Original image
step 1 of 8
Starting with the source image, carefully select out the silhouette, this is the main part of your finished image
step 2 of 8
Make two copies of the silhouette, With the first one, fill with white. Type out a block of text in a font of your choice, My text was the lyrics of Save the Last Dance For Me. I used white as my text color. Clip the text inside the Silhouette and apply a drop shadow and inner shadow to give an embossed look on both. I also accented a couple of lines in red and changed to a different font once I had the clipping mask in place.
step 3 of 8
Your second silhouette copy will be used for your shadow. Fill with black and apply a Gaussian blur to soften edges. Lower opacity to give it transparency and place behind your main silhouette and size it up a bit.
step 4 of 8
To create your background use a black and gray gradient and fill.
step 5 of 8
A floor tile can be made using a preset shape and repeating to fill the lower half of your canvas. Once you have this done, use transform, perspective to make it recede in the back.
step 6 of 8
Add another layer and select out your floor, on the new layer use foreground to transparent to darken the back of the floor giving it depth.
step 7 of 8
For the dancer's reflection in the floor, make a copy of your main dancers and flip vertical. Position it below the dancers feet and add a layer mask. Using foreground to transparent fade out the reflection and lower opacity.
step 8 of 8
Position things the way it looks pleasing to you and merge. The final step is to use lighting effects to add a spotlight effect. I used the settings below.
