Awwww…. what a wonderful list, especially the typographic posters! They’re killing me, ow yes :D and I get myself hooked up with “Birthday Flyer”. It is such a beautiful design…
Great list! Typography is something I really want to master, so thanks for the PS tutorials :)
I fall in love with typography that little bit more when i see a collection like this.
Great work
Wow!! Impressive and informative.
This article shows the beauty of typography. Oh yes, photoshop effects & tutorials are also cool too.
Text can be really beautiful with the right effects.
I think #10 is meant to say “Good Morning Stranger”.
wow…mind blowing…
good articles….
Nice compilation
many thanks for addme in this list.. i am feeling better.
really nice good article.
thanks again!
see you all!!
There are some cool effects on the text, however I wouldn’t call these typographic posters. This is more letter art than typography. Not to rain on anyone’s parade, but effects generally aren’t welcome in the field of typography. It’s more of a dedication to the beauty and discipline of letter forms as they are. I would put these more under graphic art than type related.
I would say #14 is the closest to typographic. Although there are reflections and such, you get a nice close up of the main bodies of the letters where you can see the serif details and other nice curves.
Either way, some cool stuff.
You are so right about having patience regarding that grass effect. That tut took me 5 days. But the result and the tips I picked up were more than worth it.
They are all sooooo coooool. Amazing collection.
Love the grass text. Used on a project a while back and people flipped.
Great Post!
