THE SOJOURNER FALSE

Pardon my language, but vector can (insert vulgar insult towards Illustrator).  My hatred to this program is undying.  The only thing I have personally had success with in this god-forsaken program is transferring a 2D Logo and making it 3D...and that took 3 hours to figure out.  I will try tutorials, but may the mighty digital gods smote wrath upon the heathens who developed this Adobe product.

Photoshop is nice.

Here is my attempt at Illustrator and Vector Graphics.

Dear christ.  The uploading even looks odd.  Alright...so this is my attempt at realizing the concept I had in Illustrator.  I only hate it because I have only used it for two days, but the learning curve is much higher than Photoshop, even for avid users.  So I messed around with a couple things, couldn't realize my concept for either due to limitations, so I went with a "Simple, but Elegant" approach.  I was going to have words that I wrote completely covering the screen, but at a low opacity so that you couldn't see the word I was trying to display (Camouflage).  It's easy to see because I was not able to get that effect, so I put red under the lines of text to divert attention, all the while putting a back layer underneath the text that has a texturized rectangle layer.  So...yeah.  I hope to get my concepts working, but it'll be a lot of tutorial reading.  Onward, ho.
