One of our ideas for our poster is to use an axe in shot reflecting an image of our main character. In order to see if this would work we've mocked up a version using images off of the internet and using Photoshop to merge them to create the effect we're looking for.
We took the picture of an axe, and then copied the image of a metal texture onto the axe, added a layer mask to blend it into the original axe picture. By pen tooling the shape of the axe head it merges into the original picture, and then we lowered the opacity to make it look more natural.
Then we got the picture of a man shot low angle and pen tooled around his portrait and placed him on the area of the axe head. By selecting the area of the texture layer and then after inverting the selection we deleted the unneeded parts of the man's portrait. We made the layer style for the portrait 'soft light' and lowered the opacity slightly before gaussian blurring the man's face by around 2.7 pixels radius. Lastly we lowered the saturation of the portrait.
This was the result:
