Excerpt: Welcome to part two of designing a vintage poster. If you missed part one, be sure to catch up! Last week’s tutorial covered most of the heavy lifting: concept, color, and composition all took place in Illustrator using elements from Vector Set 16. Today we’re going to take our design into Photoshop for some tender love & care. We’ll learn about adding tactile character using Photoshop’s Bitmap filter, applying Spray Paint Textures for a handmade urban vibe, polishing with motion blur, and finally adding selective contrast with the dodge and burn tools.

Excerpt: Introduction When you think about the design process, what comes to mind? I believe it is the combination of thoughts, mixed with emotions and pure forms that capture a person’s attention. We are all part of this thing called “madness. ” The definition of Madness: 1. The state of being mad; insanity. 2. Senseless folly: It is sheer madness to speak as you do. 3. Frenzy; rage. 4. Intense excitement or enthusiasm. In this tutorial, we’ll be modifying vector elements from Vector Set 16 to create a retro-vintage poster. Along the way we’ll uncover tips in Illustrator…

Excerpt: Introduction: This tutorial will show you how to make a killer Fashion Model Poster using basic Photoshop functions like Layer Styles, Vector Masks and Filters like Motion Blur. At a time when there’s more DOWNLOADING of source material than actually USING it, this tutorial will get you through the end with only three stock images—two if you have experience with Cinema 4D. Also, instead of the monotonous step-by-step form of tutorials you find all over the net, I’m using a different approach. Basically I’ll be explaining each effect separately so that you can use this elsewhere and not restrict yourself to the final image…

Excerpt: Here’s a quick technique that I use to fake depth of field in Photoshop and add realism to my images. I’ve seen this technique mentioned in various tutorials I’ve read, so it’s really nothing new. But it’s a good trick that I feel you should know. 1. Create a new Channel 2. With that Channel selected, add a reflected gradient at about 80 degrees. Black in the center and white around the edges. 3. Select your RGB channel and go back to…

Excerpt: While working on the poster for DIT Fest last week I managed to create an impressive text effect that I will likely reuse for awhile. It’s very subtle and does not look like a filter. I’m simply adding a slightly aged, worn, or screen-printed look to any typeface. You can even apply this effect to any solid color shape or vector graphic for a hand-made screen-printed look—all done in Photoshop. Create your type as you normally would Rasterize the type Add noise, around 25%. Be sure the check the ‘Monochromatic’ checkbox. Adjust the Input Levels, bring the black level up to…
