How Do I Make a Simple Poster in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:59 am

There are a few things you’ll need before you get started on your poster: a subject, some text, and an image (or two). You can find free images online at sites like Unsplash. Once you have your materials, open Photoshop and choose File > New to start a new project.

In the New dialog box, set the Width and Height of your poster. Then, choose a Resolution (this is usually between 150 and 300 ppi).

Next, select a Color Mode (RGB is fine for most posters). When you’re done, click OK.

You should now have a blank document open in Photoshop. The first thing you’ll want to do is add your image to the canvas.

To do this, go to File > Place and select your image. Click Place to add it to the document.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, this tutorial may not be for you. The steps are simple, but if you do not have a basic understanding of the program, you could end up with a poster that does not look the way you want it to.

Now that your image is on the canvas, you can start adding text. To do this, select the Type tool from the Toolbar (it looks like a T). Then click on the canvas and start typing.

You can change the font, size, color, and other attributes of your text using the options in the top toolbar. When you’re happy with how your text looks, you can add more by clicking and typing elsewhere on the canvas.

Finally, you may want to add some finishing touches to your poster. You can do this by going to Layer > New > Layer to add a new layer.

Then use the Brush tool to paint on this layer. This is a great way to add Borders or other design elements to your poster.

When you’re done, save your poster by going to File > Save As.. and choosing a file format (JPG or PNG are both good choices). Now you have a simple poster that’s ready to share!

Creating a simple poster in Photoshop is easy! With just a few clicks, you can add text, images, and finishing touches to make a professional-looking design.
