So, if you are looking for a tutorial, and cant find it, ask about it here!


I'll start off.
Does anyone know how to make letters look like they were stamped onto a piece of paper? I'm trying to make a logo for Nick (thisisoriginal) and I need some help with that.
Thanks guys,

John

Could you give an example? From what I think, there should be a font for that.

Use the pillow emboss in blending options I think.

Johnny Sprague

Lord Moo: Eh, I looked everywhere for one. Couldn't find it.

Etnies: Thanks! I'll try it out on my other computer in a few.

a cropping tutorial wouldnt be that hard to make. Cropping is rather easy, just zoom in very close and use the Polygonal Lasso Tool. :)

Kato
02-25-2007, 04:58 PM
There are far easier methods than zooming in. That takes a longgggg time.

So how do you crop nicely? I need to learn it. Also, my vectoring is real weak...Need to brush up a lil bit.

At some point soon I will give a stencil making tutorial for the Gimp. Which should be able to be translated to photoshop pretty easy.

Can someone tell me how to make a picture into a zero style ad?

Kato
02-26-2007, 11:38 AM
Give me an example of a zero ad, and i'll try to whip up a tutorial.

Kato

It's really nothing more than a font and some basic vectoring? Or maybe colorization. I guess I can post a [BASIC] tutorial on making a zero style add/banner/whatever.

arto-geoff
02-27-2007, 02:52 PM
okay thatd be sweet man cheers

Vandatta
02-27-2007, 05:07 PM
Arto-Geoff, I'd suggest searching through http://www.dafont.com/ to find a font similar to those in the Zero ads. Look through the sections of font styles that a font like that would be located. Good luck :)

FightFlyCrow
02-27-2007, 05:26 PM
Arto-Geoff you can look at my stenciling guide for the way to get the photo like that. Just do not worry about cutting out the background, and the bridge making.

Johnny Sprague

There's an easy way to render...
Take a pre-rendered image, and take the magic wand and take the white out ;)

That works but the results aren't that great. The only way to get very good results is to do it manually with one of the lasso tools.

Johnny Sprague
03-03-2007, 02:48 PM
The results are fine, depending on how well the person rendered it at first.
The lasso tool isnt the only way, it might be for you, but not for everyone.

Does any one know of a way to export an image from Gimp that has invisible areas. Meaning if I post the image on the cafe it would have parts that are the light blue color.

i wanted to make an analog stencil so i could spray my wall, but im having trouble enlarging the logo. I select the borders, and convert them to paths, but it will always ask you to input a value above 0.5, which makes the path do weird stuff. Is there an alternative way to enlarging simple logos?

there you go. Its currently set at 12.5 by 12.5 inches, but you can resize it to whatever size you want and it wont loose resolution. :)

FightFlyCrow

From my research I have determained that vexeling is the same thing as vectoring.

theirs no shortcut way to do it. Edits like that takes a lot of time and effort. The way they describe it their is the exact way to do it. Zoom in and trace it with the pen tool.
