In today’s Photoshop tutorial I’m going to show you how to add grungy, distressed, ink stamped effects to your type, logos, or illustrations. The effect resembles the letterpress printing style, or any other impact print method, like a rubber stamp, or an old typewriter. I’ll show you how to distress your clean digital artwork to give it a fuzzy, irregular appearance as if the ink is bleeding to distort the outline of the artwork, causing some areas to blend together.

Shape design is not really a new concept. It is a method which uses a shape (or shapes) as the most endearing element in the design, against all other elements which are present. To point it out, it is not just uses standard shapes against a basic background. It is using lines, curves, and symmetry to create flow and harmony in a design.

Shelter’s new brand identity is created by Superunion and features a red arrow formed by brushstrokes.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
