This is what I’m currently working on. It’s a poster for a movie that a fellow student is creating. The movie is about issues that coloured people face in their everyday lives. I used different pics of coloured people to create the backround and I used the layer blend mode in photoshop to create the effect of the female in the foreground.

I was playing around in Photoshop the other day and I thought wouldn’t it be nice to create one of those “Wanted” American posters but with a little bit of South African pop-culture. So I came up with this idea to use the Tokoloshe , a South African mythical creature , and a little bit of the American Wild West elements.
