Create a Professional Car Movie Poster in Affinity (by Canva) – Pixel Studio

Transform your favorite car photos into a high-octane, cinematic film poster.

Welcome to this step-by-step, hands-on Affinity (by Canva) PIxel Studio creative course! If you have a basic grasp of the Pixel Persona and want to move beyond simple edits to master digital compositing, image blending, and graphic design, you’re in the right place. This class is designed to be completed in one sitting, taking you from a standard photo to a stunning, professional-grade car movie poster.

Whether you’re a "petrolhead" wanting to showcase your own ride, or you want to create a one-of-a-kind piece of wall art for a friend or loved one, I’ll show you how to use selection tools, cinematic color grading, and graphical backgrounds to turn a simple car shot into a storytelling masterpiece.

Why This Course?

Have you ever looked at a photo of a classic car, a modern supercar, or your own pride and joy and thought, "That belongs on a movie poster"? This course provides a "non-scary" workflow to help you master non-destructive editing and photo manipulation. We aren't just retouching; we are building a brand. By adding colored shapes and graphical elements, you’ll learn how to create the bold, stylized backgrounds seen in modern automotive advertising and action film posters.

What You’ll Learn

We will move step-by-step through the entire creative process, covering:

  • The Professional Setup: Creating documents with the right resolution for high-quality printing.
  • Cutouts: Using selection tools to cleanly isolate the car and remove distracting backgrounds.
  • Graphical Backgrounds: Creating colored shapes and geometric elements to build a stylized, professional backdrop.
  • Seamless Image Blending: Combining your car with new environments using masking for a believable composite.
  • Cinematic Color Grading: Matching the lighting and tones so the car looks perfectly integrated into its new scene.
  • Typography & Branding: Working with text to create bold film titles and a simple text-based logo.
  • Print-Ready Exporting: Saving your final work as a high-quality PDF for the wall or a JPG for social media.

Who This Course Is For

Hi, I’m Tim – a designer, former university lecturer, and creative software trainer based in London. This class is ideal for:

  • Car Enthusiasts who want to turn their automotive photography into professional art.
  • Gift Creators looking to make a unique, personalized birthday or anniversary gift for the car lover in their life.
  • Beginners with a basic knowledge of the Affinity interface.
  • Adobe Photoshop Switchers looking for a fun, practical project to practice the Affinity Pixel workflow.
  • Students of my Affinity Essentials course looking for a quick, high-impact project to sharpen their skills.

The Project: Your Ride on the Big Screen

You’ll apply everything you learn to a single, high-energy project: The Automotive Movie Poster. I’ll provide high-quality resource files, but I highly encourage you to use a photo of your own car (or a friend's!). By the end of the course, you’ll have a polished, print-ready file that looks like it’s ready for the cinema lobby or a garage wall.

Next Steps

By the end of this class, you’ll have the technical toolkit to turn any vehicle into a high-end photo composite. I can’t wait to see the posters you develop - don't forget to share your project results in the gallery!

Your resource files, project templates, and my personal layered Affinity file are all available in the project section below for your reference.

