Too Headed Boy

I wanted to get some Photoshop practice in today, so I followed a tutorial on the Spoon Graphics website to create a custom 3D heavily utilizing the “Transform Again” technique.

Once again, I took the liberty of customizing the font, the content, and the color palette to something relevant to me.

Things I learned from this tutorial:

Using the “Transform Again” technique in Photoshop
Simulating shadows by nudging and repeating layer additions using shortcuts in Photoshop
Manipulating gradients, strokes, and other effects in Photoshop
Adding a grain texture to reduce the banding effect of the gradient background in Photoshop

I started out with a 3000 pixel wide by 2000 pixel wide canvas, and I used a free font from Google fonts, called Oleo Script.

Here was the final result:

“Take Care of Your Mental Health”.

In an effort to get back into graphic design work, and start to upskill in a field that I love, I recently took a tutorial on the Spoon Graphics website.

I took the liberty of customizing the graphic to something relevant to me, so I strayed a bit from the exact details of the tutorial. I learned a bit though and I am happy with how the graphic turned out. I decided to have some stickers created from the graphic to share with my family.

Things I learned from this tutorial:

Manipulating stroke details (like caps) in Illustrator
Duplicating and reflecting objects in Illustrator
Using the scissor tool to trim lines in Illustrator
Transforming lines into waves in Illustrator
Using the Object > Blend effect in Illustrator
Using the Type on Path tool in Illustrator

Here was the final result:

“The Breeze” is a cabin at Nickerson Lake in Maine.
