Answer 2

OK letś suppose we have a picture of each singer.

1) create a new picture, large enough to hold the singers.

2) create the background

a) first create horzontal lines. by making rectangular selections and fill it with the desired color. Be carefull to turn of feathering or the edge won be crisp

b) If you havee done this two times with both colors, copy and paste until  the lines fill your picture.

c) If necesarry, join the layers and rotate 45 degr.

3) Carefully cut out every singer using the lasso.

  Make holes is the selection by pressing  <alt> if you use the lasso.

4) Drag the singers into the new picture and possition them where you want them

5) create a new layer and make color spots using a large brush.  It will cover the singers, but you will fix that later

6) Go to the layer panel and experiment with the blending. Until you are satisfied.

It can take a little while to create the same picture, but basically this is how it´s done.

Have fun
