Vectors and Textures

Some more vector work that utilises raster-images for texture overlays:

 

 

 

 

**These images rely heavily on raster effects for things like

the glowing light & the shadows (Gaussian blur + various blend modes)

 

Background texture images utilise blend modes like

Soft Light, Overlay, Colour Burn and Luminosity...

 

I rarely use them at full strength. The final result is usually made up of

a combination of 2 or 3 effects, each applied at 20%-30% opacity. 

Vectors and Graphic Styles

Vector-based artwork demonstrating different graphic styles suitable for text.

 

The examples below make use of Illustrator's appearance manager (custom styles),

custom art brushes, gradient fills, built-in blend modes and raster effects**
 

 

 

 

 

All work is vector artwork, with some "raster effects" applied.

**Raster Effects used include: 'Drop Shadow' and 'Guassian Blur'
