Trying to get back into Photoshop *AGAIN*

Here is an image that I tried to re-create with a tutorial that I found on http://abduzeedo.com. The reason why I chose to do this tutorial was for two reasons.

1. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to re-familiarise myself with Photoshop again.
2. Was to find out how to make pretty stars in Photoshop so that I may use it in one of my other layout concepts. (Which I am currently having a mind block for!!)

Here are the results from the tutorial. I know it’s an ‘A’ I will be re-doing that part to form ‘R’ .

I found this tutorial enjoyable and it also gave me the opportunity to find out about the Rendering filter that is used to generate clouds and lens flare. This tutorial was not too difficult and was pretty much straight forward and is not too time consuming (took me about 30 minutes, that’s because I am trying to re-familiarise myself with Photoshop! =P) I would recommend this tutorial if you are interested in stars and lighting, plus it’s really easy!

Thanks to http://abduzeedo.com for making this tutorial.
