LGBT Bullying awareness Poster

This project for me was a tough one and personal. I have many friends and family members that have gone through bullying and it is more frequent to those who are in the LGBT community.

I wanted the piece to reflect a teen being bullied by a classmate, with emphases on how words can leave a lasting impact. I also used a top and bottom border in yellow with black letters to mimic a police strip. The photo was enhanced by using the Artistic Cutout in the Filter Gallery to give it a more dramatic look, as well as using the Curve tool to adjust the color and intensity. The letters in the middle all have a 30% opacity setting to show the picture background as well as still being able to see the words. All comments welcome!!!
