Introduction Hello everyone, before we get down to actually starting any Photoshop work I thought I would say a few words. First, and most importantly, I should state that this is by no means a tutorial for beginners. Basically, the idea behind this tutorial is to document the process I used while making this image from start to finish. Realistically, it would also be almost impossible for me to record every single action I make while producing an image. Another way in which this article might differ from a more traditional 'recipe' style tutorial is the lack of precise instructions. Anyway, it's time to start thinking about creating this image. Right, enough of that.

Creating a Vector Composite Effect from a Photo This tutorial will demonstrate how to take an image, in this case a woman's face, and give the appearance that it is entirely composed of vector shapes. Along the way, we'll use some fairly basic techniques, including clipping masks and displacement maps, to achieve a unique effect! To begin, create a new document of pretty much whatever size you'd like. I personally prefer a wider look for this effect, but any size should work. You should, however, probably stick to a landscape aspect ratio, at least for following this tutorial. I chose an image size of 720 x 480 pixels at a resolution of 300 pixels per inch. Once you've created your new image, fill the background layer with solid black. Next, we have to find an image to work with. You can use an image of almost anything for this effect, but to follow this tutorial, your best bet is to choose an image similar to mine, i.e. a human face. Once you have your image, place it into your document as a new layer.
grunge backgrounds Today we are going to make a wallpaper with a flower text effect using Illustrator and Photoshop. The PSD File for this tutorial can be found at the bottom of this post.

But of course, I want my readers to have at least the basic knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop. Step 1 Open Illustrator and create a new document 1024px width by 768px height, with an RGB color. Step 2 After creating the floral layer, copy the layer and move it below the floral layer. Once the Artistic Effects dialogue box opens click on the “Paint Brush” effect. Now keeping the “floral_style” layer selected make the stroke color as black (#000000). Step 3 Then go to Effects > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Step 4 Now we will be adding the flowers to the text. Open the fbg_lldkiejn.ai file in Illustrator. Step 5 Step 6 Lets add some stones to it. Step 7 We are done with Illustrator now. Step 8

Everything is done using a few stock images and a few techniques already used on my previous tutorials.

Awesome Floral Type in Fireworks and Photoshop in 5 minutes | Ab A few weeks ago we had a very nice Vector Packs giveway from Designious.
