Photoshop Indiana Jones Poster Tutorial

Just text to go
Almost there!  Just the text to go.  For this you'll need the Fedora set which you can find here.

Enter name here!  To this text we'll apply another layer style, this time with a heavy black DROP SHADOW, a GRADIENT OVERLAY (as shown) and a black STROKE.


Now we'll select the text and click the CREATE WARPED TEXT tool in the text tool bar.  Here we can use the ARC selection to bend the text slightly.  Then rotate a little for lift.  Indy would be proud.


Using the FEDORA TITLE font, we can complete the movie title... and our poster!   Drew often uses paint spatter to soften his work, you could mimic this for a finishing touch by downloading or creating your own photoshop brush.  Might cover that in another tutorial.


All kudos to Drew Struzan for this incredible style, his posters have been an integral part of cinema for as long as I can remember.  Hell I grew up on them.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  Look forward to more in the future.

Rick
