It's not really important now Lightning Poodle as you've finished your poster but in future. A easy way to set up photoshop sizes for real world items like posters is to just change from pixels to inches/cm and then input the actual size of the poster. This also means that you wont get any weird stretching effects if you were to use that image on a actual poster.

Anyone else having issues with the index @ 8 bit they provided on some of the FX? Looks like garbage.

If you use photoshop: First get one of these effects on one layer. Above your layers you'll see a small window that says "normal" (on the right you should see "opacity" and "fill"). If you click on that window you can select lots of options like e.g. "Screen", or "Multiply".
Try that out, the effects will look different. You can adjust it by changing the percentage of "fill" and "opacity" as well.

I do know the tricks, I'm just wondering why some are at 32 bit and the smoke / fire / Dorian is at 8 bit index instead of RGB, it's very low quality and the transparent pixels are replaced by another colour. Which is really inconvenient, not sure if it was a mistake on their part. Can't use any of the smoke they provided or the green smoke effect of the inquisitor's hand thing and considering the contest is forcing us to only use what they provided, it's awful.
Just glad to see its not just me.

Yeah some of the transparent PNGs are less than ideal.

I noticed that too. I hate admitting it but I actually had to add the green smoke effect in Comipo instead of photoshop because nothing I did in photoshop made it look right, it was sort of grainy and just looked like a green blob, yet it came out perfectly in comipo without even trying. I have no idea why. *shrug*
Comipo is a manga making software, for those who don't know.

Yeah... When I was deciding on what style of poster to do, I noticed there were some problems with the color format and quality of a few resources... Helped me decide to go in the retro/mock propaganda route. I still used the male Inquisitor and the hand tear, but only as baselines/starting points for a vector drawing.

Just added a watermark to my poster so that no one can steal my work. It's already been up for a little while without it but I'm treating this as a life lesson.

I would have done that but I don't know how many pixels per inch there are. Although I could just google that.

In photoshop you can just change pixels to inches for your canvas size. It automatically converts it between the 2 so if you input the size in inches then switched back to pixels it would tell you how big it is in pixels without altering the size.

I dig the rain effect on the middle one. Did you multi layer it?

I also know that. I do have a general understanding of photoshop. The problem I had was that the canvas size looked a lot different to what the poster examples were. I wanted to know what the problem was or if I had input the numbers wrong. I hadn't, I just thought I did.

Sooo, I did not submit my original one correctly >_>
Took the opportunity to make a less busy version and submit that. Hopefully won't render my entrance void.
