   Cool way to create text. Taking nothing and making something out of it.

   Texture plus technique multiplied by imagination equals realism.

   Another great tutorial, however, please warn me to look away the next time you stretch text. I died a little inside.

   Ah, that touch of colour made it infintely better, it was looking pretty bland and simple before that (y)

    That’s a great texture image. Is that an istockphoto gem? Where did you find that image? Most steel texture images are smooth. The scratches and blemishes make it more gritty.

25. Rick said on — March 30, 2009 @ 8:31 am

    Nice. I like the tutorial. But It’s really cool to watch you work and see how you do things. You also used a couple of features that I’ve never seen used before, so I get to mess with those now.

    Thanks!

    It’ so coooooooooool! The one I was looking for, but… May I use exactly the same effect to create a logo for the web but also for printing with big dimensions and resolutions maintaining always the same quality both on web with small images and for printing with big ones? I mean: when creating once, may I use it for all my purposes? Thanx
