i’m always working hard on new design techniques. this is a teaser of a the wedding & event networks presentation of soleil: the wedding event september 25th.
this design is a series blends and circles and gradients. i then make a few ‘magic clicks’ and it all looks like a brilliant set of paint strokes. accuracy within inaccuracy. having lots of fun with this – the final pieces will be out soon!
If you want a quick look at the steps followed in photoshop, then
the short of it:
step 1) took a multi-toned monochromatic yellow image and applied filter, distort, twirl
step 2) duplicated that layer and applied gaussian blur to taste and set opacity to 75% to soften the original twirl
step 3) filled a new layer with a darker orange on the 4 corners applied filter, distort, spherize to get a tighter ring
step 4) repeated step 3 but made it a larger size as to get the banding effect
step 5) once i got the desired ‘sun’ circles, i flattened it all and sharpened it about 375% making it look like paint strokes
step 6) i then paneled a few layers of yellow, screened them and offset
