Inspired by the same topic than yesterday’s poster — space —, I continue to explore this subject with a poster design which finally look like a science fiction movie poster.
The Design
There was a long time I didn’t use the hand of Apollo in a poster, and I decided to fix this with poster 189. As I previously stated, I wanted a spatial atmosphere, something dark with some touch of lights. I firstly set a dark background and created a circle with a thick stroke filled with a light blue to dark blue gradient which helped me to suggest a planet. Secondly, duplicated the stroke layer and added some Gaussian Blur Filter on it that I sed with different blend modes.
Then I placed the hand in the center of the canvas and added an adjustment layer above for change his color. But it didn’t work because black and white image have no color to change. So, I go to Image, Adjustments and Selective color to change the greys into the blue I wanted.
To polish the design I drew some geometric shapes with a thin white stroke above the hand as well as a strange circle above its finger. I also add a cloud layer on the “planet’s stroke” and a light in its center.
Speed Art Poster #185
Another spatial design that I hope you appreciate! If you are there, I think you liked it!
Like every day, you can take a look at to the speed art poster, if you want to know which options I hit during the creation process.
Thank you again for being there and see you for poster 190.
