 We are going to create a poster for Independence Day. First we need to set
the file size. so I’m just creating a new file and I’ll be selecting film and
video from the prset and here I’ll be selecting HDTV1920 *1080
okay so this will be having a Full HD dimension okay I will start with the pen tool take the pen tool and draw a curve like this and we will drag it here and just complete the drawing and this close it so now we got a closet path now what I am going to do is I have to make a selection from this path so load path as selection now we go to the selection and I want to make this selection to a new layer so created a new layer and I will fill this with a green color which is there in our flag so I selected the green color and
just fill it with the paint bucket tool. okay now deselect. now I want to make a copy of this layer so duplicate and I’ll just move this a little bit up okay and I’m going to change the transparency mode to. okay hard light selected hard light okay now I’m going to use a eraser tool so I’ll be selecting the brush thisI will select this brush.. I am changing the spacing of the brush and just use the brush eraser to start erasing from the bottom side
in a curved shape so that will blend with the shape of the layer
so I’ll erase in that way see we got the layer like this okay now
I am duplicating this layer once again and I am going to do the same proceduremove this up and I am going to change the layer mode into hard light and use the eraser tool and start erasing in the curved way
okay now I am changing the layer mode into I’m changing the layer mode into linear color dodge and duplicating the once again and I am doing the same procedure with this layer also. start erasing using the eraser tool
and change the color more into overlay
so we got these three layers and I’ll be making some arrangements in the position as well as the layer transparency mode.

okay now we got it like this now I am going to do the same procedure with
another layer so duplicator I’ll be moving this support and I am going to
flip this in vertical manner so go to transform and flip vertical
and I want this to mirror so I just go to transform and flip horizontal so we
got the shape in this way now I’m going to fill this with the saffron color
which is there and our flag I just smooth the support and place it
here okay now I want to have the white area to be filled so I am selecting thisusing magic wand tool and just inverse the selection select inverse and I’ll be creating a new layer and there I’ll be filling this with the white color so we got it like this and I will just rearrange the layer I’ll bring this into
the bottom then just above the background layer okay so we got three
colors and now they select change the position of the layer and I’m going to
do all the procedure that we have done with the bottom layer
bring the Ashoka Chakra image from external file so I will be just selecting
that file this is a PNG file so I just selected this Ashoka Chakra
and I’m just dragging this from here to our image okay I am just cross this and I’m just rearranging the layer order I’ll bring this upward so that it will
be visible correctly and I’m just positioning here okay
I’m going to fill the background layer of the Ashoka chakra with the white paint brush so I I use the same brush to fill the background of the Ashoka chakra with white color okay and I’m going to change the transparency mode of this particular layer I selected screen okay now I’m going to open some other drawings from the external file

Just drag and drop it to our file and I’m using the magic wand tool to erase
the white area in this drawing just select and delete to select a guy
used to farmers image because farmers having very important role in India
I’m closing this and I’m going to import another image which is the
picture of stencil image of our soldiers I just drag and drop this here and just
erase the white area soldiers having a very important role
to protect our country so I use these two images based on the concept
and I’m just rearranging the layers
Now I am bringing white dove and I’m just dragging and dropping this into image
and I’ll be arranging it in a beautiful manner to match with his concept
so we got all the element that is required to build the poster and now I
am going to add the text so I want the text to come adjacent to this Ashok
chakra so I am just using the pen tool to create a curve first and after that I’ll
be using the text tool
I’m going to type the 15 August into this curved shape and see I already made
a video on how to create the text effects in my previous film poster
designing series if you haven’t watched that you can watch it from here
above corner and also it is there in the description box
I just type the text and I’m going to arrange this in a suitable way
I need to do further more modification to all the layers so I am just doing
some other layer transparency mores and some other modifications
now I’m going to apply the layer style so just right click here and
blending options so we’ll be getting the layer style options and I’m going to
play a stroke and drop shadow
so this is now applied to the happy Independence Day now I want this the
same effect to the 15th August so just copy the layer style from here and paste this over
the 15 August layer and paste it so we got the same letter for both the
letters now I’m making further more arrangements
in the layer blending options are all
I’m just going to change the color of the Ashoka Chakra means I’m just
matching the color to the original flag color so just adjust the levels a
little bit darker
okay I’m going to make some changes into the
total appearance of this poster so just changing the form and arranging the
layers position
just use the brush tour and filled us with the flags color
I wanted posture to be looked like a painting so I am selecting the text
layer first and just merging this layer to make the effects of oil paint so I
just merge this and go to filter and apply oil paint
and I’m just changing the parameters of the oil paint effect
Now we got the layers as an oil paint effect and I’m going to apply the oil
paint effect to the all layers one by one
now we got our poster of Independence Day and it is extremely looking like an oil paint.
