Artist's Comments

If you've enjoyed this tutorial, feel free to visit my portfolio ([link]) for more tutorials, resources and some pretty wallpaper-packs.

What you'll learn:
- Creating A Bubble Brush
- Creating / Employing Actions
- Illustrating 3D-Typography Using Only Photoshop
- Illustrating Vector Swirls
- Additional Visual Effects

I will most likely not be the first person to tell you that three-dimensional typography is experiencing an ever increasing popularity amongst both designers and their audience. An understandable development as the third dimension introduces new elements and uncharted playgrounds into the wonderful world of typography, combining the aspects of design and communication in an unparalleled fashion. While most other articles on 3D-typography employ external 3D-rendering applications, this introduction will guide you through the complete process of recreating the tutorial’s cover illustration using Adobe Photoshop and it’s built-in tools only. The tutorial comes with the illustration’s original, layered .PSD-file, a set of 8 3D-Actions and the original bubble- and smudge-brushes.

Yeah, I'm actually German. I hope that's not apparent from my tutorials though :)

Which magazine are you speaking of? The overall style of the tutorial was heavily influenced by Computer Arts ( [link] ) which I highly recommend if you are interested in inspiration, technique and insight into the creative industry.

Everything else is my very own attempt at creating valuable resources in an inspirational and informal style.

ComputerArts kannst Du auch in Deutschland abbonieren - kaufen dürfte nur in sehr großen Städten oder bei dem Kiosbetreiber Deines Vertrauens möglich sein. Das Magazin kommt aus England und ein Jahresabo liegt so um die 90 EUR.

Sobald ich ein gutes Dutzend an Tutorials dieser Qualität zusammen habe werde ich sicherlich mal überlegen eine gedruckte Version davon in den (Online-)Handel zu bekommen, aber das ist noch Zukunftsmusik (genau wie die deutschen Versionen der Tutorials :))

Alles Gute nach Niedersachsen!

also ich würd mir die deutsche onlineversion sofort bestellen/kaufen/runterladen ;)

natürlich kann ich englisch, und das meiner meinung nach gut, aber das ganze mal auf deutsch zuhören oder eben zu lesen ist ja was ganz anderes...

aus welchem bundesland kommst du denn:? hab gesehen das es hier sogar ein NRW-club gibt. weißt ob evtl. ein niedersachsen club existiert:?
