I saw this text effect the other day on a poster design and I really like it. This engraved text effect can be so cool especially if you couple it with the right font. So, I decided to write a tutorial here on how to create this engraved text effect or you can call it a carved text effect. It looks like the words are carved or engraved on the wood, rock or whatever texture you decide to use. This

This is a compilation of printable birthday cards I designed last week. For some reason, I was in the mood to create something. Maybe it's the new year spirit. These cards were created using some cool vectors I found on the web. Credit to arsgrafik, dezignation, Birdhaus Design, designious, allfreevectors and coolvectors for the amazing vector resources. The cards are free for personal use and I

For quite a while, I've been meaning to write this wrap up post that compiles all the available PSD files that you can download from this blog. I'll keep updating this post (depending on my schedule) to reflect the latest uploaded PSDs. If you love experimenting with coloring effect on your photo, then by all means, please bookmark this page or you're always welcomed to follow this blog,

It's a very simple effect to achieve on your image and don't be intimidated if you just started using Photoshop.

I am actually pretty excited to show you this effect. I'm calling it the Halftone Wave Photo Effect. I think it is really cool and will work very well on a poster or flyer. I imagine in my head, it would be like a rock concert flyer, some cool party invitation..or something like that. But this effect can be used beyond my imagination. You are all smart people and I'm sure you can figure out the

That is why we have technology or more specifically, an image editing program called Photoshop. And our tutorial today will show you how to turn a digital photo into a nice pencil sketch image. You'll learn how to create a black and white pencil sketch. Also, you'll have the

One of the things I love to do is to collect fonts. If that is one of your passion too, then I hope you'll enjoy this new selection of fonts I've compiled exclusively for the readers of this blog. Some of the fonts are designed to be in large scale. These fonts are great for big poster design where you can appreciate each detail, every curve and corner of the font. They could be useful for your

Like every other post, it's like an obligation for me to type in a short introduction. Sure, you can go ahead, look at the picture and figure out instantly what this post is all about. But then, it wouldn't look so nice in terms of presentation or space utilization right?. So, today's tutorial is about creating borders in Photoshop. We are gonna learn to make two types of borders. The first one

Not many of us buy picture frame anymore. Most of the things are digital these days. So, it's only natural for me to write this tutorial on how to create a simple border or frame for your digital photo. Everybody posted pictures in Facebook or blogs but not many posted pictures with borders and frames as cool as what I'm about to show you later. So, why not be different (or if your prefer to call

You may have your own way of doing it. There is no right or wrong. The government can't control the way we do grunge (at least this statement is still true in my country). Grunge is the art of appreciating the flaws in everything we see in the world. Stain, dirt, scratch and rust are some of the imperfections that make grunge so perfect (isn't it ironic?) If I may summarize what grunge is in my

Vintage vs. retro, is there any difference between these two? I'm sure Google will have the answer to this question. Some of us may even have their very own opinion on this. Whatever it is, let's not argue about it here. Because today, I'm going to share with you a bunch of color palettes which I found very interesting and beautiful. Call them vintage colors or if it suit you more, you can

What do I know about color harmony? Probably not enough to make you understand. But all of us were born with the natural talent to identify beauty when we see it. We might interpret things differently though. So, you can agree with me with these collection of color combo or we can agree to disagree. These are some of the color palettes that I really like {We, @ Best Photoshop Tutorials, think

Perhaps a good photography practice is to try your best to avoid getting a lens flare on your captured image. But sometimes, for a twisted artistic reason we want to get that lens flare on our image. Now, if you're really good with your camera, maybe you can play around with the settings and figure out the perfect angle to get that lens flare effect. However, if you're still struggling with that

If you've been checking out this blog and realize there's no update for the past 2 weeks. Don't worry, it hasn't been abandoned yet. No matter how much fun I have in real life, I always come back here. Today, I come out with this fun and colorful project. I'd like to call it Project Pop Art. Of course it doesn't define pop art as a whole, but I guess there's certain element in this project that I
