Well if you're a movie buff of any bearing you would be aware of the looming release of ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’. You would also definitely have seen some of legendary poster artist Drew Struzan's work (bow). His art for this latest movie is classic Jones, classic action adventure, it's brilliant. Hell, everyone should have their own Indy Poster. In homage to Struzan, let's do it.

A quick analysis of a few movie posters - you'll notice a trend in
either warm or cool gradient backgrounds with one highlight.

For this tutorial you'll need:

- One skull or suitable spooky image
- One Aztec/Mayan type carving
- One hero shot, preferably backlit (of course yourself!)
- Shots of rocks, walls, trees, steps for a backdrop
- The SF Fedora Font set (get it here)
A standard movie poster is 27 x 40" (68.6 x 101.6cm) with about 150ppi (pixels per inch) but that's a big file so choose a size that suits.