Transcripts

1. Welcome to this Create a Car Movie Poster Course: Do you have anybody in your life that really likes their car and would love to see themselves and their car in a movie poster? Of course, maybe that's you. Well, you're in luck because what we're going to do with this whole class is we're going to build a movie poster, and we're going to take a car, we're going to take a person, we're going to put them together with a graphical background. I'm going to take you through everything step by step in affinity. In the final project, you're going to take a photograph of yourself or the person that you want to put into the poster and their car. And you don't have to have amazing camera equipment. You can just do this on a phone. That's what I did. And you're gonna put this together in your own custom poster. What are you waiting for? Let's get started. 2. Create a New Document: Let's start a new document. I'm going to go to File and New, or you might already have this window open. It might look something like that. If you've never used affinity before, you can just click on the Plus to get to where we're going to be. Now, we're going to create something which can be printed out. And what we're going to do is we're going to go to the page sizes over here. So you've got page sizes RGB. And page sizes CMYK. Now, if you are creating something which you're going to be printing at home or you might send it to the local shop around the corner to get printed out, you can probably use one of these RGB pages in there. Going to be printing something and you're going to be having hundreds of them done and it's going to be a commercial job, then I would go with the page sizes CMYK. Now if you haven't done this before, CMYK stands for si Magenta, yellow and black, and that is how commercial print works. Those are the colors that they print with the inks. RGB is red, green, and blue, and it's great for screen use, and it also works really well for home printers. Now, I'm going to choose A three in there, and I'm going to go and click Create Document down there, and that gives me my document ready to be created. Get that far. It's really easy, and then we're going to the next step. 3. Create Graphic with Pen Tool: Let's start on the background. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go down to the pen tool down here. And with the pen tool, I want to choose black as the color that I want to fill my shape with. So you can do that either by going down here, there's this little circle of color. And if you click on that bottom circle, you'll find that you can then choose different colors from in there. Let me just do that again. So if you go in there, double click and we can then pick black in there, or you can do it up here. You can click on that it'll square there and choose your black from there. Now, what we're going to do is we're going to start right at the top over here. Now you can see as I move around with the pen tool, it shows me the center point over there. It shows me the top. If I go over here, it shows me where the middle is. There's the middle over there. The smart guides can be quite helpful. But we don't want to go from the middle. We want to move just across a little bit over there, so maybe a third of the way in there. I'm just going to click once. You don't have to hold down. In fact, you shouldn't hold down. You just click once. Now, when you move your cursor around, it'll kind of follow you. As I said, don't click. And we're going to move down over here. Now, I want this line to be perfectly vertical. So I'm going to hold down the Shift key, and you can see how it just changes that to vertical or 45 degrees. I'm going to go to roughly halfway down. Doesn't have to be perfect, but if you do want to be perfect, you can go until you get to that little smart guide. I'm still holding down the Shift key, and then one click over there, I'm going to let go of the shift key now and I'm going to then move down to this corner. Click on that corner, you can see how nice it sort of snaps into that area over there. And once again, click over there and back to the starting point. If your cursor and your objects don't snap, there's some options along the top here. If you click on that drop down menu, you got all sorts of snapping things you can switch on and switch off, and then just make sure that the little magnet is switched on like so. So there is our first part or first half of the shape. Have a go with that. Use the pen. You can change the color later if you wish. If you want a different color, you can just go in there and change it. But we're going to use black for this. Try that out. 4. Flip the Graphic: Now we need a second one of these. So I'm going to go and find my layers panel. Now, I can see my layers panel up over here, and I'm just going to pull it out. But if you can't, you can go to the window menu, and your layers are under the general window menu options. You can go in then you can find your layers in there. Now, as you can just about make out on my layers, I've got one little shape over here, one object or layer. If I just show and hide, that's it over there. What I want to do is I want to make a copy of that so we don't have to draw the whole thing again. So I'm going to right click on the layer and I'm going to choose duplicate. So I've now got two of them. Now, this top layer that I've clicked on here, I'm going to move that across. I'm using the move