Hi Chris

I like both posters that you did, but I like this one better. The only thing that I'm not sure of is the type of font used and the beveled text at the top. Also a reflection in the monitor might add somthing to the picture. Just a thought.

Thanks Luis
Where would you put the reflection of the monitor?

I guess what I would do is create a new layer of the size of the glass part of the monitor and fill that in with 50% gray. Then use the Burn and Dodge tool and create diagonal lines. Then use the Pastic Wrap filter and change the blend mode to hard light. Also bring down the Opacity or the Fill for this layer. This will create a glare type effect on the monitor.

I would also lower the opacity of the girls face a bit so it won't be so strong. This might make the eyes of the man stand out more.

Got you.
Thing is, it's a flat screen monitor which isn't glass. I'm not sure there would be any glare but I could be wrong.

Good tip about the opacity of the girl's face.

Chris, I prefer this one. Something extremely sinister about the face, had a physical reaction when I saw it. Very powerful.
