Since the very first time I saw the trailer of Tron Legacy I decided that I would have to try to do something inspired on that, all those light effects were exactly what I always love to do in Photoshop.

Then I saw the James White design inspired by Tron and I was damn it, James nailed it. So I postponed my little experiment, however this week I decided that the time had come and so, I decided to recreate the logo effect we see in the trailer. For this tutorial I used Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Cinema 4D. Pretty much all the light effects and composition are done in Photoshop, the other apps were used just to create some shapes and elements, so if you want to do just the Photoshop part, in the of the tutorial there is a ZIP file with all the resource files used for this image.

It inspired me to write this article. He asked "Did I do it in Photoshop or Illustrator? " Well, it is a mixture of both. First I created the artwork in Illustrator, then polished it in Photoshop. Here I will unveil all my secret techniques. This tutorial includes 9 Photoshop techniques that will show you how to add more depth, color, contrast, and texture into your vector art. Why do I need to polish the vector art? Vector artworks are usually very flat, dull, and lack visual effects due to software limitations; thus they look very boring.

Technique 1: Lens Flare Effect First technique, let's start with one of my recent work on Next2Friends. I assume you have the vector artwork ready and you want to add a lens flare layer on top. If you want the lens flare to focus on specify area only, you can delete the unwanted area. Sometime just the Lens Flare filter alone is not good enough. Technique 3: Rainbow.
