Learning to use Adobe PhotoShop CS4

We used Adobe Photoshop CS4 to help me construct a poster advert for our documentary. We had used a similar application in the past but We learnt many new creative things while working on the poster advert. We learnt how to take some colours and with the smudge tool I made a rainbow, which is symbolic to the flag that is associated with homosexual people. I had seen the advert for the film “Flags of our Fathers” and thought it was an inspiring picture that shows the struggle to where the soldiers are trying to achieve a goal, so I thought I could use a similar picture that shows the struggle in which homosexual people go through to get acceptance not only in religion, but in society as a whole. People who see our advert will see the intertextual link to the film Flags of our Fathers and so this can open interest to a new demographic.
