Guanajuato Texture

A follow-up here with the Visita Guanajuato poster: I wanted to show off some of the more nuanced texture, an aspect I’m really proud of!

For my AI nerds, here’s how the technique went down…

– copy and paste shape

– make above shape darker or lighter

– make mask

– place a charcoal brush line within mask

– increase line weight to stretch brush horizontally to a ridiculous degree (that’s the texture effect)

– angle the line perpendicular to the direction I wanted the texture

– cap it off with a roughen distort & grain layer
