TODAY, IMMA SHOW YOU SOME TIPS ON HOW TO DESIGN ROMCOM POSTERS.

FIRST, GET A CLEAN BACKGROUND. I WOULD USUALLY USE WHITE AS THE BG COLOUR. THEN, MAYBE ADD A LIGHT COLOURED TEXTURE LIKE THE ONE BELOW.

THEN, AS USUAL,ROMCOM POSTERS NEED PNG STOCKS. FIND SOME IN DEVIANTART, GOOGLE. OR EVEN MAKE THEM YOURSELF. (I DON'T OWN THE STOCKS , TEXTURES AND CHARACTERS)

FOR THIS GRAPHIC, I WAS AIMING FOR THE SCHOOL KIND OF THEME. SO I ADDED A FEW BOOKS AND A PIECE OF PAPER AS STOCK.

CHOOSE THE CHARACTERS YOU WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN THE POSTER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIND FOR PNG(S). JUST MAKE THEM YOURSELF. DON'T BE LAZY. 

LIKE WHAT YOU CAN SEE, I'VE CHOSEN AN ULZZANG FOR MY GRAPHIC.

THERE ARE A LOT OF WAYS FOR YOU TO MAKE A PNG. IN MY WAY, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO USE THE POLYGONAL LASSO TOOL (KEYBOARD SHORTCUT - L).

TRACE THE EDGES NICELY AND ZOOM IN TO GET THE DETAILS RIGHT. AGAIN, DON'T BE LAZY. IT MIGHT TAKE YOU A LOT OF TIME, BUT THE MORE YOU PRACTICE, THE MORE YOU WILL GET BETTER AND FASTER AT IT.

WHEN YOU'RE DONE OUTLINING YOUR CHARACTER, DON'T DO ANYTHING JUST YET. GO TO YOUR LAYERS AND FIND THE ADD VECTOR MASK BUTTON.

CLICK ON IT AND YOU'RE DONE. THIS IS ONE OF THE BETTER WAYS TO MAKE A PNG IN YOUR GRAPHICS. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CORRECT YOUR OUTLINES WITH A BLACK & WHITE BRUSH WITH A VECTOR MASK LAYER. JUST REMEMBER TO CLICK ON THE BLACK & WHITE LAYER NEXT TO THE ORIGINAL ONE. YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING THAT YOU'VE MISSED OUT, INSTEAD OF HAVING THE CHARACTER CUT OUT LIKE HOW MOST BEGINNERS WOULD DO.
