be learned later)

2. After entering the text, double-click the layer you edited in the lower right corner of the screen.

You can finish editing.

Or click on the tool options bar.

Note: ① Tool Options Bar. You can choose any tool in the toolbox. The toolbar under the menu bar will change accordingly.

This is the tool options bar of the text tool.

There are too few original fonts on the computer. Fonts can be downloaded online. You can also ask me for it.

The same is true of brushes. You can download all kinds of brushes online. Such as clouds and patterns.

There are many resources that can be downloaded directly through the network to avoid complicated workflow, and those who are interested can study further in the future.

Select a font and change the font size and color.

(2) Adjust the parking window plate.

3, add effect to the text

Double-click word layer

Palette (refers to the intermediate workspace)

You can edit the selected text as needed.

Note that when you want to edit a text layer, you must first select it. Even if the text layer is selected.

Blue is selected. Just click the word layer you want to select to select it.

Note: The eyes on the left represent visibility. If you don't need a layer for the time being and want to hide it, just click your eyes.

When you have finished editing the desired layer style, press OK.

I hope you can do it yourself. I won't explain it here. If you have any questions, you can Baidu or ask me.

For example, "fish every year" has been adjusted like this:

Differences in text effects:

4. Transform the text (still on the premise that the layer is selected)

(1) toolbar line selection

Pay attention to the horizontal and vertical directions. Use it according to whether you add a horizontal or vertical typesetting layer.

(2) Edit-Transform-Deformation

Button to change the horizontal or vertical deformation. Press after deformation.

It's done.

5. To move each layer and text layer, please select it first.

Then move the layer and the text layer.

Note: The style and deformation of the text layer also apply to the layer.

Fourth, storage

File-stored as _Shift+Ctrl+S

Select the saved directory, change the text name, and most importantly, the storage format.

There are three commonly used:

① stored in PSD format.

Just press OK. All the layers of the file saved in this way are reserved, and you can edit and modify it on the original basis after opening it with PS. However, files in this format will take up a lot of space. If there are no images to edit, you don't need to save them as PSD to save space. ② Store in JPG format.

Just click OK again, you don't need to change any options. Images saved in this way are very common in JPG format. Small occupied space. General inkjet posters can be saved in JPG format. However, some colors in JPG format will be distorted. After saving and viewing, you will find that some colors are not satisfactory in the previous operation, which is the difference between JPG and the third TIF. In contrast, files in JPG format occupy less space than files in TIF format. ③ stored in TIF format.

The option has been changed, as shown in the figure. It is recommended to store the painted posters in TIF format when spraying in the store. Although it occupies more space than JPG, the color is not distorted.

Note: After painting the poster, it is recommended to save the image in two formats, one is PSD and the other is TIF. The former is to prevent the need to edit changes.

An inkjet poster, the simplest process is probably like this.

Others, such as the functions of various tools in the toolbar and the functions of various options in the menu bar, I hope you can try it yourself during the production process, or ask others if Baidu doesn't understand. Because PS is strong, we are small. I don't know what to say, so I concentrate on practical exercises. Besides, things like tutorials, though seemingly tedious, are really useful. You can draw according to the steps of the tutorial, so you can remember it faster.

Next, let's briefly talk about the functions of several tools.

A, rectangular box selection tool

Select a part of the image to edit. Such as copying, cutting, etc. , and you can also change its color.

Note: color change: image-adjustment-hue/saturation.

Second, lasso tools

Similar to the rectangular marquee tool. The difference is that the lasso tool can choose irregular patterns.

Third, the tool.

Note: If you want to cancel the previous operation.

① Edit-Restore Status Change/Forward/Backward ② Window-History to call up the history window.

If you don't need to cut this step, just click on the deformed text above to restore the state before cutting. You can also click Move to directly restore the state before the deformed text.

Fourth, paint bucket tools

Used to fill the background.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) brush tool

Six, eraser tools

Both can be as the name suggests.

Note: Any tool with a small black triangle in the lower right corner can pop up more tool options by clicking the right mouse button.
