Newbie looking for poster help

Welcome to the forums tolgainam.
Unfortunately what you are asking may be an impossibility. That poster is a very simple construction in Photoshop but the imagination of the creator is the key issue and there's no tute for creative imagination. Time and practice develop those attributes.
The primary elements of that poster could have been first the incredibly rich yellow background followed by an image probably created in a 3D program which was placed on the next layer up. That one was colorized into a duotone with the same yellow by using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and then the transparency was dropped to about 30%, I'd bet. On top of that I see a couple of wireframe drawings in white and black/red followed by several text layers and so forth.
If you have a question regarding any specific step, we can help there.
Cheers!

Yep, the poster is a composite from a number of sources which was put together in Photoshop. In your Photoshop help files reside reasonably good descriptions of the Blend Modes.
A more comprehensive description and example of each is found here...

This is the index page with a brief description of terms and the modes. Each name is a link to an example page. I'd also suggest you open an image in Photoshop, make a second layer of some smaller item, even a square of color and practice by changing the blend modes to see what happens as you read the descriptions.

Welcome to PsG! You may find some mini tutorials about some small parts of the overall design in you google "trendwhore" or "europop" tutorials... yes, that's the name that's been given to those posters.
Some leaders in that style, in the mid- nineties were "the attik" and "the designers republic"
In some of their older posters, they did give some photoshop tips in the small almost illegible text that is mostly there for the look...
Good hunt!
