So here's my attempt at that movie poster design...what a flop. But this was requested by HawkeyeHale so I figured I'd give it a shot. This is a harder type of edit, but with practice you'll get it just fine. Here's how I did it.
i. open a white background in superimpose (I did gray, but I recommend to start it on white first) and then open this image below as the foreground.
ii. Move the triangle around (and transform it if you'd like, like make it taller/fatter if you wish) and then merge it with the background.
iii. Open the same PNG of the triangle as before and do another layer of the triangle. Merge. Then open your PNG of your first person as the foreground and move it to where it's over the triangle. Erase the part of the PNG that overlaps the first triangle you merged. Merge once again.
iv. Open the triangle PNG once again. Move it to where it looks like the biggest one in the image above and erase around the parts that you don't want the triangle to overlap. You can mess around with the screen settings if you'd rather do this instead (it's a lot easier) merge again.
v. Open another PNG of your other person. Move them to their desired location and erase the part where it overlaps the triangle. I zoomed in to help keep it a straight line, but after this you merge once again. Repeat this step until all the desired people are in the image. (Make sure to erase the person if they're overlapping another person)
vi. For the wolf image in the small circle and the other symbol in the middle one, all I did was upload the images as the foreground and put them on an overlay option (I think I used screen) but after that, make sure to erase the parts where it's not desired and merge. Here's the images I used below:
vii. After I got all of this done, I saved it and added my title and other stuff.
This edit will take time and lots of patience. Don't grow discouraged if you don't get it the first time; this is a hard type of edit. But let me know if you figure it out, I'd love to see it for myself!
Happy editing!
