We will learn how to execute rendering the vector motorbike to the correct size, color mode, and resolution. Next we will arrange the initial composition set up by adding the dynamic sunset sky to the backdrop. Then we will use a combination of the layer masks and the eraser tool to isolate the sky and erase the water. After this we shall inject brightness and contrast to the sky by exploring different Blendmode combinations. Also we use Alpha channels to erase the background from the cityscape buildings then add a layer style to them. We will then employ a background color that has interesting contrast as well as having a corporate finish. Finally we will add a small amount of copy to the advertisement that accentuates the power and elegance of the motorbike.
