This week during 20% time I found a photoshop tutorial that showed me how to create a starry night background. This tutorial involved using alot of Gaussian Blur effects. First step I had to add noise which gave the background a bunch of white dots.

Next I had to use the Gaussian Blur effect, this reduced the amount of stars but also brightened the stars that were left.

Lastly, I airbrushed a few of the stars so that they looked like they were bright and made those stars stand out more.

Nice one. Where is the final project file?
