We recommend that you go to the foot home to study together!

Preface

Paint brushes, textures, and even Photoshop's color filter make Galaxy look, but I don't think it's enough. It may not be straightforward enough, and it is difficult to express it completely in any shape. Therefore, the galaxy we draw seems to be just a galaxy in concept. This tutorial will teach you how to use AI and PS to create a Galaxy poster. of course, if you use the stars as the background, it will be too dull. This time, let's try to shape the galaxy with a low polygon.

I. galaxy shapes

1. Open AI and create a document of any size. Of course, the size of a vector is not very important. I have created 800px * 800px here. I would like to remind you that if you want to draw very fine Galaxy lines (lines smaller than 1pt), please refer to the document when creating a new one, do not check "align the new object with the pixel grid ". Because, if you do not do this, it is very likely that the graph stroke you make will not be less than 1pt.

2. open the polygon tool and draw a polygon with more than 8 edges. Here I draw 13 edges, fill with blank, stroke black 0.25pt. If you are doing this kind of galaxy chart for the first time, you can refer to my values and try again after you become familiar with this routine.

3. use a linear tool to draw a galaxy. It is best to enable the "intelligent reference line" before creating a galaxy. the intelligent reference line can help you identify the endpoints, alignment, and intersection of two paths when drawing a line. When you draw a line, try to keep the circle as a three-dimensional sphere, then these lines can be displayed as a three-dimensional image composed of a low polygon. In this process, it is very important to maintain a stereoscopic vision.

4. clear the middle line and set a position for the text symbol to be created later. Select the line to be deleted based on the shape of the logo you want to add. Next, we will use an elliptical tool to draw a small solid circle at the intersection of each line and line, and fill the solid circle with black.

5. I drew an "F" on the Galaxy's planet, a letter from my personal website (http://ifeiwu.com), which I use as my personal identifier.

In this way, we will complete the modeling of the galaxy of this concept.

II. poster creation

1. open PS and create a 1000px * 1400px document. Here, My posters are only used on the Internet, so no printing size is required. Draw a black solid positive circle of 530px and open the Galaxy document in AI in PS. The Galaxy layer uses the "color overlay" hybrid option to change the color to white.

2. at this moment, we regard this black solid circle as the background, similar to the night sky.

How do we add stars to the night sky? Some kids shoes say they can add a star image and then reduce transparency to increase the effect of the stars. Some children's shoes also mention the paint brush and texture of the stars.

Here, I will teach you a very simple way to create a normal dark sky with stars. Add a new layer above the black solid circle, fill the layer with black, and then go to filter> Miscellaneous> add impurity color, the number is 15%, set parameters can refer to the settings in. Then go to the image> Adjust> color order (ctrl + L) and move the slider to make the color of the layer change to the point effect of only a few bright stars.

Set the layer used in this step as the cutting template of the solid circle. The effect is as follows:

3. in order to make the background of the night sky more varied, I will add some gradient here to make it more attractive.

Create a new layer, select "gradient tool", and select "cobalt iron 3" in "photo tone ". Then, use a gradient tool to draw a linear gradient from top to bottom of the solid circle. Set the gradient layer to a cut mask of the solid circle. The hybrid mode is changed to "linear fade", and the transparency is reduced to 70%.

In this way, the black background shows the "dark night just strikes, the last trace of sunlight fades" in the sky. It simulates the gradient of natural colors and is most suitable for use here. Of course, you can also find other more beautiful tones in the gradient Library. We can also add other elements to the poster, such as a line of text and a URL.

The final effect after the poster is completed is here I am using a solid color background.

Postscript

After learning this tutorial, we learned a new way to create a galaxy. Apart from being mysterious, Galaxy also shows a sense of technology. In actual use, matching with the Natural Color System is the most impressive, while using the color of technology to keep a low profile. When creating a line, you must keep the line clean and slim. Therefore, if you use lines of 1 PX or more pixels, the depth will decrease. Let's try it out.

The above is a simple and stylish low polygon Galaxy style poster tutorial in Photoshop design. I hope you will like it!
