To finish off every year I enjoy taking a moment to look back at my content from the past 12 months to compare how all my articles, tutorials, freebies and videos performed in terms of view counts. This is my greatest hits collection for 2017, broken down into individual top 10 roundups for each category. Did you miss any of these most popular posts? Which one from the list was your favourite? Or was there a particular piece of content you found really useful that didn’t make the cut?
Access All Areas members have a lovely new font to download this week, courtesy of Sivioco. Vittoria Light is a flared serif display typeface inspired by a strange mix of 1970s and classic roman type. It comes with a great selection of glyphs and is packed with OpenType features, including Proportional Lining Figures, Tabular Lining Figures, Superior & Inferior Figures, Numerators & Denominators, Ordinals and Fractions, making it perfect for logos, posters, packaging, headlines, and more.
The Duotone effect is still proving to be a really popular trend years after I initially talked about the topic in a video tutorial back in 2015, where I showed how to replicate the Spotify Style Duotone Photo Effect from their rebrand at the time. That post also contains a free Photoshop Action you’re welcome to download, but today I have a fresh Duotone themed design resource for you to play with. My new collection of free Gradient presets contains 40 vibrant colour combinations you can pick and choose from to add really stylish effects to your photos and images. Use them in combination with a Photoshop Gradient Map to quickly produce the popular Duotone effect.