tool, and I'll just move it across. To that side. Obviously, it's the wrong way round. So I'm going to go to the layer menu. I want to actually use a range, and I'm going to say flip horizontal, and that'll flip it around like this. So we've got the two shapes in there, and at any time, you can go to a shape. Maybe you've done one version of this, and you think, Oh, well, what about if we did it with a red wedge shape? You can just go along there and change the colors in there to anything that you like. As I said, I'm going to keep mine on black. If you do wish to have a color behind this rather than the white, what you can do is you can use a little shape, rectangular shape, draw in a shape, over the top of everything. Oops, got a bit too far there. Change the color of that shape. So let's make that lime green and drag that layer underneath the other two. Now, if you've never done this before, be careful when you're dragging, drag it down until you see, can you see that little sort of glow type of orange under there? Not just that, but a glow and drop it there, and that'll place it underneath those two. And likewise, you can always go to that color and you can change it to anything that you wanted. Like so. I'm not going to be using that. I want mine to just be pure white. But if you want to, that's fine. If you want to get rid of it, just go down here to the bin and click on the little bin in there. Have a go and get to that point. 5. Cut Out the Car: Let's go and find the car to bring in in the background. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go to File, and I'm going to choose place and then find the picture of the car. Now, I've provided the car for you. Obviously, if you want to use your own car or, you know, a member of family or friends car, that's absolutely fine. Or one that you found online. No problem at all. Here's the car picture. I'm going to click Open. And now, what happens? Well, all I've got to do is click and drag to bring that in. I want the car to be big enough but not huge, it's going to be in the background. So I'm looking at something along that size over there. Now that we've got that, we want to cut the car out because we don't want all this extra space. So we're going to go along to this little cut out tool called the Object Selection Tool. Now, you can see the little clock appears in there while the software analyzes the car picture. Now, if you find that you can't use this tool, what you can check is that you go along to your settings. Now, on a Mac, it's affinity and its settings in there. On a PC, settings are in the file menu down here. So you want to find settings. And under settings, you need to go to machine learning models, and the segmentation needs to be installed. So make sure you install it in there. You don't need to worry about these ones over here. These are all from the paid for Canva version, or if you've paid for Canva version, you can get to those, and they are things for AI. But this is the one that we want. Make sure it's on there. And then as you move over, you can see how it selects different parts of the document. We're going to go to the car and just click on the car and see what gets selected. Now, it hasn't selected everything, so let's zoom in. I'm using Control plus or Command plus depending on whether Mac or PC to move in a little bit here. And if I move over here, you can see that although it thinks it's selected everything, it hasn't just going to click again, and there we go. We've got a really good selection in there. Now, if you're selecting items, and I'm just going to deselect this over here and do it again, if you've selected something and you want to add your selection, make sure you're on the Add button over there. If I did that, for example, this one here, and I clicked on the sky and then I wanted to add in the ground, you can see it just adds it in straightaway because I'm on that one. If I'm on this one here and I click on the sky, go back to there, and then click the ground, it just replaces the sky with the ground selection. So anyway, make sure you're on that second one. I'm going to just deselect, which is Control or Command D to deselect, or you can go along to the pixel selection and choose deselect in there. Let me do that again. I'll hover of my car until I see the whole thing appearing. I think that looks like it's about it. Click over there, and if I want to if I've missed out something, I can use the little Add button to add that in. Now that we've done that, what we're going to do is to cut this out, and the easiest way to do that is to go down here and just add a mask. So right down here, there's a little mask icon. It's a square with a dark circle in the middle. If you just click on that, it just adds a mask and cuts out your shape. You don't need those dotted lines around there anymore, so you can go along to the pixel, pixel selection, and deselect. And then my car is done. Now, we'll change it a little bit and lighten up a bit and put some headlights on it shortly. Anyway, have some fun with that. Get your car in there, and then we will take this a little bit further. 