In today’s tutorial I’m going to take you through the process of creating a blueprint effect in Adobe Photoshop. If you don’t fancy spending hours construcing a technical drawing from scratch, this is a great technique for faking it. We’ll use some built in Photoshop filters to produce the basic outlines from a source photograph, then mix in some grid patterns and textures to enhance the realism.
In today’s Adobe Illustrator tutorial we’re going to build a vintage logo design. Mine is based on inspiration from my recent Canada road trip, but you’ve probably seen these kinds of vintage style badges and emblems scattered across inspiration galleries.
We’ll use some ready made graphics from my free Wilderness Logo Survival Kit, which will allow me to focus mostly on the typographic aspect in this tutorial, where we’ll use a mix of type based tools in Adobe Illustrator to construct the layout.
Creating cartoon characters in Adobe Illustrator is always lots of fun! You don’t even need great drawing skills. Making illustrations out of basic shapes not only simplifies the process, it also produces a stylised appearance that adds to the cute factor. In today’s tutorial I’ll take you through the step by step process of creating a vector dinosaur. It’s only made from rectangles and circles, but the clever tools within Illustrator make it easy to construct a recognisable character design.
In today’s Adobe Illustrator tutorial we’re going to create a vector polygon style logo graphic that’s made up of numerous shapes, each with a gradient fill which gives it a faceted diamond kind of appearance. I’m using the image of a wolf’s head in this tutorial, but the same process can be used to create all kinds of abstract graphics.
In today’s tutorial we’re going to play around in Adobe Photoshop and have fun creating a faceless man with a window to his soooouuuul! We’ll use some simple photo manipulation techniques to digitally cut away the face and tidy up the edges, then we’ll place a vibrant cosmic space image inside the head and finish it all off with some refinements, lighting effects and a complementary quote to produce a surreal piece of artwork.
In today’s Adobe Illustrator tutorial I’m going to take you through the entire process of designing a business card, from the initial print file setup through to receiving the freshly printed business card product. Using this live project for Treck Dog Walking as an example, I’ll show you what to look out for when creating your designs and explain how your digital design is converted into a physical CMYK print.
