Gig Poster Design Step 39

Last updated on December 6th, 2019

The poster designers love to create gig posters as these allow them to play with imagination and do something interesting with the poster design. If you know the band’s music and its inspiration then let loose your imagination and you will have a poster with full of creative elements. Often, gig posters are abstract with a lot of expressions.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create one such poster design quickly without spending much time and effort on it. Though gig posters are generally illustration based, you may not have the time to create a custom illustration. Therefore, we here work on a photo based gig poster design.

Steps for Creating a Gig Poster Design:

In Part -1 of the tutorial, we finished importing a picture for the gig poster design and then incorporating a root. In Part-2, we give a new image to the poster with the help of the pictures of the tree, root and birds in the sky for a desired message. Now in this third and last part, we will finally complete the gig poster design by incorporating some new images and giving our poster the looks that are sure to evoke the desired emotions.

Step – 1

Import a spherical object and incorporate it as Layer 4 so that you can work on it to further enhance the poster’s impression. You have already rearranged the birds and tree in the poster for the desired impact.

Now, if you wish to get some nice boundaries for the gig poster in white, then first get a blank document with selected outlines.

Step – 7

Now, get another selected line just inside of the outer line of the document so that you can get a white border for the poster.

You have the white border between the two selected lines at the border of the poster as Layer-6. Use paint bucket tool at the left bar to create the white space.
