hahaha, this is awesome, you should do another one of butterflies, swirls, circles, and arrows. You totally got this one down though, hilarious!

I'm pretty certain even a monkey could do what you just did. You took a bunch of other peoples' work and put it into one document. The only thing that would require even a slight amount of talent was the curved black lines, and that was just a filter.

Way to write a tutorial on how to plagiarize. Good job, really.

Not only are you just teaching plagiarism, this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH TYPOGRAPHY. You amateurish ass.

um, what did I just waste my time on?

I don't understand the negative remarks. The author did a lot of work creating the tutorial and name calling doesn't accomplish anything. Not everyone is looking to achieve the same results. This tutorial is very nice and will help beginners learn how to manipulate different pictures into one design. It shows how to use layering, overlay mode, gradients, opacity and more. There are a lot of beginners who are looking for basic tutorials to suit their specific needs. Nice Tut!

This was a great tutorial :) I'm in my photography class right now and I was doing a photoshop assignment where I had to find a tutorial and follow it to make my own photo(also using my own pictures and graghic art). It was easy enough, but was still complicated enough to actually make it look good. The only problem I had was that I didn't have the right tools and couldn't download them so I had to improvise. Either way, I JUST finished it and I love it :)

This is great tutorial, I never knew that those brushes existed; I always recreated the effect manually, line by line. Thanks! (Don't listen to the "unimpressed" commenters, this helped a lot).

I don't understand the negative remarks either. The tutorial is indeed helpful to many and I'm sure the efforts put into it are not wasted at all.

No offence, but this does not look good. This is just a bunch of copy/paste with no real consistent style.
maroc said on 2008-04-20 18:04:13
Thank you very much,
I always wanted to do something similar with photoshop.
Thank you again

woah, the girl. who is she?

Mickey said on 2008-04-21 14:04:37
Well, it is an useful tutorial for some people, I guess... I have to agree, there is no sign of typography here, just technical work.
psg said on 2008-04-23 00:04:00
Special thanks to everyone who had contributed comments, I will try my best on next tutorials.
Teresa said on 2008-04-23 00:04:30
Great Job, Very easy to understand
Don't let the negative comment's get to you, your work is greatly appreciated. Thank You

Yeah, monkeys tend to follow monkeys, I noticed that as soon as there is one negative remark on many posts, that sparks more negativism on all subsequent posts, is like one rotten apple spoiling the whole basket! In any event, yeah, I say this is a rather technical tutorial, and I don't think is intended to be aesthetically appealing inasmuch as it is intended to be technical (i.e. here are the tools here is how you can create something). I would like to see the work of all the people who have posted a negative comment here, and see where their work really stands, I find it most of the time, these kind of foes have a larger mouth than nature intended to give them.

Very nice thank you! Do you know where can I find tutorial like these for paint shop pro instead of photoshop?
designer said on 2008-06-01 16:06:54
