Electro-DJ Flier Tutorial
Jan 8, 2009 Tutorial
Today, it is my pleasure to feature the first tutorial on PresidiaCreative. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the creation of an electro/DJ house music flier. We’ll start by adding color, then we’ll add some lens flares for lighting. Next, we’ll add some shapes into the flier, and then import two images and blend them. We’ll apply some final colorization, and then lastly apply text to help bring the flier together.
