For the first tutorial of 2012 we wanted to have a really good one and the most important thing a very easy one because our goal for this new year is to provide good tutorials with simple techniques that achieve great outcomes. In this first case we will explore ways to create letterpress effect using Photoshop only.
So in this tutorial we will show you how to create a super easy and realistic letterpress effect using Layer Styles in Photoshop. The process is super simple and I am sure that you won't take more than 45 minutes to achieve the same result.
The wallpaper of this week is an image from Saad Moosajee and it is an illustration that is a part of his new series, nature in technicolor. We also are offering wallpapers for the new iPad with Retina Display.