6. Adjust the Car: Now, we can move this car around, but have a look what happens. If I've moved it, it's like, Why on Earth is that going so weird? I'm going to undo that, so I'm going to use Command Z or Control Z to undo. And that's because I'm on the mask, not on the car. So if I click on the car, now you can see I can move the whole thing around, although you can see that bit of land there is not masked in there. So I'm going to place my car back where I want it. What I'd like to do is I'd like to lighten the car up a little bit. So I'm going to go along to the pixel menu. I'm going to do a new adjustment layer, and I'm going to use a very simple brightness and contrast over here. And you can see with my brightness, I can lighten the car or I can darken it in there. I can change the contrast to make it very contrasty or very flat. You can see that's contrasty there or flat there. Now, this whole design is very graphical, very stylized. So I'm going to go a little bit more contrasty on that. I'm not too worried about losing the detail of the wheels into the black over there. That's absolutely fine. And the lights over here, they'll be covered up because we're going to switch them on, so to speak, very shortly. But, you know, you can try it out and do whatever you want, whatever works really well for you over there. So do have a bit of a go with that. Remember that this is an adjustment layer, so it affects everything underneath it. Now, you can't see any adjustment on things in the background because I've only got black and white in there. But if you used a color in here, you might find that this brightness and contrast affects the color in the background, too. If that happens, you can take this brightness and contrast and drag it onto the car layer. Just over there onto the name is and let go. That will put it inside that layer. You'll see this little arrow there if I click on that. It's now inside that layer over there, so it'll only affect that layer. If you have a black and white background like mine, you don't have to worry about doing that. Once again, get to that point. 7. Add Lights to the Car: Let's bring in some lights. We'll a light, and we'll put the light into the front of the car. So I'm going to go to File Place. I'm going to find a light. Once again, I provided these for you, but you can find them anywhere, as well. It's just a photograph of the front of I'll just do it like that. The front of something of a light like that. You could even take your own if you wished. Now, what I want to do, and I'm going to zoom in to do this. I'm using Command and plus or Control and plus to zoom in, is I want this to be, well, actually, about the size of the light. It's a bit too big, there, so I'm going to scale it down a little bit like that. I think that sort of white area there should be just slightly smaller than the light, something like that. And then I'm going to I've only got one, by the way, and I'm going to end up with four. But what I want to do is I want to get rid of all this extra stuff. I just want this little little glowing area. So I'm going to use in the selection tools, I've clicked and held on the rectangular marquee to go down to the elliptical marquee. I'm going to move to the middle of the circle, and I'm going to click and drag, but we want to try and get a circle, so I'm going to pull out over there. And I'm making this circle not that much bigger than the little white circle in the middle. So something like that. Now, I'm going to go along because I want to soften this out. So I'm going to go along, and I'm going to soften that edge. And to do that, I'm going to go to refine. Let me just show you what it'll look like if I don't soften it. If I put a mask on, we're going to get something like that. That looks horrible. It looks like, you know, you've got the sun or beach ball in the light. I'll just undo that. So to soften the edge, we're going to go up to the little button called refine. And over here, where it's preview, we're going to change that to transparent so it'll kind of show what it'll look like on the image. And then we're going to use a feather. Now, feather will soften the edge. You can see as I'm pulling it out, it's just getting really soft over there, so we get sort of almost a glow around the outside in there. If I'm happy with that, I'll click on Apply. Now, it's gone back again, and it's still showing the dotted line. Why is that? Well, that was just making the feathering. What we now need to do is to go in and add a mask. This is the mask button over here. You just click it. And you got your mask. We can go ahead and deselect that now. So pixel selection and deselect over there. Let's move it into the light position. I'm going to use my move tool. Now, don't forget, make sure you're on the layer, not on the mask. That's the mask. That's the layer. So the layer goes orange. It doesn't with the mask. It's the same as the car. If you were on the mask and you moved it, you'd move the mask, not the glow. So now I can move it into the right position. There it is on there. If you think it's a little bit too bright, you can always go to your opacity and reduce the opacity slightly so you can see a little bit of light behind it. Now we need three more of those. This is where it gets really easy because all you do is you hold down now, depending on whether you're Mac or PC, you can hold down the Alt or the option key. Sometimes it even works with control, but I'm going to go with alter option, and I can just drag a copy of that across to there. Once again, hold down the alter the option key, drag another copy to there, alter the option key, one more copy. On that side there. This one's not quite in the right place, so I'm just going to click on that layer and