February 2015 Video Tutorial -- Creating a Casino Poster Part 1

[stygg2003]

There is some nice casino posters in this thread and none sticking to the original colour of the light pinky colour so I too have used a different bevel colour. Can change it when Part 2 is done if it does not suit the final image.

It works and you did good, stygg.

Now, tuck this guy away for a week or so, because layout composition will be the mainstasy of March's tutorial, and that means both elements location (composition) and use of colours. Now, your color is fine, becuaee there will be white poker chips in the final compositon.

@Everyone: think of what you can do with green, red, black, and white. The palette sounds limiting, but not if you use dropshadows, glows, and gret creative as to shwere you add the colro in the finished design.

I know I'm asking a lot and nobody has all day to do this stuff (except me), but we;'re doing REAL WORLD, professional, published work here. Even if it isn't published, I will take the submissions around and get REAL WORLD opinions from people who might want the poster for an event.

How about that for pressure?

Though I have no idea what Gary is going to do, going forward with this?!

I thought I would add some cards to the scene.

my attempt this evening (i'll save the neon flashing for another night...although i don't think i can share gifs yet coz i've had a post containing one waiting in moderation for a few days now in Gary's March 2013 Neon thread )

A little bit late coming but still would like to thanks Gare for the tutorial, especially enjoyed the technique drawing with light pink on the bevel.



Plus I never used to clone the shadows, that is interesting one too

@Mikeymopar—

If all your posts are in moderation, I can't help that, but if you're having a hard time with posting a GIF that animates, Rik does it and he can help you.

I can also help: export it as a SWF file, and not a GIF. Take not of the dimensions.



Then delete the entry I've marked in green, and you're good to go.




My Best,

Gary
