Illustrator Tutorial: How To Create A Vectorized Gold Text Effect

 

On November 16th, 2023, I found this excellent Illustrator tutorial on creating a vectorized gold text effect. The Illustrator tutorial was created by a small YouTube channel called RWGUSEV. This tutorial was simple but tedious to follow and listen to. I recommend VCDMA students try out this tutorial to try out different text effects. My results are at the top of the post, and the video tutorial is at the bottom.

How to Create Distress Spray Grungy Text Effect in Photoshop

 

Hello, everyone, I found another tutorial from Youtuber Panther on creating another text effect. This text effect is about making the text look more distressed and grungy. Honestly, this tutorial was challenging to follow because I'm still unfamiliar with Blur filters and settings, so this is my first time using this feature. Youtuber Panther uses a different font and texture background for this tutorial. He didn't provide the link to the textured background that he used in the tutorial. You guys can try this tutorial on your own, and the result of my text effect artwork is at the top of this post. The link to the tutorial is below this post.

Event: 2-in-1 Sessions at the Adobe Max Conference Review

 

From October 11 to 12, I attended two Adobe Max Creative Conference 2023 virtual sessions. Adobe Max aims to bring Adobe experts and inspiring creative artists together to showcase and improve our skills. Due to my busy schedule, I only attended two virtual sessions based on specific Adobe programs, such as After Effects and Photoshop.

After Effects 101: After Effects for New Users - VS601

The first virtual session I attended was 'After Effects 101: After Effects for New Users - VS601', hosted by After Effects expert Luisa Winters. The 30-minute virtual session was prerecorded, but the virtual session included a live chat that allowed Adobe users to ask questions from the host. This virtual session was a beginner guide for Adobe users who want to learn how to use After Effects. I only used the After Effects program once I joined this session. This session doesn't focus on the typography aspect per se but on creating a tameable composition using effects. After using After Effects during this session, I felt more comfortable using and understanding its function. The host was welcoming in live chat and answered every question in the chat box as quickly as possible. 

A Different Vision: Where Fantasy and Reality Meet - VS821

The second virtual session I attended was 'A Different Vision: Where Fantasy and Reality Meet - VS821', and this session was about two inspiring artists telling their stories about their artistic journey and creating their creative fantasies into reality using Adobe programs. The artists that premiered in this session were BossLogic and Mikaela Stafford. BossLogic 's presentation stood out for me the most because he had the same dreams and goals that I want to achieve after I graduate from BSU. His story was inspiring and intriguing. I highly recommend VCDMA students to listen to his presentation. Thank you for reading this blog post! :)

Photoshop Tutorial: How to Create An 3D Space Text Effect on Photoshop

Today, I found more Photoshop tutorials on YouTube, and then I came to this video on YouTube on how to create this certain type of 3D text effect. The tutorial video was created by the YouTube channel Waqzite. Waqzite is a new YouTube channel that uploads Photoshop beginner to advanced tutorials. I highly recommend that VCDMA students subscribe to this channel for easy and informative Photoshop tutorials. Thank you for reading this post! :)
