Looking at the information that I looked up based on The Beatles I would like to incorporate the band members as well as things that are to do with their success in music. Before producing the image below I had started another image which incorporated the band members, an apple with headphones and a layer mask with the effect of a map. I chose this idea as the Beatles created their own record deal Apple records, the map effect was because of the fact that they had an impact globally and the headphones signify music. This idea at first was coming along but when it came down to incorporating the band members I didn't know where to place them therefore I decided to change my image and incorporate another perspective of the band.

The images I will be using have been extracted from several sources, I have displayed these below:

Steps I took to create my image
I opened the fly image in photoshop and duplicated the layer, I clicked on the eye of the original layer so that it would disappear. I then opened the image of the band another new document in photoshop. I duplicated the layer and then selected he Magic Wand Tool in order to remove the white background. I then dragged the layer onto the other document where I had the Union Jack Flag.
Since the image of the group was larger than the flagI pressed Ctrl+T and resized the image to fit into the centre of the flag.
On the text I added some effects:
Final Image
In the image I created I choose to use the Union Jack flag as the band was British, also british artists back then would hardly make it onto large record deals in America hereford the flag also symbolises the fact that british artists can make it to the top. I Incorporated the band members as the image is about them I decided to use a full length image as it also shows the fashion back then. I left the text how it was originally apart from the drop Shadow as it added some texture to the image and also stood out.

On the layer of the group I pressed Shift+Ctrl+3 which made the image blend into the background with a transparent effect. I opened the other image onto a new document and again I used the Magic Wand tool to remove the background. I then dragged the first word onto the document which I had been working on and placed it and the centre left of the flag and the other word I placed it more on the centre right of the flag. The text was too big so I pressed CTRL+T to resize it down.
On the text I added some effects:
Drop Shadow: Blend Mode-Multiply
Opacity- 75%
Angle- 120º
Spread- 0%
Distance and Size- 5px
Bevel and Emboss: Smooth
Depth- 100%
Direction- Up
Size and Soften- 0px
Angle- 120º
Highlight Mode- Screen 75%
Shadow- Multiply 75%
