What are some tips on making a poster?

Tutorial for a commercial poster for glasses?

• i got glasses and i want to make a picture of me with them so that it looks like these images( a poster commercial for the certain brand) http://blogs.ocregister.com/stylescoop/glasses_prada.jpg http://media01.cgchannel.com/images/gallery/3732/1/big200.jpg http://www.sunglassesitaly.com/images/gaeyeglasses.jpg it sorta focuses on their skin and hair and basically face. so is there a tutorial for making my skin perfect like that and applying make up with photoshop since it looks more professional. and if there is an effect to make certain colors stand out like when you put a picture over a picture and set it to lighten to get that color on the picture. if you have other questions or have some tips or questions add me on send me an e-mail to [email protected] thank you.

• Answer:

  the look of the models' skin is a result of a make-up artist, lighting, and digital "airbrushing" in photoshop (which often revolves around the use of the clone-stamp tool with low level opacity). There is no ONE tutorial for what you want to do. If it were easy than there wouldn't be a need for professional studio photographers. I'd suggest learning about lighting and playing with the clone-stamp tool in photoshop. There are some basic tutorials on lighting for photography all over the internet. The clone stamping trick is really all about practicing. Sample an area of skin that matches the tonal range you are looking for (brush opacity around 23%), and hit the spot you want to smooth out. Resample from another spot of similar tonal value and hit the target spot again... then repeat, repeat, repeat until pores disappear and the skin begins to look like plastic.
