Making "Andy Warhol Posters" using Gradient Tools
Note: Tutorial written with Photoshop CS.
A really easy photo treatment, if you'd like a rock n' roll or pop art look, is to create Andy Warhol style "lithographs" using the Gradient Tool in Photoshop.
Open a new 12" x 12" document and select a background paper. I chose a grungy one for a more punky look from the City Camo Collection Biggie.
Select and import your photo.
Using the Layer> Duplicate Layer command, create three more copies of the same photo.
Arrange them into a square shape using Extras> Grid for assistance.
Select one of the Photo Layers and choose Image> Adjustments> Gradient Tool.
You can use the Gradients that appear, or select a different set of Gradient presets by clicking on the arrow next to the Gradient and choosing "Replace Gradient Set." Built-in options include Metals, Pastels, Basics, etc.
Play with the Gradient Maps on each Photo Layer until you get a color or look you like.
If you'd like to change or adjust the color, choose Image> Adjustments> Hue/Saturation and slide the color bars until you have the color you want.
Continue this process for each photo in the layout.
Add embellishments, a mat, a frame transparency and journaling for a fun and funky look!
