How To Create a Music Festival Poster Design in Photoshop

[ad_1]
In today’s Adobe Photoshop tutorial we’re going to create a bright and colourful poster design for the fictional Summer Sounds music festival. I recently launched my new Acrylic Design Toolkit over at the Design Cuts Marketplace, so this artwork has been created using a small selection of the items from the pack, which you can download for free in order to follow along.

    Such a great video! One problem I am having, when I Select the Rectangle’s layer mask in the layers panel, then use the shortcut ALT+Backspace to fill this selection with black, and erase some of the square shape, the marching ants of the first shape don't every go away and everytime I want to do something with another layer, the ghost of those orange paint strokes are part of each layer, now. How do I stop that? Thank you for your time!

    Hey mate, thanks for these amazing tutorials! Mind if you explain how you filled the election in black in the layer mask because I'm working on PS CC 2017 on a Mac and when I followed your steps, nothing happened 🙁

    I can-t do when u say, then hold the CMD key while clicking on the thumbnail of the Summer Harvest texture layer to loads its selection. Select the Rectangle’s layer mask in the layers panel, then use the shortcut ALT+Backspace to fill this selection with black, and thus effectively erasing this portion of the shape.
