1.  Making the ellipse part of the badge. Use 6 ellipses to make the following shape. A simple way is to use the “Offset path” (Object / Path / Offset Path). Use the subtract tool to have the middle area empty. The colors are: #640401 and #FFFFFF.

2. Using the rectangle tool, draw a shape with 60 px corner radius. Use same technique like on ellipse shape to make the front part of badge. Use gradients and colors on your taste to have a 3D look. To can use same colors like in this tutorial, use a free and simple color picker like “pixie“.

At this step, your badge should look like this:

3. Add a shadow shape under the rounded rectangle. From “Transparency” panel chose the “Overlay” blend option.

4. Apply a carbon vector effect for the rounded rectangle. You can make the dots yourself, or, save your time spending just 2$ to buy this Vector Carbon Metal Pattern.

5. Depending on your Adobe Illustrator version, using the middle rounded rectangle shape, crop or make a clipping mask what will be placed over the rounded rectangle badge part.

Let’s use in our play a hammerhead shark. Very often is used in corporate identities, logos for its clear unique shape what is easy to be recognizable. Is one of my favorites too.

1. Use a hammerhead photo reference.

2. Make a deep blue background with a radial gradient on a separate layer.

3. Make a contour of your hammerhead picture. Is hard to find a picture to have 100% your wanted pose. This is also our case. You will notice the shape will be a bit different from hammerhead photo. Name the layer “contour”. To use same colors like mine, use a free and simple color picker like “pixie“

4. Make a new layer and hide the previous one, “contour” (sure, you need to make it visible each time when you draw a new shape). Now you need some shapes to apply transparency and feather style (i used a 25px  feather radius). Use also deep blue colors depending on how dark / light is your zone (shadows or highlights). The rule is simple. If  a body part is close to you, will be more light in color. The dark ones are for parts placed far away.

Like you can see in following images, the painting is not limited to Adobe Photoshop. Some images are close to perfection in imitation of reality, others are easy to be recognized like graphics because of less details on hairs or other elements. But, if you can see the footprint of CG, is not because the artist had less skills there. You will see for instance images from 2005 (like is portrait of Elijah Wood) which are so full in details, in years when the vector art was not so easy to be achieved. Keep in mind the vectors are used in special for print purposes. On a banner what cover a building, or even on an apparel, those details doesn’t matter, because on a banner canvas (some are call “mesh” too) or an a t-shirt, the quality of details is limited by printing procedure and texture.

Is easy to apply any blending option for texts to gain shadows, to overlay effects over a background etc, but in many cases you need to make another alterations to the text with already done blending options.

For instance, if you want to delete a part of you object with its blending options, you will discover that the blending options will follow the new shape. Can you delete / alter the shadows, the bevels, strokes and whatever blending options you need to use? Yes, you can. Follow this short Adobe Photoshop tutorial to learn how to do it.

1. I am starting with a editable text what have few blending options  available. Is nice to can have such nice effects into an editable text field.

2. But, for more deep effects we need to do few steps. Click right on text layer from your layers panel, and click on “Group into New Smart Object”. This is one of most great addition starting with CS2. With smart objects, you can make multiple copies of a single object and all copies will be updated when one of the copies is edited (you can still apply layer styles and adjustment layers to the individual smart objects without affecting all copies). Pixel-based smart objects also remember their original size and can be transformed multiple times without loss.

3. Repeat the step, but click on  ”Rasterize layer” instead (you cannot fully handle a smart object which in our case)

4. Now, all your text blending effects can be changed in any way you need, using tools or filters, without to follow the original object / text shape, because now is no more effects there. Everything now become a single object at your wish.

1. Make a full contour the character.

2. Duplicate it and apply an “offset path” with 3px.

3. Make the following shape for coat with “Pen Tool”. You can draw it above the sketch. Apply a blue gradient to it. To use same colors like mine, use a free and simple color picker like “pixie“. Will be more easy for you to copy the code of color instead writing it.

4. Make the pants. Use the following gradient settings.

5. Make the legs shape, using same “Pen Tool”.

6. For shoes we will use three layers (in second one we mix and the socks). First shape:

Make a new layer and paste the last two shapes done. Hide the first layer with the star basic shape. Fill the shapes with blue and orange color grandients.

Now, arrange the shapes to form a star like the basic star shape is. For the next step you need to make 3 new shapes (with Pen Tool) for a small 3D star effect. Those shapes will have a more dark orange color or gradient. Each star corner will meet the center of shape. Left one will have a full orange color, middle one a 90° angle grandient, right one at 45° gradient.

This is how you image look now:

Place a shadow shape like in following image and make the happy face star. Copy now all shapes and combine them, fill the new shape with a light grey and place it behind the character. Use Free Distort effect to create a perspective character shadow.

Done. Bravo. You are a star!

We’ll start to make the menu bar. Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U), set the radius to 5px and pick the grey color #b1b1b1. Size of menu bar: 740px / 37px.

Apply a gradient effect to the new shape created.

Your layout should look like this now:

On the right side of the menu bar place a new shape what will be a search field. Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U), set the radius to 25px and pick the green color #aab82e.

Add inner shadow:

Add the text for menu labels.

Apply to the menu labels an engraved effect. Place separators between labels. Draw with pencil 1px brush grey vertical lines. For depth, you can make for each one another light grey line.

Is time to create the header. Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool (U), set the radius to 5px. Chose the size for shape according to your needs. The color doesn’t matter now because the rectangle will be used for clipping mask. My size is 740px / 380px. Make a copy of this layer.
