PhotoshopCAFE Design Challenge 15

This is our 15th annual challenge here at the CAFE. These contests are run to stimulate the design juices and bring a little healthy competition among us. Our contests are different because the gauntlet thrown down is a real-world challenge, kind of similar to a client request (But without the rounds of annoying changes).

The winners will walk away with prizes and respect from the design community. Remember – everyone wins, because you get to show off the best of your talents and fill your portfolio at the same time (And thousands of people will see your work).

The rules

Design a Movie Poster with Photoshop as the theme

550 pixels (Wide) x 750 pixels (tall)

Design a Movie poster. You must incorporate something Photoshop related in your movie, be it a spin on a tool name, filter etc.

This can include an original illustration, photograph, photomanip, collage, whatever you like, as long as Photoshop is used somewhere in the creation of the piece (and you have the rights to the artwork used).

Props for wit and cunning! Use any original artwork you desire. You may use any tools or platform you choose, but you must use Photoshop for at least 50% of the Image editing/design. Photos are acceptable, credit the photographer if you’re not the photographer.
