Creating an inlaid metallic effect in Photoshop 7 and CS

We've covered a number of graphic effects in Adobe Photoshop, but most of them are destructive to your original artwork. This week we go back to some Photoshop basics to explore Layer Styles for the creation of a metallic, molten inlaid effects. Why? Well, Layer Effects are non-destructive, so you can apply them to text, for example, without having to rasterize. And you can save your styles to create your own variations that you can easily recall later.

Pattern Brushes in Adobe Illustrator
Creating stroke-based weave brushes with corner caps

I've shown you over numerous tutorials how to create brushes and strokes for a variety of applications. But one that always seems to get people stymied is the creation of pattern brushes in Adobe Illustrator with corner caps that match up with the rest of the stroke.

Old Jewel Painter's Picker
Color picker and color scheme extension for Mac OS X

From the middle of the twentieth century onward, the RYB wheel has provided artists and designers with a fundamental model for working with color. I'm referring not just to a model for mixing pigments, but also for developing color schemes based largely on the theories of one-time Bauhaus professor Johannes Itten. (Whether you recognize the name or not, he's responsible for many notions you might have about what constitutes appropriate color schemes for your designs.) But virtually every piece of software available to designers today uses native RGB color processing. So what's a designer to do? Well, while you can't mix colors in RYB on screen in most programs, you can still design using the now-classic RYB color model with a variety of tools, including a relative newcomer called Painter's Picker from Old Jewel Software.
