Yahoo! I have a poster!

Yay! I now have a poster! After having experimented with all sorts of design possibilities (and failing), I have finally decided to settle on the one I have now. Rather than doing a collage of photos, I used Photoshop's "type mask" tool to create the word SHIOK from various pictures taken in Little India and Chinatown.

Meanwhile, I used the "magnetic lasso" tool to cut out my roommate from the jumping shot photo and borrowed her active form to serve as the exclamation mark after the word 'shiok'.

I played with various backgrounds of the overall poster, but as the type masked word was already very colorful on its own, I ultimately settled on good old solid black so that the word would be able to stand out even more. Then, I added the word 'culture' towards the top left of 'shiok' so as to balance the diagonal direction of my roommate's photo.

I'm pretty pleased with the overall look, if I do say so myself.

But next comes the hard part... how should I formulate my brochure so that it can look similar to my poster?
