TIP 1:

Although these steps run more like a tutorial than an assignment, keep in mind that I am not trying to restrict your creativity. For example, I am giving some specifics such as "choose black background; add 2 people, etc."  However, if you feel comfortable enough with the software, you may alter some of these steps. Just don't ignore the instructions completely. For clarity, here is a checklist for your final design.

TIP 2 :

How to Submit

Upload both the Photoshop (PSD) and the JPG versions to an assignment dropbox called "Movie Poster."  I want the Photoshop version so that I can see your image layers.
