Today we’re going to learn how to create a super creative collage effect, using a range of photo manipulation, blending and compositional techniques. You’ll learn how to correctly extract your images, layer up various effects to create a sense of depth and detail, and create a cool sketchy hand-drawn effect for your photos.
Final Image
As always, this is the final image we’ll be creating:

Introduction

In this Photoshop Text Effect you’ll learn to create cool Scrapbook style text that can be used as a stand alone word treatment or converted to individual reusable .png files with a transparent background.
READ THIS: If you haven’t already done the Text In Stitches tutorial and you want to add the stitches to your lettering like you see in the preview, I strongly recommend you take a spin through that lesson first. Be sure to download and install the Stitches brush set that’s included in that lesson so you’ve got it and are ready to go.

Introduction

Over the years as a graphic designer I’ve accumulated a wealth of custom brushes, shapes and actions that I keep carefully organized and labeled for future use. The brush set I’ll be sharing with you today has been in my collection for probably five of six years and every once in a while I’ll find a good reason to load it into my brushes palette. If you’ve never done that before, don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it as we go.
If you’re playing along at home you should download the brush set before we get started.

Photoshop is great tool for combining several images into a scene that can’t always be created in real life, like an android. In this tutorial I will teach you how to manipulate body parts, create depth from missing pieces and also how to integrate gears and engines to make an sexy mechanical pinup.

You should already know how to load Brushes into Photoshop and how to rotate those brushes in the Brushes palette. If that sounds like Chinese to you, check out my previous tutorials on the subject: Installing And Managing Brushes & Other Presets  and  Rotating Brushes.

This tutorial on creating a retro look is a great example of how Illustrator handles transparency in your Photoshop images and text objects. We’ll also create some smashing text effects using the envelope distort feature and show you how you can edit your text even after it’s been distorted in groovy ways. Yeah, baby.
