Problem: Create a Movie Poster for a Fictitious Movie using Adobe Photoshop. 

Solution: Using recommendations by David Colon and Mathew Carpenter I was able to design a movie poster that would grab the attention of the audience. They recommend to use a picture of the main character as a center image. I used mask layers and other tools to hide part of the picture and enhance the color and brightness of it. I also use smart filters effects for the background to make it blend in more. Using adjustments layers I was able to create "fire" and give the audience a little hint about the movie's plot.

Result: I came up with a poster that I enjoy creating and that came up even better than expected. The images blend in and sets the vibe for a sci-fi movie.
