The assignment I made was to create a banner which displays your favorite superhero. I choose spiderman:

To get the grunge background, I downloaded some grunge photoshop brushes from deviantart.com and applied it to a blank black canvas. I then used the dodge tool to add some shine in the background. I got the spiderman image from online, which I cropped and placed upside down to give it the effect of him hanging. Finally, after some color corrections, I added the text which I decided to multi-color with the same colors used in SpiderMans costume.

I think it turned out well. I didn’t mean to have spiderman camouflage with the background, however, once I completed it I thought it added to the whole stealthiness of spiderman so I kept it like that.
