Context

In the 2000s, I was lucky enough to be approached by a graphic design magazine to write a tutorial. And as I like to share my passion for graphic design, it is with enthusiasm that I created this visual of which I describe the stages of realization. Of course, this goes back but not that time, 3D design softwares were not as affordable as it is now. So, you had to be smart!

Overview

…and the colors come to life.

For this tutorial, I chose a rather difficult exercise because it requires a lot of adjustments. The basic shapes were created in Illustrator and the colors added in Photoshop.
But the real difficulty for me was to transcribe all this in a simple and concise way, while being precise.

Ok, it was a long time ago. Today, it’s more simple! A lot of slaps were needed, with a ton of adjustment to give these effects of gradients, shine, reflections, this play of light and shadow. But it was a good exercise for those who like to share and explain their profession.
