to me… the final image is ..huh…. ugly and messy!!, instead of “improvement”, to me, it sells “disaster” LOL…. but it seems to have a big bunch of detailed cool techniques inside!!… i’ll recommend it to all plus members! i’m not “plus” so i’ll try to make a similar disaster by my own!
( )Ryan October 14th
Thanks for the comments guys.
( )And to me Home improvement inst the final masterpiece. Its about fixing and working on something to get to that final masterpiece.

I dont have a plus account so I cant really speak unbiased here, but I have to agree with Manuel, to me it seems messy and cluttered. Im sure there are some cool techniques though. Just not my cup of tea
( )Duo October 14th
It looks quality but Ryan’s other works are way better than this
( )Brian October 14th
I’ll be canceling my plus subscription here shortly. This type of garbage does not belong there….
( )Alvaro October 14th
I like it… looks like a challenge!!!
( )Jad Graphics October 14th
WOW! This looks pretty creative!
( )Ariful Alam Khan October 14th
Seems nice. But I don’t have the membership
( )larusso October 14th
I really appreciate the hard work that has surely gone into this, but I thought graphic design was about communication? Im sorry but in the final piece there is no message, just confusion! Techical skills mean nothing without well executed concepts. I ‘ve got a lot of time and love for psdtuts, but you guys have a responsibility to so a show a decent final product.
( )That Namelezz Guy October 14th
It looks a good tutorial but by itself doesn’t deserve my money. If this site wants to get MY money towards PLUS membership, there’d have to be more typography-centered tutorials and logo design tutorials.
( )Geoff October 14th
it looks embarrassing. larusso is right. it seems the only thought put into this was to demonstrate different PS techniques, but the result looks so amateur. look at where the blueprints go out of focus… the mailbox is on the same plain and should be out of focus as well. it’s not a PLUS, it’s a MINUS!
( )yamaniac October 14th
Its a good tutorial! But it does look amateur and kiddish at least for PSDTUTS, where the tutorials and the final outcome are supposed to be great!
( )Jimi October 15th
I’d have to agree with the majority of these people, but I will still be paying my $9 a month. I get my moneys worth…
( )Moksha October 15th
look really good,
( )Joefrey Mahusay October 15th
Really nice tut.
( )Skunkie October 15th
Horrible!
( )geir October 15th
your other stuff is SOOOOO much better Ryan, show us how you do that!!
