This Craft Bazaar poster was an assignment for a class at Herzing University and was inspired by the annual Madison Chautauqua Festival of Art.
I used Adobe Illustrator to draw the stars. In particular, I used the Gradient Mesh tool on the gold parts to give an illusion of satin-finish metal. The text was also done as a vector to make it look clean and crisp.
The rest of the poster was created in Adobe Photoshop using layers and various blending modes.
