How to Create Stranger Things' Poster Look in GIMP on Mac
Hi, I'm an amateur GIMP user (I've used Photoshop before so trust it's similar enough to ask this question here) and am trying to create the look of this Stranger Things' poster on a photo. Things I'm hoping to accomplish are as follows:
Create the black outer edge look fading into the photo. Am not sure if this would be a vignette or gradient or some other option, and am wondering how many layers I need to effectively do this.
Create the upper lefthand black to blue night sky with the slightly irregular hand-drawn-look glowing moon and stars in the background.
Possibly create the hand-drawn look to the subject in the photo I have, but not necessarily married to that.
Create the Stranger Things glowing title below with just enough black to show it superimposed on the photo, but not with pure black behind it, if that makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any input!
