Author: Anonymous Source: enet.com.cn

This example uses dancing people as the main image of the background screen, targeting young people. Taking the promotion of real estate as the theme, a side profile depicting urban noise is used as a further promotion. The text also uses neon light effects to echo the theme.

Let’s take a look at the final effect:

1. Create a new file. Open “File” > “New” or press the Ctrl+N shortcut key, and set the parameters as shown in Figure 1 in the pop-up new dialog box.
