This Vector Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Techniques
I’m Ross, one half of the award winning design duo Ahoythere Studio and I am just about to show how you can go about producing a lovely illustrated type piece using a vector Illustration made base and some interesting textures and treatments within Photoshop. Visit our site for more inspiration.
You will be surprised how quick and easy it is to create something like this. If you have the concept behind it your 80% there, the rest is left to skill, creative vision and software know how. I find with my work that vectors are the start of a concept, and then it’s what you do with them that’s important.
