We have another awesome Photoshop casestudy for you today. Instead of a traditional tutorial, this is a case-study of the steps involved in constructing the sleek Photoshop piece ‘Explosion of Colors and Shapes’ by Andre Meca.

You can see how every detail was assembled, and how the composition developed over time. I hope that this provides an interesting insight into this great designer! Please let me know your thoughts on the piece and it’s construction.

    Loving these case studies Tom, Keep em coming. Very inspirational. Great work Andrea. Maybe you could do an in depth tutorial for PSDFAN? Even tho the pictures are self explanatory (for me anyway lol) It would be great for the site and for photoshop learners around the world.

    I really like the amount of creativity in this product. Modern art at its pinical. However, as far as tutorials go there is no direction as to how the effects are created, no image resource list, and the tutorial seems backwards. Ending with the background and starting with front elements. I would really like it if a step by step display of which blending modes, brush sets, and images were used in this product. All the same amazing layout and color scheme

    Hi there Micah and thank’s for the kind words!
    The Step by Step is not gonna happen in this piece, cuz this work was made for a contest, and i don’t have that time now to do it, so i’ve done the case study in this one!
    But in the future i’m gonna make descritive tutorials! As soon a i have some time free!
    Thank’s once again!
