I designed a poster to advertise The Pas using Gimp. Gimp is free alternative to Photoshop which you can download on any computer. My poster has a lot of images that have transparent backgrounds, in order to do this on gimp, you need to use either the lasso tool or the magic selection tool. These tools can be used to select around what you want to cut, you cut the background using the control+x shortcut on your keyboard. The theme of my poster is the history of The Pas. It shows many of the famous locations and buildings you can see around town such as the trapper sign or the Lido. This poster also promotes local tourism. Local tourism helps small towns because it draws attention to the town and it helps our local economy. It wasn't what I was used to, but I ended up with a decent end product using Gimp.
