I have followed your tutorial in order to try and replicate this awesome poster, but I’m stuck with the reflections at the bottom. It would’ve helped if you included it in your tut.
Reflections are actually quite simple to do. Just:
1. Locate whatever layer you want to have a reflection
2. Duplicate it
3. Hit control/command + T, right click, and flip it vertically
4. Then move your upside down copy below the layer you wanted to have a reflection
5. If you want, lower the opacity of the reflection to around 50%
6. Erase the bottom of the reflection, so that it looks like it fades away
And then you’re done. Hope this helps, if not, let me know and I’ll make a short video tut explaining how to make a reflection and post it up.

You should also place the two fetuses instead of the apple’s seeds. It would be a lot cooler.

You’re right, I really should do that. Thanks for your critique!
