ice cream - work in progress

work in progress, a photo by only lucy on Flickr.

If you have a look at my flickr stream you will see I am having a go at working on an ice cream poster idea I had recently. I am in need of some help though, both from a graphic design perspective and from a technical (in this case Illustrator) perspective. I am want to add texture to the image but I suspect that I would be better doing that in Photoshop, shame I killed the computer that had Photoshop on.
