Sijun Forums :: View topic - Photoshop Tutorial - "Clag-Logo in 18 minutes" capture

Hi...

don�t know if this is for any good. But maybe some beginners will find some useful information of how to use photoshop in this 18-minute record. It shows ALL the steps on the way to the image shown below. The graphical quality of the logo is not very impressive, but since I wanted to keep the size of the capture as low as possible while showing quite a lot ps-features, I had to make some compromises.

The capture is about 18 minutes long and consists of three parts, about 10 megabyte at all. All steps, mouse-movements and ps-palettes were captures at 640x480 screen-size. I used www.camtasia.com for recording, so you need to install the tscc-codec to view the avis with windows media-player. The codec as well as the avis can be downloaded here:

http://www.pixtur.de/Tutorial05/capture.html

I don�t know, if tscc-avis can be viewed on mac.

I commented most of the used technics, but since my english is far too bad, it�s all still in german.

some of the technics shown and explained:
- using paths to create typography and outlines
- using layers (grouped-, adjustment-, layersettings, linked layers)
- creating and using selections to draw details like bevels, shadows, etc.
- using overlay-layers to add some texture
- using screen-layer-mode to add some lenseflare (ughh...)
- using the blur-filter
- using the smudge-tool

IMAGE REMOVED BECAUSE OF UGLYNESS

have fun...

Just one lens flare? Are you sure about this?

It's very funny, but neat.

Is this the right forum???? I think just about anyone could follow a tutorital, and my opinion is that this is more like a "art" forum. www.pankpages.com would probably a better alternative......

ok...

Maybe you�re right. It was a stupid idea, posting this poor logo. I was wrong, in making the technic more important than the content (art would be the wrong word here)

CyberLink & Jenn: Maybe I was a too busy in doing a tutorial, than thinking about what to show with it. So I went all wrong - showing bad things instead of helping. Mhhh... Looks like I am in nice mess. So I start again with another nick, or stop posting/reading the forum?! Reaching your kind of experience can be pretty hard.

Damn, I feel bad.

hmm, but sometimes logos have a very artistic feel - go check pixtur's site and look at that HC-Clan logo - it's very tribal like...

and if I remember right these boards aren't called "illustrations only" - I even saw here screendesigns and stuff, so....
