Homemade Tutorials

Gabriel here, with a new tutorial for you. Most of you have probably seen shining or sparkling text (maybe even both) on Flash websites and if you’re like me, probably wondered “hmm, how did they do that?”. If, however, you are a Flash or Photoshop guru, then you might want to skip this one, as it’s mostly beginner stuff for both. This tutorial will teach you how to create a shine and sparkle text effect, taking you from creating the text in Photoshop, to animating the effects in Flash.

Hey there, people! I have returned with yet another Dark Knight tutorial. In this one, we’re going to attempt to recreate a Dark Knight poster (unofficial, mind you) that you can see here in all its glory. It’s a rather complex poster in my opinion, but I think we can pull off something similar looking. Now, I know The Dark Knight is long gone from the cinemas; this was an old tutorial I wrote, but haven’t published until today due to lack of time.

Hi people! I’m back with a new and (I hope) simple tutorial. It’s maybe a little late for it, but nevertheless I will be showing you how to replicate the Batman “logo” on the posters for The Dark Knight. There are probably other tutorials out there covering this, I honestly haven’t searched. I just went ahead and created it and thought I’d post it here as a tutorial for everyone to read. Hope you like it. Now, let’s get to work.

Hi everyone. Sorry for the hiatus in writing tutorials, I’ve just been real busy these past weeks and didn’t have time to sit down and write. Today I had a couple of free hours so I decided to write another tutorial. We’re going to learn how to create a skin for your web video player. This is just the design part which we will do in Photoshop. Perhaps it will be followed up by a Flash tutorial on how to implement this skin into an actual working player.

Hey good people, Gabriel here with another Photoshop tutorial. Explosions are always nice to watch, but it’s even better to blow up stuff yourself. This is why I am going to teach you how to make your own exploding text that you can show off to your friends.
