Music Event Poster

The assignment for my photoshop class was to create a music event poster. We were given the event information. We were also given about fifty pictures of which we had to use at least three. We were allowed to use the band name or logo as part of the design.
I chose a picture of the Bonneville Salt Flats. I had to copy and modify the desert to extend to the bottom of the poster. The second picture I used was the swirl pattern surrounding Chicago. I had to copy and flip it so I could use it on both sides of the Chicago logo. I used different effects to make it look like it was burned into the desert and make it look like it fades into the distance. The third picture was a picture of smoke. It had a black background so I had to use the magic wand tool to select and remove the black out of the picture leaving only the smoke. I then added it as the top layer to make it look like the swirl pattern and Chicago had just been burned into the desert. 
I took the Chicago logo off one of their album covers used different effects to make it look like it was burned into the desert. I also distorted it to make it look like it is very large extending to the mountains.
I added a transparent layer to the bottom and added the event information. I tried to find a font that would go along with the Chicago logo and added an effect to it to make it stand out more.
