PS Dream Star Poster production

First, let's look at the original manuscript of this poster:

Think about what part of the poster? 1, "The" 2, the text of the Neon effect, 3, star background 4, Meteor, 5, other words; Well, that's all. So here we are the same to do, must be patient Oh!

Decomposition of one: the background of the star made

First, we turn on the handsome PhotoshopCS6. Create a new 1000 pixel x1455 pixel with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch of the document and save it under.

Choose a beautiful Sky HD large map, import into the document, adjust the size and position. Like this:

Look, how beautiful the starry sky, the infinite reverie ... Then we put this fascinating star into the Lomo style effect. The personal suggestion uses the shape tool to do, for the convenience later changes.

A: With a rectangular tool to pull a and canvas, such as the width of the rectangle, note that this is done here is the shape rather than the path Oh!

B: With the Ellipse tool, the path operation is replaced by "minus the top shape", that is:

Subtract an ellipse from the middle of the rectangle, adjust the position and size, leaving only four corners.

C: Bring up the Property Panel (Window-Properties), feather the shape layer, adjust the transparency and feather values.

So the background is done, we select all the layers, build a layer group, named "Background." Then we set up a layer group for every thing we do.

Decomposition of the second: "The" "Number of" digital production

In fact, this effect is not difficult, is a bit annoying. So everyone must have patience Oh!

We first break down this 9 words, know a number of the way to make a lot easier, because the other is the same way to do it.

We divided the 9 words into several faces (how this stereo effect came out, I'm here to pull the map, because of my font.) You can do in a variety of ways, such as PS 3D filter, Ai 3D effect, and so on. ), we do it on one side. Rectangular tools for every face!

Let's do the top black face first. With the rectangular tool, pull a rectangle out, the color is #42f9ff, the size covers the black part, then turn into a smart object, perform filter-noise-add noise, set as follows:

Add a layer style to this smart object, set as follows:

The gradient settings are as follows:

After the gradient is set, we select the Smart object's layer, create a clipping mask, the shortcut key is: Ctrl+alt+g or ALT + left mouse button, like this:

。

The effect is as follows:

Use this method to do a good number 9 of each face, but please pay attention to the relationship between light and shadow Oh! We should pay attention to constantly modify the gradient of each surface value, to enhance the three-dimensional. The effect is as follows:

Finish each face and then add the edge of the top side to highlight. We can copy the top of this face, put the top and then set the fill to "none", stroke 1 pixels (if too thin on the bold, hehe ~ ~).

The strokes are set as follows: #ffffff至 #25dae5

The shape's fill and stroke settings are the same, from left to right: no fill, solid fill, gradient fill, pattern fill, all alone on the far right ... It's a poor color picker. Remember, everybody!

Set up to copy this layer, the stroke mode to "pure color fill", color black, adjust the opacity, put the layer on the next layer, adjust the node can be. The effect is as follows:

Well, after doing this, we select all the layers associated with the number 9, create a new layer group, and name it 9. The method has, we just so the others also finish it! Remember to build layer group Oh!

The last part of this decomposition is the creation of the grid. We create a new 40 pixel x40 pixel document, layer background transparent, and then draw a and canvas, such as the height of the rectangle, the stroke is 3 pixels, stroke color is #55f4ef, fill to none. Select all, defined as a pattern, save and then close (do not save does not matter).

We return to the poster document and use the rectangular tool to pull a large rectangle, how big it is to cover all of the "s". The layer's fill is then set to "0", the layer name is changed to "grid" and the layer style is added, set as follows:

Cover and then turn this large rectangle into a smart object, and then free to transform, the perspective and the top of the number of the same line.

Don't rush to do anything else, we'll copy the Layer 3 times, because it will be used elsewhere. Let's start by linking the 4 layers, like this:

After the copy is finished, we assign these layers to the top of the number "9", the number "0" symbol "", and the letter "S", which are the following:

Once you've assigned them, create a clipping mask and shove the grid in, and that's it:

After this step is done we will look at the effect:

Well, it feels pretty good. Now you know why you have to link these 4 layers? What, you don't know? is to move the time 4 move together Ah, so the perspective will not change.

Decomposition three: Neon effect

First, we use the pen tool to draw a graphic like this in shape mode:

After the painting, name the layer "Shape V" (in fact, everyone is free), add a layer style, and set the following:

Next we do the graphic and text section above. Because there is no original font, we use other good-looking fonts to replace it, I chose the Freehand521 bt this font. The graphic above is also outlined in shape mode with a pen. Then adjust the position and the layer style (style and shape V is basically the same, slightly adjust the line) so that these and shape v layer is OK.

Go back to the Shape v layer, add the mask, and cover the places that should be covered by the numbers.

There seems to be some place that is not harmonious!

Here we see the red circle has unscientific disharmony place, very affect beautiful. Don't worry, we'll open the layer style of shape V again, and in blending options, check the layer mask hide effect, as shown in the picture:

Decomposition four: Tianma Meteor boxing

Haha, this is certainly not a boxing, but the shooting of a meteor. With the Custom Shape tool, select the Raindrop shape inside, hold down shift to pull out a raindrop shape, vertically change, change the color of the shape to a gradient fill, the gradient from light blue to transparent (here the color can be customized), the effect is as follows:

01: Use the Pen tool to lengthen the nodes below, make the appearance of the meteor tail;

02: Copy the layer, color fill gradient from "light blue to Transparent" to "white to Transparent", and then adjust the size and position, so that the layer looks a small circle;

03: Select these two layers, turn into a smart object, named "Meteor", add the outer glow of the layer style (a little light on the line). Then according to the perspective of the large and small, adjust the angle of the meteor and the number and size of the meteor group.

Finally, we add a reflection on the surface similar to the shape V of the number 9 and the number 0, and suggest a numerical #ea289b. Similarly, use the shape Oh! Then turn it into a smart object. As you may have noticed, this tutorial has repeatedly referred to the word "shape" and "smart object", which is intended to facilitate later modification. It is then placed inside the clipping mask, such as:

After turning into a smart object, adjust the transparency, Gaussian blur, the value of random, so that the reflection looks natural point on it.

At the end of the last, add words and signatures, and glitter (light can be done with brushes, how do you like to do it). Call ~~~ok, all finished, the effect is not very good?
