Barack Obama will be inaugurated later as the first African-American President of the United States.
In honor of Obama, I’d like to share with you a Photoshop technique to achieve the effect that’s found in Obama’s posters as well as what was done in the cover of Time Magazine with Obama as the 2008 Person of the Year.

The tutorial: The ‘Inspirational Vector Political Poster’ tutorial which I found on the net is courtesy of vectortuts.com.
The tutorial doesn’t include adding some of the effects found in the Time cover but that should be pretty simple because the basics of the effect is already explained in the tutorial. Also, you might have to change the color palette to get the Time magazine effect.
Here are the Obama Posters that I was talking about:
Also, don’t forget to check out Barack Obama’s official site. Lots of downloadable wallpapers, icons, and media there.
Enjoy!
