I was browsing the Strava challenges page and noticed the following design:
I like the way the chevron design has a color masking effect on the circles.
I imagine illustrator would be a better software choice due to its superior vector tools, but how would one achieve this effect in Photoshop?
Answer
There are many ways, but I might use Clipping mask
to mask out everything that is outside the circles.
I made one arrow and duplicated it. I also Linked the arrows, so that they can be moved freely, as shown in the gif below.
Yellow arrow is in a clipping mask with Circle - RED
and Red arrow is in clipping mask with Circle - BLACK
