Cool Kitchen Illustration

Instead of playing with my text design I've decided to just add some additional tones on the left.

Create a new layer put it BELOW the text layer and overlay it with the same black - to white gradient; the same as in the beginning o the tutorial.



Layer mode is OVERLAY.







Well, not really what I've had in my mind.

I will add some color, drop a shadow and of course texture using layer styles







Moreover I will use my one of the favorite texture generators - PS plug-in from Alien Skin Software.

I will texture MY TEXT now.



Very good looking! I will do a little bit color balancing to this one.



Let's now deal with these dots.



Here are my layer styles of my dots.
