The Chinese Heavy Heat inspires today’s poster design. According to the theme, I used the Chinese translation of Apollo—only if Google Translate got it right!
The Design
This poster is only made with channels and excellent smoke brushes. Please don’t ask where I got them; I can’t remember. I downloaded them too long ago.
As you can notice in the speed art video below, I almost started with the same style as yesterday’s poster. I quickly rectified this mistake by setting a black background and typing Apollo in Chinese.
After that, I had trouble using Channels in Photoshop because I had forgotten to rasterize the type. I tried many times, asking myself, “What’s wrong?”
Then, I cut some parts of the type inside the red, blue, and green channels and displaced or erased the channel’s layer to create something vibrant.
I played a lot with the smoke brushes to finish with the design. I had a lot of fun creating the font’s heat effect. I painted them on a new layer to find a blend mode that works well with the gradient I applied above its layer.

That’s all for today! I hope you like this poster. As usual, you can look at the speed art video number 192!
I will see you tomorrow for poster number 193! Have a nice day!
