Richard is a South African graphic designer. For more of his custom cars, you must check his portfolio. Do so, for us to show him some appreciation! I hope you enjoy these. Cheers! ;)
Light effects are my favorite type of effect, I don't know why but I always liked to play around in Photoshop trying to recreate them. Then once I discovered the power of the Blend Modes, especially the Color Dodge, creating this effects became much easier. So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a super cool text light effect mixing some photos to give more realism. The cool thing about this effect is that the whole process is very simple and quite easy.
In this post I'm going to show you some of the tools that I use in my workflow when working with type in Photoshop. Anti-Aliasing The elephant in the room seems to be as good of a place as any to start this post. In previous versions of Photoshop (pre-CS6) selecting the type of anti-aliasing method to use came down to choosing the best from a bad bunch really. However, a few months ago Adobe introduced two new OS-native options in the anti-aliasing settings in Photoshop: “Mac” and “Mac LCD”.
It's the first week of the new year and nothing better than to spend some time organizing and starting to improve our design library of assets and resources. To help you get started we feature some really cool desk objects mockups. Though despite being overused they are always useful and thanks to Graphic Burger you can download 38 isolated objects.
A creative mind will light up anyone's day, right? Of course! Even more when you're talking about amazingly cute animals in suits. It may sound funny, but from the feature image you get the picture already. This project by Spanish designer Yago Partal truly reminds me of the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox, which featured animals in clothing, many such as these used by Yago. The only sad part about it is that many of these animals dress better I do (lol).
