001. Open a 700x600 canvas. Fill it with black (#000000)

 

002. Open this photo, desaturate it (colors-> desaturate), rescale if necessary, and position as so:

 

003. Blend the right side of Nana with a 19px fuzzy brush.

 

004. Paste on the other characters' photos and rescale if necessary. Then, cut the photos using the rectangular selection.
Place them in a zig-zag fashion on the right of Nana.

 

005. Cut rectangles from a white fill layer. Then, set the rectangles on different low opacities (10%-30%). Make sure the majority are behind the character photos.  Only one rectangle per character should go in front and should be set at 30-40% opacity. Place text on the rectangles in the front.


 

006. Add this texture and set it on screen. Make sure that it stays at 100% opacity, but you can subtly erase some unnecessary bokeh covering the face or other undesirable areas. There is no need to erase in this case.

 

007. Add this texture and set it on screen as well. It should stay at 100% also because it isn't very obvious. Blend the right away so that there are no obvious edges of the texture on the poster.

 

008. Now, create a layer that is new from visible and put it on soft light. Duplicate the soft light layer.

 

it should look something like this;

 

009. Adjust the curves and levels of the second soft light layer like so:


click "ok" then

after

it should look like this;

 

010. Again, use the 19px fuzzy brush to erase parts of the curve and level-adjusted layer on Nana's face so it is less bright.

 

011. Add text on the very black part of Nana's clothing:

 

012. Open a transparent new layer then select the right of the characters with a rectangular selection and fill it with black.

 

013. Lower the opacity of the new layer, then add the title of the story, credits, and flip it 90 degrees.
