Design a Rocket-Powered Retrofuturistic Digital Illustration Screencast

Jan 12th in Screencasts by Gavin Steele

"Retrofuturism is a topic that has always fascinated me. In this tutorial, we’ll go through the steps of recreating my own experiment in this style. After making the 3D typography in Illustrator, we’ll use Photoshop to create an out-of-this-world digital illustration on the topic of space exploration." Alex Beltechi
