Thank you flyer graphic design, art and specific images

This is a flyer created for a couple of high school students who wanted to thank those who contributed and helped them with their fundraisers. They (their mom, actually) wanted an image that indicated both theater and  which represented their desire to attend a fine arts camp to study violin. Image created in Photoshop, flyer in Illustrator.

Black & White graphic ad for Presbyterian Village

Again, I was sent an email and instructed that an ad had to be submitted by the following morning. I had seen an ad that had the background from a photo in the background, but the people in the picture in front of a shape. It required masking (cutting out) the people in PhotoShop, then saving the full image at 60% opacity (or so). In Illustrator I placed (imported) the background image behind the shape and the exact size masked image of the man and child in front of the shape.

I kinda like the effect.
