Today’s tutorial is a video version of a tutorial by Andrea Austoni that will create an atmospheric poster for a dance party using the textured, retro look that’s so popular nowadays.

    Very cool tut! Check my results: http://tweetphoto.com/23166000 the lightning effects became a little bit weird when I render it to fit 500kbs. I`m sure that`s easy to fix!

    This works perfectly. The only part I didn’t understand is the crescent moon tool part. I just don’t have that custom shape style. So I had to draw the moon myself. But otherwise, great!
