Coffee in Vietnam

I decided to use coffee as a communication tool and thus, I designed a Vietnamese coffee press above a cup. Inside it, I included a group of people smiling and laughing to show them having a good time.

Process of designing:

used the Quick Selection Tool to highlight the areas I wanted to colour. then used Brush to start painting. chose the type of brush I found suited to paint.

choosing the colour to use since the ones at the swatches didn't fit. 

when i was done, I played around with the saturation and lightness.

when i was done with the picture and background, i started with the font. i picked Rage Italic, 72.
