Step 1: Page Set up In Photoshop

Start by launching Photoshop and creating a new document. For a standard poster, you might want to use A3 size (11.7 x 16.5 inches) or adjust the dimensions to fit your needs. For this Diwali Sale Poster, we select A4(8.268 x 11.693 inches). Remember to set the resolution to 300 DPI to ensure high-quality prints.

Step 2: Creating a custom background Photoshop

Diwali is all about bright, festive colors. Think rich golds, vibrant reds, and deep blues. Choose a color palette that reflects the joy and energy of the festival. You can start with a bold background color or a beautiful gradient to set the mood. We add some elements like some mandala patterns and some color strips. 

After creating these strips we create two custom layers, custom color codes for layers 1 (#45167d) & (#320462).

Step 3: Generating high-quality images and import them into Photoshop

Now time to create high-quality images using Microsoft Designer. After creating the background you should try to create some exciting relevant images like, Diyas(lamp), firecrackers, etc. We added the prompt, given below.

“A beautiful 3D render of a Diwali Diya, with a warm, golden light emanating from the flame. The intricate details of the Diya are highlighted by the light, and the background is a dark, rich black that makes the Diya stand out. The Diya is placed on a reflective surface, which adds a subtle, elegant touch to the overall image.”

Step 4: Adding Texts and creative elements

Step 5: Final Touches

1. Textures and Filters: Add textures or light filters to give your poster depth. A subtle grain effect can enhance the festive feel.
2. Check Alignment: Ensure all elements are balanced and aligned properly. Use the alignment tools in Photoshop to help with this.
3. Save Your Work: Save your project as a PSD file to keep all layers intact for future edits.
