How to Create a Starburst Graphic
I see these things everywhere. On the web, in print, even on clothing. Kind of retro, kind of modern, kind of asian, kind of cool. I found a tutorial I liked and I have rewritten it using Adobe Photoshop CS3 for windows. The Starburst translates well as a background for items in a print catalog as well as an e-commerce website. Take a look at the tutorial that follows. This is a very simple filter based tutorial. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 4 on the difficulty scale.
ENJOY!
