We love playing with typography, it's simple and always effective not only in terms of outcomes but the amount we can learn by experimenting with text effects. From 3D to light effects or simply creating a furry text effect with a leopard style texture. That's the idea of the following Pixelmator tutorial.

Photoshop CS6 has some great features, one of them is the new timeline for basic animations and this time Photoshop gets a little bit of the After Effects taste. As the idea of the blog is to play with these tools, we decided to come up with something for this new feature.

We will be revisiting the Clash of the Titans tutorial with the new effect inspiring on the Wrath of the Titans poster.

Digital LCD effects are very common but they still impress me especially in terms of light effects. The way the light gets blurry on the edges and super strong in the center is simply amazing. I have been doing this kind of effect for quite a long time but never shared exactly this one and using Pixelmator.

It's been quite some time now since the last time we've featured watercolor illustrations, which are by far one of or favorite illustration techniques. These illustrations usually get super stylish and very beautiful, just like these, by Thony Silas.
