2. Grunge Rubber Stamp

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…

10. Reflective Liquid Type

Tutorials on creating metal type abound online, as do variations on simple liquid effects. Most are fairly short, offering a good foundation for the reader on how certain effects are achieved but fail to take that extra step (or few steps) to make the piece really shine. Once you have an idea of how different techniques fit together in a piece, it is fairly easy to combine, say, the process to create metal and the process to create liquid to create something that exists in both sides of the FX map.
