Tutorial #7 Gig Poster Design

Oh my lord, this tutorial took me about 2 1/2 hours to complete, however, the end result was AMAZING!! I learned how to combine shapes and patterns, join text sort of, make live trace layers, mess with the opacity for layers (which I played w/in PS3 but not AI), etc etc!!!!
