    Step 1: Your Background
    [​IMG]
    Find a nice yellow C4d and smudge it to your liking. You should get something similar to that.
    [​IMG]
    Duplicate the layer and set it to Soft Light 45% opacity.
    [​IMG]
    Find an affect C4D (In other words a C4d that is placed on a black background.) Find a good spot where it seems like it may add some descent flow and set to Overlay normal opacity.
    [​IMG]
    Duplicate that one and set it to Soft Light 50% opacity.
    [​IMG]
    Find a fractal C4D render (No background, kinda wispy looking C4D) and place it somewhere where it adds descent flow. Erase unwanted parts and set to Lighten 55% opacity.
    [​IMG]
    Pop another affect C4D in and set to Lighten 50% opacity.
    [​IMG]
    Now to add some light, I popped in a blue light stock. You can really due this with a blue soft brush, but I suggest a high quality stock. I set it to lighten.
    Step 2: Your render
    [​IMG]
    Slap it in change up the hue, saturation, lightness, and whatnot.
    Step 3: Effects
    [​IMG]
    Black to white gradient map set to Luminosity.
    [​IMG]
    Added a white and a black bar to the left to fill some space. set to overlay. Then made a new layer and applied the image. Gaussian blurred it by 1 and set it to lighten 80% opacity.
    [​IMG]
    Cooling photo filter 25.
    [​IMG]
    Used soft brushes of colors from the background to create some lighting. Set to overlay opacity is up to you.
    [​IMG]
    Apply Image, sharpen. Blur anything too sharp. Go to filter>render> Lightning effects. Make light coming from the bottom right corner on an APPLIED IMAGE. Do the same with a lens flare on an APPLIED IMAGE.
    [​IMG]
    Add text. Duplicate, smudge the bottom one. Top set to overlay, bottom set to soft light.

    Very Nice!

    I don't like at the bottom right how the shadow cuts off the light.
    The fractal C4D does a good job of using space but...
    At the top right whatever that is it's distracting. You can tell there is unused space there.
    As for the bar on the left I don't favor it much. It's a nice touch though.

    All in all it's good.
