This is pretty cool, I would like to know how how they did this as well. Please include me if there is a discussion on this.

| A bunch of layers and some careful erasing? That would be my guess. But then, what do I know... |

Not so much 'erasing' as masking for flexibility in editing.

pretty cool stuff...If I was Aaron Johnson though I think I'd ask for that ONE basketball to be moved or something...looks like it's coming out of his shorts.
Definitely a lot of layers and masking. I like how images are small and large and seem to blend together so well. |

Start with your primary photo as your background layer. Make the usual adjustments to it and flatten the image. Then get/open the next image (note: both files can be open at the same time in Photoshop), make adjustments so it looks nice in tone and color with the first, and flatten it. Circle the portion of the second image that you want to include in the poster and copy. Then go to the first image and paste. That will create a new layer. Use edit>transform to resize that second image and use the move tool to slide it to the place you want it. Now put a mask on that second layer. With the mask active, use a black paint brush to "erase" the part of the image you don't want. If you make a mistake -- erase too much, use a white brush to restore the areas you messed up. When you are completely happy with the way those two images are combined you can merge the layers. Now get the third image and do it all over again until you have a finished composite. The text layer and border would be put on last.

It's not hard, just tedious, but I like it. I used that technique for this:

I'd have to say that merging the layers would be best left until last.

I agree about merging the layers last, especially if you are comfortable with Photoshop. I was trying to simplify the instructions. For a first attempt by a Photoshop novice, it might be easier just to work with two layers at a time. Merging the layer last would allow you to rearrange, resize, adjust, etc. the various images right up until the final composition was complete.
