    ...or give me ideas for a boxing poster for a fictional fight. Any help really appricated.

    I've just start with photoshop but so far havent gotten past the first rung of the ladder.

    There was a guy that used to do it on a boxing website but he stopped posting there. This is the thread that they put the poster on and they were pretty creative.

    If you are inspried feel free to create one of your own or you could just alter this template for a fight that was last week.

    19679_1320876738693_1134042548_991292_4958001_n.jpg

    And then subsitute it with the following boxers.

    Kieran Maher - Manchester

    and Gavin Prunty - Dublin

    4363454388_fd82b1eb24.jpg

    I am saying that the fight is scheduled for 17th March 2011 and will be called the St. Patrick's Day Massacre and would be for the Irish Welterweight title

    cheers!

    You shouldn't really be doing photoshop for posters like this.

    If you keep all your text as text layers and vector shapes and vector masks as vector and save as PDF then it will be fine for printing.

    But usually people who prepare posters in Photoshop end up with poor results, this is because Photoshop is a raster package with some vector capability.

    For page layouts you should use InDesign, or Quark.

    This is where you bring images from Photoshop, like the fighters etc. and the vectors (like the logos in the top right an left corners) into InDesign, then set the type in INDesign.

    You'll have better results this way, and you export to PDF for printing.
