Beautiful Illustration

Today we are going to practice Photoshop layer styles to illustrate a very beautiful illustration. I will use just layers styling methods.

So let's do it.

First I want you to create a new document 1024x768 and 72dpi will do just ok.



Then, create a new layer to work with.



I will now fill my layer with black to white gradient.

Here are my gradient fill settings.







There we go.

I will copy the layer and apply Layer mask that will hide my border.



Here are the settings and modes of my layer copy.

Opacity is 89%.



I will use one of my favorite filters when it comes to advertising illustration.

Filters>Distort>Twirl.



Here we have it.

Well it is perfect but not enough.

Maybe some transformation will do the trick.



Amazing, just the thing I've wanted to do.



Now let's make the image more vivid. I will paste some text to fill the foreground with something.

Here is my text, it says 8ms. Firs thing that I've remembered), I've just worked on 8ms matrix response time monitor that day.
