Easy Star Light in Photoshop
Nov 23, 2009 General, Inspiration, Tutorials
I’ve been writing tutorials inspired by skateboard deck designs for a few weeks and today it’s not going to be different. I’m very addicted to that, I love the ideas some of the designers have and for this tutorial I will recreate a really nice effect with lines forming a star. However I will go a little bit further and I will transform it in a light effect and add a nice pattern overlay. Everything using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
