This is my dodgeball flier (There is really going to be a Dodgeball tournament, so sign up!)
First: On a different document I fixed up the background picture of the gym,
I took Punky out of the picture using the Clone Stamp Tool (he was by the main door),
I also took out half the lights on the ground in front of the picture (I didn't take them all out cause it didn't look natural, so I left half of them there), then I re-sized the picture going to Image, to Image Size, then changing Document Size to 11x8.5,
Next thing I did was I slipt the screen so I could see the gym picture and the white paper of the flier, I then clicked the gym layer and drug it to the flier document,
So then I de-split the screen and exited out of the gym picture.
I next made a new text layer, and wrote DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT
Text:
Font Style: Copperplate Gothic Bold
Size: 48 pt, Color: Red, Extas: Bold, TT
{I added a Drop Shadow,}
Blending Mode: Normal, Color: Black, Opacity: 91%, Angle: 120, Distance: 12 px, Spread: 22%,
Size: 9 px, I didn't change the Quality.
I also copied the text layer got rid of the FX, then added a Sketch filter,
Style: Graphic pen, Stroke Length: 15, Light/dark Balance: 48%, Stroke Direction: Right Diagonal
I then hit ok to apply it, and then changed the layers Opacity to 27%.
I also wrote (on a new layer), $30 PER TEAM (5 PEOPLE PER TEAM),
Text:
Font Style: Arial
I had to different Font sizes, The bigger Size is 36 pt and the smaller is 21 pt,
Color: Yellow-Orange (Goldish)
{I added a Stoke}
Size: 2 px, Position: outside, Blending mode: normal, Opacity: 100%, Color: Black.
After I had the text and the background together I then started to act stamps that I made on a seperate document, I did have some problems with the pictures that I was making the stamps out of being copy-righted... So I ended up looking for some free stamps on line that were for commercial uses.
After that big ordeal, I started with the kids and mat in front of the flier.
At first I had a kid throwing a ball from behind the mat (but the whole copy-right thing...),
so I had the mat on a different document and I used the Magic Wand and Quick Select Tool to select all the mat. I had to keep changing the Tolerance on the Magic Wand to get it to select most of the yellow of the mat, I then used the Quick Select Tool to get the rest of the mat, I came across a problem with not being able to not select some of the floor, so instead I made sure all the mat was selected and then pressed Ctrl+J, to get it on a new layer, then I took the background easer and took off the stuff around the mat that I couldnt get off with the Quick Select Tool. Then I put a dropshadow on the mat (still on a seperate document),
Blending Mode: Normal, Opacity 75%, Angle: 87, Distance: 16 px, Spread: 6%, Size: 24 px,
I then had to make the picture size to 11x8.5 (using the same way as I did with the gym picture), other wise the mat would have been JUMBO on the flier and it would have been kinda hard to down size it.
Next though I split the screen so I could see the Gym and the Mat, then drug the new layer with inly the mat and drop shadow to the flier document. After it was on the Flier page, I returned the screen to normal on the Flier and moved the mat to the bottom left corner.
After the mat and after I downloaded the silhouette stamps, I took two that I thought would fit by the mat and, placed then there using the Brush Tool, I also had to resize them so the looked porportioned with the mat and were they were standing on the floor. I took a kid that was cruching down in front or the mat and a new layer (front kid), and I put a kid that looked like they were throwing a ball behind the mat on new layer (kid throwing ball), I then took the Mat layer, right clicked the picture icon thing, and clicked select pixels, then I used the Curves tool on the mat to brighten it up, Top Dot: output: 255 input: 191, I also added another ball that I had in the stamps I downloaded, it looked like it was flying in the air so I put that in front of the wildcat (trying to make it look like the one kid threw it).
Next I rearranged the the layers so they were:
Kid throwing ball, Mat, curves (for mat), front kid, flying ball.
After that I started to add kids in the back of the gym, First I added the kid in the middle (on a new layer, [kid about to get hit]), using one of the stamps I downloaded, I resized it to way small, till I thought it looked about the right porportion, then opened a picture of a yellow ball I had taken a picture of, on a new document, I took the Elliptical Marquee Tool and placed it over the ball pressing shift and occasonally the space button to move the circle so it fit perfect around the ball, I then pressed Ctrl+J and made a new layer (yellow ball), I resized the picture to 11x8.5 (same way I did for the Mat and Gym), then split the screen to the flier and yellow ball and drug the ball layer to the flier, I kept the ball selected went up to Edit, Free Transform, the I pressed Shift (so the ball didnt change shape, only size), and I made the ball super small so it looked like the kid was about to get hit with it. I then right clicked the yellow ball layer icon and clicked Select Pixels, then I went to curves and changed the top dot: output: 255, input: 232. Next I put the kid a kid on the left (in the back) on a new layer (kid just standing), I did the same as the other kid, I made him porportionate to where he was standing, then I opened a different picture of a red ball on a different document, and took the Elliptical Marquee Tool and used the shift and space button to make it fit around the red ball, I then hit Ctrl+J to make a new layer, next I split the screen again, and drug the red ball layer over to the Flier document. Next I went to edit, free transform (while the ball was still selected) then resized the ball to super small, while also holding the shift button, next I renamed the ball layer, ball on floor. The next kid is standing on the side lines (he is out), on a new layer (sidelines), I also took him from the stamps I downloaded, I resized him, and then selected the pixels and went to edit-transform-perspective, and turned him so it looked like he was facing the court. Next I took everything I had done so far on the flier and went to curves and adjusted it to Output: 255, Input 227.
The last thing I did was add the DECEMBER 22ND on to the bottom.
Text:
Style: Arial Rounded MT Bold, Size 72pt, Color: Red, I made the ND a little higher than the 2 also.
I then added a drop shadow and changed the blending mode of the text,
Blending Mode: Overlay
Dropshadow:
Blending mode: Liner Burn, Opacity: 100%, Angle: 72, Distance: 11, Spread: 52, Size: 3, Color: Blank.
Finally I was done! I had most problems with my stamps being copy-righted, after I had already put then on and was almost finished with the flier... =/ I also found out if you do a drop shadow in one thing then another the angle of the drop shadow is the same even if you try to change it. All in all I enjoyed making the flier.
And I hope lots of people come to the tournament!!