move it along. You can actually even use the arrows on the keyboard to move things around if they're incorrect. We'll just zoom out a bit and have a look. Yeah, that's pretty much what we were after. Do have a bit of a go with that. Just be careful with these masks when you're working with them, make sure you're on the layer, not on the mask. And when you want to copy something, you just make sure you're on your move tool. Hold on the alter the option key and drag it to make a copy. Try it out. A 8. Cut Out the Figure: Now what we need to do is to go to the file menu and choose Save As. Those of you who have done my courses before will know that I'm the world's worst at saving. So I'm trying to be good now. I'm going to choose Save As to give it a title I'm going to call the street car and save it wherever I can find it again. That is your editable file. So now if you do happen to crash out, you've still got the editable file there. And as you're going along, don't forget file and save all the time. Let's bring in a person. I'm going to go along to file. It's going to be pretty much the same. Use place, find the person that I want to place. There they over there. I'm going to click on Open and bring them in at the correct size. Now, I only want to use one of these people, so I'm going to make him about the right size, I think, something like that. I'm going to use the left hand person. Over there. And then we're going to select him as well. Using the same technique that we did with the car, object selection, I'm going to move across onto him. Click to make sure he's selected, Zoom right in to check that all the bits that I want selected are actually selected. Once you're ready, click on the mask button to mask him out, and we'll deselect him pixel and deselect. 9. Darken & Desaturate the Suit: If you were happy with the way that your person looked absolutely fine. Leave them like that. But I'm not. I think I would like to have his suit and his clothes being really dark, pretty much black, actually, to kind of match the background. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to select them, and I'm going to use an adjustment to adjust the lightness and darkness and also to remove any color from his clothes. So how do I select them without actually doing it to his face and hands as well? Well, the easiest way to do it is to actually select his hands and face and then invert that selection, which then means that his hands and face will not be selected, but everything else on his layer will be. Let's have a look. So I'm going to go along here to the selection tool and I'm going to use the selection brush tool. Let's zoom in a bit. So once again, Command plus or Control plus to zoom into his hands. Now, this little tool has a size over here, and you can choose the size of the brush that you're going to be using. And when you click and start to paint, you'll see that it actually just paints very quickly over the area, and as you run over it, it floods that area with the selection. But this should be using a brush. I'm going to just deselect that and zoom in a bit further. There, there we go. You can see my brush now. I'm going to change the size, make it a bit smaller because it was a bit too extreme before, and then click and it floods that area. Now, his nails over here haven't been selected, so I'm going to use a much smaller brush over there to just paint over them to select them. If you find there's something like that, which you don't want selected, well, remember, you can always go back to your freehand selection tool go to subtract and just manually subtract that bit. Over there. Let's do his face. I'll just zoom out a little bit over here or his head. So I'm going to go along once again to the same tool. I'm going to use the selection brush tool. Maybe a bigger brush this time, so I'll click in there, make my brush a bit bigger, and I'm going to start to paint around. Now, why is nothing happening with what I'm doing? That selection is still there. It's because I'm on the subtract option. Make sure you're on the add option over there. By the way, that was a genuine mistake. I thought I was on the ad. So go to the add option there, and now you can click and you can paint in these bits over here as well. So I'll just paint on there, paint over his ear. It actually doesn't matter if you slightly go onto the background, it's fine. Just paint those in. You might have to subtract some bits if you've gone too far. We'll zoom out a little bit like that. So now his hands and his head are selected. If I go to the pixel menu down to Pixel selection, can actually invert that selection over there. So now the opposite area is selected. And if I were to now go along to pixel new adjustment layer and did some brightness and contrast, you'll see as I change the contrast on him, his suit is changing, but not his face or his hands. The fact is the cast changing behind him as well, but we'll deal with that shortly. So I'm going to maybe increase the contrast and take the brightness down so we get a very dark suit like that. If you want to get rid of the color over there, while that selection is still there, you can go along to pixel, new adjustment layer, and you could use HSL. That's hue saturation and lightness. And you can just pull the saturation down that desaturates the color until I get a very almost black suit. Now, that's ruined my car, but we'll fix it. Let's deselect that. So once