Make a Nice Valentines Poster in Photoshop

In today's tutorial we will present how to make a beautiful Valentine day poster in Photoshop. We use amazing color effect and basic Photoshop method. So let's have a look....


Step 1

Start by creating a document that’s 600X650px. Paste in your crumpled paper texture.


Step 2

Now apply a color overlay blending option to your texture background layer.

Color Overlay Settings:

Blend Mode: Normal
Color: ba0000
Opacity: 80%




Step 3

Now create a new layer called ‘highlight’.

Drag out a white to transparent radial gradient in the bottom-center of your canvas. Then change this layer’s blend mode to ‘overlay’.




Step 4

Now paste in your photo of a romantic couple. Cut out the couple using the pen tool:


Step 5

Now to give your poster a more stylized effect, apply a color overlay blending option to your couples layer:

Color Overlay Settings:

Blend Mode: Normal
Color: 000000
Opacity: 60%




Step 6

Now duplicate your couples layer.

Then go to edit>transform>flip vertical and move the flipped couple beneath your main couple.

Then go to filter>blur>gaussian blur and apply a 3.5px strength gaussian blur. Call this layer ‘couple shadow’.

Now reduce your shadow layer’s opacity to 50%.








Step 7

Now create a new layer beneath your couples layer called ‘line’. Use your path tool to create a bendy line stemming up from between your couple.

Now select a 1px black paintbrush (100% hardness). Select your path tool again, and right click on your path. Select ‘stroke path’ to create a bendy 1px line:


Step 8

Now download your heart splatter brush set.

Apply your brush as white, 197px.

If needed click several times for a bolder effect. Then if you’d like to make it slightly sharper go to filter>sharpen>sharpen.


Step 9

Now apply a white outer glow blending option to your heart layer:

Outer Glow Blending Option Settings:

Blend Mode: Overlay
Opacity: 100%
Color: ffffff
Spread: 0%
Size: 10px




Step 10

Now type out the word ‘LOVE’ on a new top layer.

Font Settings:

Font Face: DejaWeb
Color: ffffff
Size: 240pt
Kerning: -50

Then reduce this layer’s opacity to 20%, and change the blend mode to ‘overlay’.
