Halftones with Phantasm
We will be implementing a potent tool called Phantasm by Astute Graphics. In addition, we will create halftones that we will be using in our layered design here.
Advanced Blending
We will set up a perspective-warped blend. Then we will show how to adjust the blend later.
Free Distortin'
We will use Effects ➡️ Distort & Transform ➡️ Free distort to distort the ending layer in our blend.
Copy n' Reflect
We will then take a group and copy and reflect on that group to create the illusion of a reflection.
This tutorial is full of techniques you can use in many different scenarios. Enjoy!