again, pixel selection deselect. Remember, if you want something to only affect one layer, you just drag it into the layer onto this named area and it will only affect that layer there. So those two adjustments are now only affecting him, not the car in the background. You can always click on this little arrow here to see those extra adjustment layers, and you can switch them on and switch them off if you want to make any changes to them. I know there was quite a lot in there. You don't have to do this to your image. I just wanted to darken down his suit and to show you some of these adjustment layers with an inverse selection. But if you do, try it out and darken his suit down. 10. Create Your Movieitle: Let's put the title of our movie along the top, and I'm going to call mine street car. You can call yours anything you like. I'm going to make a shape to put that on. I'm going to use a rectangle. So I've just clicked and held on the little shapes there. Go to the rectangle tool, and I'm going to click and drag a little rectangle in there. You can choose any color that you like for that. I can go in there. I could even use the eyedropper tool. Ritzes right at the top there, and then move across to the car and maybe choose a color directly from the car itself. And once I've done that, in here, I could choose to maybe darken down that color if it was a little bit too bright. I'm just going to darken down just a fraction. Now that I'm happy with that, I'm just going to use the move tool and make sure that it's absolutely in the right place over there. You can see as I'm moving it around, it's snapping to the middle of my document really easily because my snaps are all turned on. The other thing I want to make sure is that I don't have a little black line around the outside of this because there is a stroke on there, which is a black stroke. If you click on the black stroke, then choose the little nun button. That's this white circle with a red line through it, that will make sure that there's no stroke on the outside. Done that, we can get some text in here. So I'm going to go down to my text. I'm going to use some artistic text. Honestly, it doesn't matter where you put this text, but I'm just going to go in there and click. Now, by just clicking, it kind of puts in this funny little line in there, and if I choose you see my text is really small. Let me do that again, but I'll show you what to do. So same tool again. Instead of clicking, click and drag. What that does, it puts an A in there so you can see the size that your text is going to be. So I think something like Streetcar in there. I'm going to select this text and then choose a different typeface. The typeface you choose honestly doesn't matter at all, as far as the outcome goes, but it's important for the feel of the movie. I want something very simple, so I'm going to choose this all round gothic. You can pick anything you like. And once you've done that, what we're going to be doing is we're going to be changing some of the options on here. So I'm going to go to the window menu. I'm going to go down to text, and I'm going to use character because there's more options in here in the character than there are along the top. The one that I'm interested in is in position and transform, and it's this one over here. It's called tracking. Whoops, wrong one, I'm showing you. It's this one over here. It's called tracking. So with tracking, if I increase the tracking, what you'll see is that those characters go further apart. And we get something which looks far more cinematic than just normal text. While I'm here, by the way, I'm going to change the color of the text, as well. So if we just move that into the right position first, so I can see it properly, I think, something like that. Once again, I'll select the text over there and go and change the color. You can see we've got some color in here. It's black at the moment. I'm going to choose white. Over there. Let's have a look at see how that looks. That's looking pretty good, I think. I'm happy with that. Have a bit of a go, get your shape in the background, maybe sample a color from the car or from the suit or clothes, whatever you like. Put some text in. Don't forget to use the character panel, which is in the Window menu under text and character. Open up position and transform over there, and we're using, the one on the left this time, which is called tracking and just increase the distance between those characters. But I did all of this using the artistic text tool, you just click and drag to get your character the right size to start off. Have a go. 11. Add Strapline Text: Let's get a bit more text down here, so I'm going to click in there. I put in my new bit of text, Max speed. And let's have a little sort of space between those. Max style. Now, it is quite long, so I'm going to select it all. Now, I've closed that window down, so I'm going to go to window once again back to text, find my character options, and I'm going to just take this back to zero again. Over there. And I also want a different typeface over here. So I'll go back over there, something not quite so stylish, just a little bit more normal and easy to read. It's up to you whatever you want to do with this. I will just choose something really simple like aerial in there. And I don't want to be bold. I just want to be regular like that. Now, we can just grab a corner as well over here and just resize it. Back again. Change the color. Well, we can change the color down here as well. There's so many ways of doing the same thing. I'm going to click on that color and change that over to black. If you want different color, absolutely fine and up to you. I'm going to put in another little bit of text down here and then we'll do a logo together. 