I find that tutorials usually give me a way of doing something that I usually don’t think of.  So I like to expand my repertoire of skills but expanding them even more.  Here are two Photoshop tutorials that I just did.

Photoshop Tutorial 1 This was a type tutorial, but I really didn’t like the type on the image. So I decided to do my own thing. And here it is.

The next tutorial is featured on a great tutorial site called PSD Tuts. Here’s the tutorial that I did: 3dType PSD Tut I used some different colors and again kind of did my own thing. Nothing wrong with just figuring things out.

I just did Bekes Blog because I am looking into adding a blog specifically to Bekes Creative I do have a lot of work to do for that site. Mainly designing it and coding it. What I have up there right now is just temporary.

And here is a list of 50 + Typography Tutorials Happy Photoshoping!

I recently took a little road trip down through the Florida Keys. There were lots of interesting eye treats on the way down to Key West, which was the final destination. So that means that I took a large number of ridiculous photos. I recently found a vintage photo tutorial and wanted to try it out on some of the pics that I took. So here is the results.

This boat was just laying by the road and I thought it would be perfect for the vintage feel. You know old wood boat, old vintage pic. I followed the tutorial to the T for this one. Here’s the tutorial Vintage Photo Tutorial

If you have seen my Twitter profile, this is my picture. This picture alone cracks me up. A giant shrimp attached to the top of a blue station wagon. Priceless. I just threw this in above the boat layer in Photoshop. Then I added some grungy corners with the grungy corner brushes that I have. I also upped the contrast on the car picture itself. Super awesome Florida treat.

So I’ve been up to no good. More like up to a lot of good. Did some more tutorials. This time in Illustrator and with type. Kinda fun. So I thought that I would share.

And here is the link to the actual Blueprint tutorial. BLUEPRINT I don’t know why I just kept doing my name, but it was fun. Funny because I used to make blueprints when I worked for that land surveyor in a past life. The smell of ammonia would kill me. Now I can just make it online. Holla!

Here is my blinged out type. Again, I did my name, just because I can. This one was cool because you use a lot of gradients and make a pattern. Then you create a new fill, which I never do and use another gradient. Also, the little blinged out stars are fun too. Now I can work on any rapper’s new album. Here’s the link to the blinged out type tutorial: BLING BLING
I realized that I kept doing sweet versions of my own name. So, to change it up a bit I did a little Jesus in there. This type has 3 gradient strokes on it. I just kept copying the new fill layer that I created to give me more gradient strokes. Also, the font that I chose was distressed, giving more texture. Here is a link for the Gradient Stokes
I found these tutorials through Design Feed Follow them on twitter!

I’ve been doing a lot of tutorials lately.  Mostly Photoshop.  It’s good because it gives me techniques that I usually wouldn’t even think of.  Enjoy! These are all original and all made from scratch in pshop!
