Create Your Own Realistic View Stamp

In this lesson I will show you how to create your own realistic stamp, which you may use further in yourdesign.

First of all, we need to create a new document with the size of canvas 500300 pixels, white background.Then we need to find some texture for the paper. We can do this by searching via Google Images or by takenmy texture. Open it and locate at the canvas as you may see on the picture bellow:

Go to the next step, I mean start creating stamp ingenuously. Remember, firstly we need to make stamp inscale 20% larger than original size, further we shall decrease it to get more realistic lay out. Firstly, create aframe and stamp within it. Use the Ellipse Tool and create round shape with any colour. It does not meterwhich colour you will use.
http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/realistic_stamp_paper.jpghttp://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/realistic_stamp_paper.jpg


46/67

Set up fill opacity to 0% and apply the Stroke layer style to this layer:

Get this one result:

47/67

After this we duplicate the layer and make it a little smaller, on this time press and hold Alt+Shift to get the

proportional decreasing.

In next stage you need to type text across the circle line. Use the Horizontal Type Tool to type some text,move cursor perpendicularly to circles line and when it will take a look like on picture below start to type thetext.

Type the text Company Name Goes Here. The font we are using is Arial standard free font fromthe Windows font library.


48/67

After this step make the circle smaller again by pressing and holding Alt+Shift:

Now, I suppose we need to fill the free space between 2 circles. Use the Custom Shape Tool and choose theform that you may see bellow from the standard Photoshop palette:

Drawing the star on our canvas:


49/67

Copy this star two more times with Ctrl+J and move it a little bit left to get the result as bellow:

Finally, we need to add text within the little circle. Use the Horizontal Type Tool and type some text withinit. I used the Arial Narrow font.

After that rotate this text using Ctrl+T for transformation:


50/67

We have finished design for our stamp. Now, we need to make it stylish to give it realistic view. Merge all

layers except background in one and apply the Gradient Overlay layer style to received layer.
http://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/realistic_stamp_14.jpghttp://www.photoshopstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/realistic_stamp_14.jpg


51/67

Then create a new layer over and merge it with the previous one to get all effects in one layer. Then use the

Eraser Tool (Mode: Pencil, Brush size: 1 px) and erase chaotically as you can see at the picture bellow:

After this set up the mode layer toDissolve, then create a new layer over and merge it with the previous one.

At this point were decreasing the stamp view on 20% and set up the layer mode toMultiply.


52/67

Our stamp is almost done! The last one thing we need to do a little spread the stamp in some places. Use the

Smudge Tool (Mode: Normal, Strength: 50%) to make smearing as you can see at the picture bellow:

Now, our lesson is over! Hope that you had not troubles with it performing!

Eye Candy: Neat Scotch Tape

Hey guys, eye candy tutorial!

In this short Photoshop tutorial well be creating our own cool scotch tape, so you can stick things to stuffand the like These kinds of graphics are also particularly useful for grunge-themed website designs.

1. Document

Start by making a new document in Photoshop, something like 800 x 600 pixels or a size that fits your screenresolution well.

Next, we want to create a basic background. Start by making a relatively dark gradient in the Backgroundlayer, then you might want to copy something onto the canvas that you can use the tape on.

2. Basic Shape

Now to make the shape of our tape. Start by making a rectangular selection with the Rectangular MarqueeTool. Now make a new layer (layer > new > layer) then fill your selection with a light yellow-ish color.


54/67

The above shape is filled with #f4dc8c.

Next, find and get out the Polygonal Lasso Tool then make a triangular shape on the right side of your tapeshape, like mine shown here:

OK, after making your selection similar to mine, press delete on your keyboard to remove the selected area.

Hold shift and press the up key once, press delete again and repeat until youve gone all the way up yourtape.


55/67

Looking good. Now duplicate this layer, flip it horizontally (edit > transform > flip horizontal) then move itto the left until the edges are properly visible.

You may also want to flip your duplicate layer vertically, so it looks a bit different from the other side. Ratherthan doing this you could just use the selection process again, but that will give too much of a different result;its best make it seem as uniform as possible.

Merge your layers together.

3. Shape Detail (Texture)

Now we want to add a slight texture effect to our tape.

Lock the tape layers transparent pixels by clicking the icon in the layers palette, then add a little grungebrushing inside of the tape pixels.

You can accomplish all of this by following these few simple steps:

1. Start by locking the layers transparent pixels.2. Get out the brush tool and set either black or white as your foreground.3. Using a simple grunge brush, brush inside of the layers pixels with one brush at a time.4. After clicking once, go to edit > fade brush and fade the brushing to 10-15%.5. Repeat this once or twice more with a few different colors, continue fading the brushing so its hardly

noticeable.


56/67

This was just to give the tape a little bit of texture, Im not sure if its exactly realistic, but at least it lookscool!

If youre at a loss for grunge brushes, be sure to check out these few hot spots:

Brusheezy DeviantART Misprinted Type

The brushing wasnt necessary, so if you werent able to accomplish this step completely dont worry about it!

4. Finalizing

Got something to use the tape on?

Stick it on the canvas and position it accordingly. After this, rotate the tape and size it down if necessary, likeIve done here:

You might want to make two or more variations of the tape when originally designing it, so you can use eachone a couple of times so it doesnt look so repetitive, got it?

I finished off with my tape by lowering the fill very slightly (around 90-95%) and also by adding a slight dropshadow.
