Making the design

Origonally I had never planned on using the design I ended up using so the first few desigsns don’t look like the Final product

Now for the images. For the most part I used smart objects to create the skyline and words.

I used the gradient tool(both linear and circular) to create the gradients.

The images are just separate image files that I changed the layer kind to linear dodge
