Fri 1/25 - Geometry Texture Overlay

One requirement for the project is each poster should include a texture overlay to give the design's a 'tangible' quality.

1.) Grab a texture file that is a large image from a sites like

• https://www.textures.com/
• https://www.freeimages.com

Texture should be subtle - edit the photo in Photoshop first if you need to! 

2.) In Illustrator, bring in the texture on its own layer. Make sure the texture layer is on TOP of all other layers. 

3.) Change that layer's blending mode to Multiply or Overlay. (Click on Opacity to find blending modes.) Play with decreasing the opacity for a subtle effect.

4.) Lock the texture layer so that you can continue to edit the layers underneath.
