Perspective using Illustrator
When creating an illustration or design using a perspective view, it is much easier to do this in Adobe Illustrator than in Photoshop. You seem to have a lot more control, and the tools are quicker to use and help you to get the job done easier. Also, you can go outside of the document restraints if your vanishing point is of the edge of the page. You can make all sorts of guide lines to help you properly alight your elements. Here, I created a mock theatre design based off of dozens of photos that I compiled from the internet. With these, I took elements from different theaters that I likes and created my own. This doesn’t exist in real life.
You can create guides, by selecting any line of lines on your artboard and go to View>Guides>Make Guides. This turns your lines into the blue guidelines to help you along. From the guides menu you were just in, you can also hide and show guides.
From here, once you have all of your basic shapes and objects drawn, you can select all by hitting command and the A key, and hit hot. Then, switch to Photoshop and create a new document at whatever size that you want. If you are doing print work, set the resolution to 300. If you are doing web work, choose 72. Hit ok and then you can paste your lines in. Choose the option to paste as paths. Here you can select each portion of our path and fill it. You can also paint it and add effects to it, making it more realistic. It is amazing how fantastic your work can look if you choose the proper workflow.
