    These are all awesome tutorials. I am sure i will be using them soon. Thank you for taking the time out to provide them. Would you be able to supply a tutorial, or point one out for me that would explain how to achieve the painted effect in the following posters? Thank you again….

    Really awsesome bunch of tutorials but no offense, I would not really classify this group of posters as professional. Sure they are all really awesome and their designers are really skillful but the style of these posters is not ‘professional.’ If you rocked up to a big corporate business client with a rock grungy poster I think in most cases (really depending on the brand though) you would be told to go away and make something more simple, sleak and basically boring.

    Hehe, well most of them are designed for more of a club/event promotional feel. And yes, I agree, not all of them will impress some Fortune 500 clientele, but as far as what’s available on the internet with regards to tutorials, these are the best there are.

    Cheers for the reply Kitty, it’s people like you that keep me in check and driven to post quality material and catch my lapses. :)
