Colorful Poster

Press OK and then duplicate the layer and right click to rasterize the duplicate.  Remember you can get all of the psd.NET .psd files from the iPSDirectory (hundreds of downloads now available with my Photoshop Designer Package).

Do the same bloating method and once again Save the mesh if you want so you can bring it up later. The mesh by default is invisible but you can Show Mesh in the lower right of the dialog box; either way it's still there. You can also change the background appearance of the dialog box.

If you want to smudge it some more you could try finger painting with the smudge tool but liquify gives you more control.

Here I'm just using the radial gradient on a layer mask (technique shown in other tutorials) to hide the harsh edge of this layer (of the two hawaiians)

.

Right click with the move tool anywhere on the document and you can select a layer to work with or choose one in the layers palette.

Now add some more text but this time in all lower case. We're adding a critic review but purposely integrating it into the design which from a marketer's perspective is always a good move.

Ctrl/Cmd 'T' to free transform and rotate it like shown.

Drag the people layers into a new layer set folder.

Create another layer set and drag your text layers in. There nice and neat.

You should now know how to re-create a very similar poster and understand more about Photoshop and graphic design. Note the very colorful theme and how everything works well together and catches the eye. If you spend more time on it, you can get much better bloats than mine. Those shapes do look like hemp weeds though...
