Who have a bit of spare time and can use photoshop etc
I need to design an invitation and what I really wanted is a kind of crowd scene with loads of famous pop stars in it (and eventually a picture of me in there somewhere)
So, anyone want to do me a favour and have a go?
I have no idea where to start really. :o

That's the trouble, we can't find any!
Can it be done by using individual photos of people?

Hya Darren its just a case of finding the actual picks of the artists you want then removing the background from each and then overlaying them on a new layer same if you want a pick of yourself on there too.
If you take a look at the website I'm building at the moment I have used that same principle (link in my signature).
How soon do you want it?

In theory, yes, although it's more time consuming. If you're planning on getting the invitations professionally printed, you'll need good quality images as the print company will require a high resolution for print.

I was thinking about printing them here, rather than spending out too much (more!) money.

That'd make the job easier. :)
Have a look for some images, post them on this topic, and those of us that want to have a play around can try sort something for you. Then you can just pick the one that best suits your needs. :approve:

I could redo that cover with more current celebs?. Just give me a list of ones you want included (if you'd like me to try).

Very interesting idea, Daz. Just make sure the pics you finally use are all royalty-free and free-to-use. I've spent the day researching stock libraries of pictures on the web for one section of our new website for 2009. Cost to ourselves? $4,735! :eek: I'm buying a new camera next month and I'll be off to shoot my own pics! ;)