12. Create a Text Logo: I've got a little bit of text down here. Now, the way that I did this was I got this from an AI, and I just asked it for 50 words on this movie poster and it came up with something not bad. But then to bring it in, I used the little frame text tool, clicked and dragged a box, and pasted straight into that box. And that way, when you move this around, the text will just reformat itself and flow into that shape. I'm going back to my move tool and I will just delete that. Let's put in a little logo at the bottom. I'm going to call this car flick. For one of a better word, you can make up anything you like. Pretty much the same as the main title. We'll just click and drag. I'm going to put in car flick. And I'd like to use the F over there. I like doing little logos with the middle letter being really large. I want to take that, and I'm going to increase the size of that. Now, over here, you can see I could just pull it up like that. And make it as big or as small as I like. Do be careful, though, if you do something like this, sometimes you get these really big gaps over there, and they don't always look quite so good. I mean, mine doesn't look good at all. So if you take it much bigger, then what you can do is you can click between those two items between the F and the L. I'm going to go to my window text character. I'm going to use this option over here. This is tracking with tracking, I can use a negative. You can see how -50 moves it in a little bit. But I'm just going to keep going to minus quite a lot more. And you can see how we can sort of bring it in. So we've almost got the F being larger and over the top. Now, I'm not saying that that's a great logo by any stretch of the imagination, but it's great to be able to play around with letters like that and make some of them bigger, some of them smaller, and just pull them apart, as well. I think with this one, I'm going to make that smaller like that, and I'm going to put it into a little circle. So I will just use one of these shapes here, a little ellipse, drawing my little elliptical shape. If I'm holding down the Shift key so I get a perfect circle over there. I'm going to just choose black for that circle. So I'll go over here and click on that. Make that black. Move it across in front of my text. And you can use the arrows on your keyboard to move it around where you want. Now, I'm going to go to the layer menu, arrange, and just move that circle over here to the back. I could have done it manually like that as well, so we can either move it back one, which I did or back right to the very back, which is underneath everything. Of course, this is still not right. I need to go to my text, change the color of my text. I'll go down here once again, click on that and make the text white. So we've got kind of the text reversed on that little shape. Now, why have I been putting everything in the middle like this? Well, I think for this particular style, the having everything mirrored just works so well. So we've got those two. One shape mirrors the other shape. He's down the middle. The text mirrors each other with Mac speed Mac style. This goes across both of them in there, and it just adds to the whole style of this particular movie poster. If you want to try it out and, you know, you want something slightly different and you thought, Oh, what about if we, you know, moved him over there? By all means, have a go. There's no right or wrong. With this, I've just done it because I know that this sort of centering objects works really well. Now that you've got that, put your text in over there, and then we'll export this out. 13. Export as JPG or PDF or PSD File Types: Let's go to file and save. I hope you've been saving as you go along, unlike me. And what I want to do is I want to go to File and choose Export over here. So if I'm just exporting it around and I want to email it to a few people, they might print it out on their home printers. Well, I could use quite happily a JPEG file in there. As long as I go with the best quality over there, it should look absolutely fine when it's printed out. Of course, we might want to go with a PDF document over here. And from PDF, we can then choose PDF for print, and this will also give us a high quality PDF document. The other possibility is that you send it to somebody and they say, Well, you know, we don't have affinity. Could you do something that we can open up in Photoshop? Well, if that's the case, you can just go down here and you can choose PSD. And with PSD, we will preserve the editability in there. And that way, they can then open up in Photoshop and change things around, should they wish. Whichever way you choose to go about that have a bit of a go, try more than one and see what you get. But I'm going to go with a JPEG best quality over here. I'm going to go down, click on Export and just export that out where I can find it again. In my case, it's going to be the desktop. So we'll have a quick look at that and here it is. Finished JPEG file. Ready to print on my home printer. Try it out. 14. Well Done & Thank You: Congratulations.
