I’m working on some ways to help keep this blog breathing in the midst of my swamped schedule. One such attempt is what I have aptly titled: Text Effect Tuesday! (exclamation NOT optional). The idea is surely nothing new or ground breaking, but hopefully it will help me stay on task with regular posting. here is the low down. Every Tuesday I’ll try to post a tutorial involving some sort of typography. Maybe Illustrator, maybe Photoshop, maybe original, maybe linked from another design site.
Today’s Text Effect comes from PSDFAN. It’s tutorial on creating a smokey effect for your text. Not only does this tutorial walk you through the process in 12 easy steps, it provides you with source links for the files you’ll need, courtesy of Stock.XCHNG. (They’re all free!) Here is a preview of the final outcome below. Follow the link for the complete guide. Check it out!
-God bless.
