Another update with some of the most useful photoshop tutorials for all designers. HAPPY PHOTOSHOPPING….
- The following tut discusses techniques on how to achieve this type of composition. The original (I believe is a AI vector) will be reconstructed in PS. I just want to make it clear that this is not my image. I am merely clarifying technique for the sake of learning!
- In this tutorial you’ll learn how to make some easy snow.
- Through this tutorial, we will learn how to use a combination of photoshop filters to create a realistic effect of water running from a tap.
- Page curl is also commonly used in creating the distressed and collage looks. This simple walkthrough can be applied to any photo to add an extra bit of detail.
- Lets face it - rubber stamps are an amazingly quick and easy way of marking something in real life, but recreating them in Photoshop is a little more difficult. Unlike real media, the electronic canvas does not have creases, folds, and underlying texture to distort the ink. Neither does an electronic stamp have problems with ink adherence, creating a unique effect every time it is used. That is not to say, of course, that Photoshop cannot reproduce these little nuances of real media. The aim of this tutorial is to describe a simple method to create grunge brushes, and to detail how these brushes can be used to reproduce realism in our rubber-stamped logos. Interested? Read on…
- Ok here is the tutorial to make the realistic graffitti on wall
