Add a retro lo-fi print aesthetics to your work by imitating a photocopy look with our special technique for distressing all sorts of graphics & creating unique gritty textures in Adobe Photoshop.

This technique is based on a Photoshop Smart Filters combination which we have developed to be able to easily distress any type of graphics without any additional materials. This class is not about using the pre-existing Photocopy filter in Photoshop! Instead you’ll be learning how to use a few different non-destructive filters to create a range of looks and textures, which can be adjusted and customised to suit any purpose!

This technique is designed for graphic designers, hand-letterers, illustrators & photographers and it is super handy when designing posters, t-shirt prints, working on editorial projects and creating zines, or when you just want your work to look a little less digital!

Using this technique you will be able to easily and quickly distress:

— typographic & lettering compositions;

— logotypes;

— graphics;

— drawings;

— illustrations;

— photographs;

— and create a number of unique gritty textures.

Everything in this class is based upon non-destructive smart filters, so once you have built these effects, you will be able to easily distress anything you want and create tons of unique textures!

In this class you will learn:

— how to distress type, lettering, logos or any other solid colour graphics;

— how to distress multitonal graphics, illustrations or drawings against a white background;

— how to create 2 different effects to distress photographs and complex multicolour illustrations;
