PRACTICAL COMPLETION

Finish the artwork by adding a few more

images of trees to the background and adjust the

lighting and shading so that the whole image looks

balanced as a composition. Zoom out, sit back and

enjoy the view.

LIGHT POLLUTION

To intensify the atmosphere, exaggerate the light pollution behind the buildings. Draw a long,

elliptical shape with the Elliptical Marquee tool and adjust the Feather to a high setting. Fill this shape in white

and apply an orange Outer Glow layer style. Separate the layer style (Layer>Layer Styles>Create Layer) and

delete the bottom half of the glow.

14

ADD THE BOATS

Locate the boats in a darker area of water. This will help with the illusion that they are sitting in the

water. Delete the bottom section of the boats with the Rectangular Marquee tool, having adjusted the Feather

to a low setting. Choose a font that looks like it has been handmade with a paintbrush or something similar,

and flip the text vertically. Make a copy of the boats and the text and flip them vertically. Apply a Motion Blur

onto the boat layer and give the text layer a small Gaussian Blur. Lower the opacity on both.

AIRSHIP

Place the airship at a height that is above

the billboard so that the eye is immediately drawn to

the first word in the sentence. Horizontally, the

position of the airship should relate to the billboard

so that the eye picks up the next words. Using the

Warp tool (Edit>Transform>Warp), curve the text to

align with the surface of the airship for naturalism.

Create the cityscape

behind your buildings by

piecing together elements from

various cities. Keep the

silhouettes dark and ethereal by

turning down the opacity; they

are only there for context
