1. This isn't an answer to your question; just noting that although I love that poster,

I think I love this one even more. :hi:

I was going to order one of the limited edition prints for my birthday, but they're all gone. x(

2. First you need

the software. Paint Shop Pro from Corel or Photoshop. It's pretty easy after that.

7. We made a large poster during the campaign.

We used several colors but they were not primary or as contrasting as the colors in the HOPE image.




We shot a normal photo image on the board with a projector and my daughter outlined the shadowed areas, carefully marking the different tones separately.

We then painted the separate sections.



It is a bit more difficult with the reds and blues but similar in concept.

8. Why, you press the "poster" button on your computer, of course.

Other than that, you use your eye and hand skills as an artist.
