Question by Adam: How can I make a photograph look like a 50’s movie poster?
Retro look is really awesome, if possible I would like a video tutorial
I want to go for the retro horror movie poster look. A great artist that looks pretty cool can be found here http://kyleisez.com/ but i don’t know what textures to use or the other effects to make it look that way

First thing is to look at 50’s posters… search on the net. Toulouse Le Trec was the master of the poster of course, although he was of an earlier time and French. Look at the 50’s movies for inspiration… Look at the colours used; the style of clothing,,,, cigarettes promoted? All sorts of clues relate to the 50’s. You’ll have fun researching…. Is your photo an English or American one?
