With a picture open, duplicate the layer (as always). Use your lasso tool to roughly select the subject of your image.

Feather the selection by going to Select > Feather (ctrl+alt+d). We want a pretty large feather, so what you input depends on your picture. Try 50 pixels. Go to Layer > New > Layer via copy. You should end up with just your subject on a new layer with a nice feather to it (fades at the edges).

Select the layer copy below your subject layer. Start trying out filters. I used Filter > Brush Strokes > Dark Strokes for this example. Most of the Brush Stroke filters work well with this effect. Using blurs tends to look a little funny. When you’ve got it all done, your layers

palette should look a little like this:

rule of 3rd

In movies the character with more power is on the left or the top, while the one with less power is on the right or bottom. If the character is very weak he will be in the middle of the screen. movies use this a lot

Repetition

 Repetition: When an object or sentence is used more than once.

I tried repetition but did not work so well because it got in the way of the picture making my point very hard to understand.

Contrast

Contrast: When an object or scene stand out more than others by the use of different colors

I used contrast by making the writing red to make it stand out more. So people notice it faster and it is easier to read.
