You may wonder I would want to do such a thing….trying to create Photoshop tutorials in Illustrator and I am really not sure why.  I love Illustrator and I keep trying to do stuff with it—like create an airbrush  look (like on the ‘56 Ford on the bottom of the page)—and just generally playing with it.

On the web are a million cool tutorials for Photoshop text, not so many for Illustrator. In the spirit of keeping everything Vector I like to try the tutorials to see if I can create the same look.  I can’t exactly.  They are always a tad off, but that doesn’t mean they don’t look great!

BTW, here is the link to the tutorials I found online:

6 Quick and Dirty Photoshop Text Effect Tutorials

You see for yourself how well I succeeded.  The only “failure ” to me is the Plastic look.  It isn’t terrible, but it isn’t exact.  By the way, the first one—Quick Gold—took some time, which is why there is only the letter Q! I just couldn’t see myself completing the words…unless I was getting paid, of course!
