[Tutorial] Grafitti with Photoshop CS2

[Condor]

Okay, so since i had some problems with ppl saying i "copyed" this tutorial, witch i didnt do on purpase, i changed the pictures so it certenly isnt "copy'ed" anymore.
(btwn, my whole text and way of doing this is different than the original tut does/sais)

So u ever wanted to spray grafitti somewhere in a legal way ? whel u can with photoshop :-)

First find a picture of the object u wanna do with grafitti, i took this car.


Now open that pic with photoshop and make a text layer with the text u want on the wall as grafitti (or a picture)


Now in ur layer window pres ur right mouse buttong on ur text/image layer and choose Rasterize Type.
(make sure u pic colors and stuff first before u do the rasterize)


Now u will have to do the following:
Edit --> Transform --> Perspective


Now play a bit until ur text fits the wall/object (in perspective), if the text is to wide u can press CTRL+T to resize it.


Ur almost done now, all u need to do more is change the layer's blending mode to overlay.


Now u get this:


U may not be statisfied with the resault u get <.<


So what u gonna do then is play a bit with the layer styles, the best is to pic from:
_Overlay
_Soft light
_Hard light
_Vivid light
_Linear light
_Pin light
_Hard Mix

Until u get something u like, i needed to pic Hard Mix instead of Overlay cus now it looks more like grafitti colors.

That's pretty neat, Condor, I knew most of it though. Good job.

thanks, i'm not sutch a photoshop god but i know some tricks with it ^^

thanks i think its a nice simple tut, the outcome on the text i think could have a bit of work (tbh not sure where, but just doesnt look right somewhere; think its just the text choice because its so bold and large)
and i really like the outcome with the render works nicely.
so yeah overall quite a basic but effective effect that i think could help alot of people and teach them the basics of layering/light/perspective.

Copied this Tut

._.

your links kind of wrong btw (too many http://)

cant beleive it tbh, first looking at tutorial i wondered wether it had been copied and was going to post but his name on the text on the wall made me believe he did come up with it

schocking really someone with so much rep needs to cheat rep out of people, can understand a leecher or something doing it for some quick easy rep but not someone with contributor status wheres -rep when you need it (would take my+Rep back if i could as dont believe in plagiarism) atleast if you used another tutorial and recreated it post that you recreated it and you might get rep for effort

Mehh, i actly had some respect for you and tought what you said in threads matter but this was a total let down :/ Ahh well i dont wanna outjudge you for greediness

[Condor]

hmz, didnt copy it, just know how to do this and didnt find a tut here (for grafitti, i know how to use search button) so i just posted my way to do this...

*could be i maybe learned it once from the link u posted... cus i learned it on some site, and i copy'ed the wall from that site to my pics folder, so maybe u found the site where i learned to do this.

But i just did not copy it to gain rep or something, i did it to learn a thing or 2 to some ppl.

[Waspp]

Yeah tough about it a little and i guse you just wanted to do good soz : /
But the thing was that you didnt give the one who did the tutorial credit.
Or well, that was what i didnt like about it :P

[Condor]

@Waspp ofc ofc but how could/can i do that xD i dont remember where i got this from and the link posted by Narudan doesnt work for me :s

1.its one to manny http//:
2. if you didnt know where u got it from how could u then use the exact same wall as the exampel did?

i wont judge you but i wont rep you ether, sorry. and as u said, this thread wasnt about makeing rep so ^^

he said he saved it beforehand

yeah sorry condor if you really did make it but when put with the link to the others and yours i hope you can see how bad it looks as though its copied. perhaps to avoid this in future write : i did not make this. no need to put a link if you dont know it, but it just helps clear things up and prevents things like this happening. because when you dont admit something straight away it makes it look like you were purposely hiding it (not saying you were but thats how it sometimes appears)

so yeah sorry if you did make it

[Condor]

Guess what xD i really got it from Here and i used the same wall cus i indead saved it to my pc.. but i'l put the link with my post cus i'm not a leecher.
