       The final product is the first picture displayed. The second picture was the next step in my process. I took two images of football players and took away the background. After that I tried to have a 3D look or like he was coming out of the image. So I made one player pop out of the background. After I finished that, I wanted another player in the image. I took the second player put him in black and white and turned the opacity down. After that I made a diagonal banner in red. I wanted the text to be cut out, so that you could see the background through it. So I typed my desired text and added some decorative lines. 
       
       For the background I made that image listed last. I started with random color, blurred them out, and blended them a little bit together. For the streaks across the image. I took a noise layer and added a motion blur. For the bolder lines I make a thin rectangle box and motion blurred them as well. I did that over and over until I got the desired look I wanted. There are a few other things that I added in the final product that are not displayed. I used Topaz Studio for the foreground subject edit. I also added some low opacity black to smoke out the background and I put some drop shadow effects on the banner.
