PPV Poster Competition: Extreme Rules

[Daniel]

Exciting. Enigmatic. Exuberant. These are words that could be used to describe this competition. But the best would probably be "late". Yes, it's the PPV Poster Competition: Extreme Rules. Design a poster for the show and the best one gets... well, the best one doesn't get anything. Apart from forum-wide acclaim and some rep. Maybe.

The rules are simple. No plagiarism. I'd recommend the size be 500 x 400 pixels for a conventional poster. But if you want to deviate, go ahead and bloody well deviate.

So let's see what you've got, graphics makers of WrestleZone Forums!

Yes! I love these competitions. I hope I'm in with a chance.

I basically started with a black canvas and added the middle pic and the white lines. Then I added the right hand side picture, duplicated it and flipped it. I merged them all together and edited them a bit.
I then added the logo, filled it white and on a new layer gave it a red stroke. I put a Gaussian blur on the stroke and added a smaller black one. Then I did some cloud brushes on top of my three main images.
I was gunna add a border, but I went and checked some recent WWE posters and saw they didn't have one, so mine doesn't either.

Thanks

I started off with a black canvas then I added a layer of different brushstrokes. Then I lowered the opacity on the brushstrokes.
Then on top of the 2nd layer I added different weapons such as Chairs, Ladders, Trashcans etc. I then added The Miz and gave him a little gradient under opacity 10 or 15% not sure.
Behind the miz i added a render of Cena which i erased some of the edges. On top of the layer of cena i added Orton RKOing CM Punk since CM Punk vs. Orton will be featured on this card.
On top of all those layers I added a logo of Extreme Rules, and played around with it.

Hope you guys like it!

OK, this is my entry. Yes, Extreme Rules was a week ago. But "better late than never" and all that jazz. This was originally going to be a CM Punk poster (hence the size not being 400 x 500), but sigmaker's block made me convert it into an Extreme Rules poster.

I did this a while ago so I can't remember all the details. I believe it is the Chicago skyline in the background. I put in CM Punk and messed about with the image to make it look dark and grungy. I put in the three background stripes because, well because I could. They're set to overlay. There is some grunge brushing in there too. I put in the Extreme Rules logo, changed the colour using the colour balance tool and erased some parts to blend it in more. A few adjustment layers followed, and then it was simply a case of putting in the text.
