Sean we want those type of details for other non plus tutorials also (both for psdtuts and vectortuts) thanks :) …
Wow Lawrence, you have a comment for everything that comes up on these sites eh? And always one of the top comments as well. Do you not do anything else but watch these sites all day?
yes of course I love Envato’s tuts sites and a eager to learn…. ;)
Thanks for watching me too leighton :roll:
Yah, the Tutorial Details is something Jonathan recommended. I’ll look into doing this on other tutorials. It’s one of those things on my to do list. Thx.
I was hoping you’d show the text that I started with so people can get an idea of how much editing there was. But this is cool too.
Hope you guys like!
Don’t keep those ToDo list your side sean… :)
we want something diff from other sites, and yeah we should…
Meanwhile Good Idea Jonathan… ;)
Thanks. Yeah, I really thought those details help give a standard and quick overview of the tut.
Jonathan, good points. I went ahead and added a couple more images to this post to show where the text starts from – how it starts as plain text. I love how you customize the text and turn it into illustrated lettering. Thx.
Yeah jonathan thats an awesome idea… ;)
