Rodeo Poster

Very a lot of time put into this... The only item which i didn't consider thoroughly was the white text at the bottom, but i thought it would have been okay to leave it white because its just the fine details that people will read after their interest has been gained by the attractiveness of the oil brush effect on Cody and the layer mask on the RODEO.

Final:

In this grunge art i used 7 different adjustment layers, 1 high pass layer, 2 layer masks, and 3 different total effect layers. In the adjustment layers i utelized curves 4 times, black and white, hue/saturation. I also used pass through blending mode, vivid light, and multiply.

I used refine edge tool and quick select tool to accurately select cat's 1 &2 in order to make their fur stand out a little bit and highlight my refine edge tool skill. I then made them into silhouettes and selected their outline and expanded it a little then moved it to the right and erased the sides which were poking out so it looks like polar opposites as a shadow. I then moved them together and put the black cat in front of the white cat. For the background i made a layer with two of the rainbow gradients and then in another layer selected all of it and used a style to design the pattern. I then blended the rainbow gradient layer and then created a duplicate of the superbackground, inverted it and then used another blending change.
