Tutorial #1: How to Create a Striking Typographic Illustration
Rather than fueling the debate of which is better, we’re going to use the power of 3D, raster and vector in this almost obsessive typographic treatment. This Plus tutorial relies on the stellar combination of C4D, Illustrator and Photoshop and touches on aspects of 3D Modeling, vector integration, brush work and photo manipulation. This is all coordinated to create a final illustrated typography design.
