In this movie poster tutorial we’ll create the cool looking Bourne Legacy movie poster using some pretty nifty techniques.
We’ll use an image of the actor, mask it out, and apply the film look using various adjustment layers.
We will then use vector masks to create the back line design, and finally I’ll also show you how to create the Bourne Legacy logo.
In This Movie Poster Tutorial You Will Learn How To:
03:34 – Extract foreground from background using the quick selection tool.
04:20 – Use the quick mask mode to refine your selection.
05:44 – Use the “refine mask” panel.
06:20 – Add a “movie look” to your image.
09:25 – Create a smokey background using the “clouds” filter
09:58 – Use the warp transform tool to shape the smokey background.
13:40 – Add film grain to your image.
17:00 – Use vector masks to create black bars.
24:03 – Add a slogan to your movie poster.
33:57 – Create the Bourne Legacy logo.
40:55 – Add the actor credits to your poster.

Actually Golo, many people have a version of this Bourne legacy tutorial!
Look at Corey Baker –> http://members.photoshopuser.com/article/the-bourne-effect-with-corey-barker/
or Marty Geller — > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdz5coVUyQE
I found these 2 and many other doing a simple Google search.
I’m sure that if you do the same you will find others that you can comment on their site that they “copy content” too…
and by the way the 2 examples I showed you were created before the link you posted up… so photoshoptutorials.ws copied them… so why not leave them a comment saying that they copy too?
The fact is that many of us Photoshop professionals like cool effects and we like to duplicate cool things we see. Sometimes there is a popular theme or image that we all try to duplicate.
If you notice, we all have a similar final project, but we all got there using a different ways. for example in the link you posted up they got the black bars by using the marquee tool. I used paths to create a vector mask. That’s the beauty of people who do this, you get to learn different ways of doing things.
We all have our own style, techniques, and unique way of doing things. All you have to do is watch the person that best fits your own, or watch us all to learn even more.
but thanks for watching! and commenting!
Actually, the Bourne Legacy movie poster for both the movie and some versions of the DVD looks like the tutorial here and in other areas…

This does not mean that creating tutorials for the movie is “copying content.” All of these tutorials fall within fair use act of 1978 when it comes to creation for learning. Learn your “copyright” before yelling at people for stealing.
Good tutorial…Keep them coming.
Thanks Diana!
Excellent tutorial; I learned a lot.
Thanks Carolyn!
Glad you liked it, and thank you for your comment!

Here’s what I’ve done http://luccas77.deviantart.com/art/Bourne-Poster-Dev-327794335
Nice work Lucca!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome way to chop a picture nicely.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
very nice imege, thanks
No problem! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Really impressive work. Congrats!
If I may, I have something to add, to increase the productivity.
I noticed that when you wanted to edit the names of the actors, when you finished with one and wanted to edit another, you changed to the “Move” tool to deselect the word and then back to the “Type” tool.
Instead, when you finish editing the first word, hit control + enter. This way you deselect the word you were editing, without leaving the “Type” tool.
That’s it! I hope it helps in shaving precious seconds of work time.
Panos,
You’re right! That was one of my first tutorials and I got sort of tongue tied and lost at some points! You know, the camera added a lot of pressure!
But if you notice, my newer tutorials, like the Stylized Motivational Sports Poster, do exactly what you suggested!
Thanks for the comment, and let me know if you catch anything else.
Do you guys have a Bourne Identity tutorial?
No. Just this on Bourne. 🙁
