Star Wars poster

Posters are viewed from a distance and the message is not in the details of the picture. In a small poster big letters and a minimalist approach is a way to go. Big letters - big message.

Yes, indeed, you are correct.  I was just preparing a post on that subject.

------------------
Ok, managed to navigate around the ads and nudes.

Purely technical considerations.

I can see you have tried a layer mask. The way to do it is a black (top) layer with a layer mask created from the text. White in the mask is opaque, black transparent showing the layer underneath.

   

The print resolution has not been set, I can guess that you are going for an A3 size poster.
A print resolution of 300 gives that size. It would be possible to reduce the size of the image, to accommodate that a poster is viewed at a distance.

The equation I have for image size vs viewing distance
is ppi = 1/((distance-in-inches x 0.000291) / 2)

Which at about a metre gives 176 ppi, say 200 ppi. That would make the scaling up a background image a little easier. An A3 size @ 200 ppi is 2339 x 3307 pixels. It would mean re-making your image again, all good practice.

However, if you are planning on getting this printed by a commercial printer do check their requirements, I have seen some with even less quality settings + bleed margins etc.
