Black Widow Killers

Black Widow Killers, originally uploaded by Fotodog_1.

An exercise in creationism and efficiencies using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS3.

The Black Widow spider, spider web and maltese cross were all created in Illustrator. To keep things uniform, I used the Effect>Transform command multiple times to get them the way I needed.
After getting them into a usable format, I created symbols so I can reuse these at a later date without having to create all over again.

I exported each symbol as a Photoshop file and combined the three. They are all Smart Objects in Photoshop so if I do need to edit them, the updates will transfer directly into the Photoshop file.

Cheers,
