Hello! I started Psdtuts+ because years ago reading Photoshop tutorials was how I got into design. You can find me on Twitter or on my blog theNetsetter.

TUTS is looking for a designer!

Normally I post all my jobs on our FreelanceSwitch job board but since today I’m looking for a designer I thought I would open this up to the entire Psdtuts+ audience. In short, we’re looking for a freelance designer to work on our growing list of Eden projects with me! If you think that might be you, then read on.

From PSD to HTML – Site Build over at NETTUTS

As many of you will remember some weeks ago we posted a PLUS members tutorial here called Designing a Family of Websites and promised an upcoming PSD->HTML tutorial on it. Well I’m happy to say, that after a 10 hour marathon, the tutorial is ready!

    My Favourite Photoshop Tutorial Sites (Besides Psdtuts+!)

    As you know, we here at Psdtuts+ are absolutely and totally committed to being the best place for Photoshop junkies to click to. With that goal in mind, I try to keep an eye on all the other photoshop tutorial destinations around. Lately I’ve been coming across some really awesome sites – both old and new. This is great because it keeps us here at Psdtuts+ on our toes!

    So today I thought I’d run a quick wrap up of all my favourite Photoshop tutorial sites, show you a few new places to bookmark, and hopefully send them all some extra traffic!

    Dramatic Text on Fire Effect in Photoshop

    Flames are particularly hard to render in Photoshop, but in this tutorial I’ll show you how to use a photograph of fire to set text to the match. We’ll render the look on a nice dark background with a gorgeous text effect to complete the image.

    This is the second of our five-part series on Photoshop Typography. If you missed last week’s, go visit Create a Spectacular Grass Text Effect.

    6 Quick’n'Dirty Photoshop Text Effects From Scratch

    Photoshop is great for embellishing display text with little effects. When you add layer styles into the equation, you have the added benefit of the styles being easily transferable. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to make six different effects using just layer styles. So really this is like six tutorials in one!

    AudioJungle Launch + Upcoming Sites + Psdtuts+ announcements!

    As you know, one of the other sites we work on here is FlashDen, and recently we’ve been very hard at work expanding FlashDen to have a dedicated Audio sister-site. So it’s with great pleasure that I can finally say that AudioJungle is now online!

    Tutorial Removed

    Today we’ve had to unfortunately remove a tutorial due to copyright issues. As all creatives should, we take copyright very seriously here at Psdtuts+. The tutorial in question has been removed, the author has not been paid, and I’ll personally be investigating further to get in touch with the original author to apologize and ensure everything is sorted out.

    FlashDen Redesigned!

    Hey folks! A quick update from me to interrupt Sean’s schedule. I wanted to show off a new design that’s just gone live for our sister site FlashDen! It’s a big rejig of the site which took the team almost two weeks to complete, but is now happily out on the wilds of the Web.

    Create a Sleek, High-End Web Design from Scratch

    In this tutorial, we’ll put together a high-end Web design using a crisp, thin font, gorgeous background images, and clever use of space and layout. You can easily use the technique to create your own unique designs.

    Then when you’re finished reading this tutorial, you can cross over to our sister site NETTUTS and follow along as we build the design into clean and simple HTML. OK let’s rock’n'roll!

    2 Big Announcements!

    This week brings two big announcements for the site. First, I’m happy to welcome Sean Hodge officially as the site’s new editor. And secondly, I’m also pleased to tell you that Psdtuts+ now has a sister-site at NETTUTS.com.
