hi there!! i’m rly flattered you came to me for advice, tysm!!

idk much abt how to make a tutorial, but i can at least explain some of the things i do when i make posters:

firstly, i try to make sure that the photos i choose fit well together in terms of colours and “business” (as in: make sure that either all or half the photos have the similar levels of minimalism or business - example)

if you find a perfect photo that doesn’t quite fit the others in terms of colours and/or brightness, don’t worry! you can play around with the different settings in ps until it fits the others (my go-to are usually brightness/contrast and selective colour, but there are a bunch of rly useful settings to play around with!)

then i crop and resize my photos so they’re all the same

after that i play around with different colouring psds to figure out which ones make my photos look good! i pretty much always use at least three different ones, and sometimes i play with some of the settings within the psds to make everything look just right

after i get the colouring down i add my text. i usually always put the character’s name, but i switch around what else i put on: book/series, author, any titles the character might have, quotes, it’s pretty much just what strikes my fancy that particular day!

sometimes i stop at this point, but if i feel like the photoset needs a little something, i add a “border” (example), which usually does the trick! (if you need help with how to make a border like that, i’m sure a tutorial can be found on various resource blogs. or feel free to ask! i’d be happy to explain how i do it!)
