I’m looking for shapes and styles for photoshop that are similar to the stuff on this website

http://drikoti.net/

I’ve got the shapes/styles from this site but they get boring after a while and I’m running out of ideas! Help!

I am a graphic designer and find that googling ps ’stuff’ and skipping a few pages gives me a lead on other graphic artists who stay on page 1.

(: goodluck

I have Photoshop 7.0.1. What I’m trying to do, very simply, is put text over a picture. The text’s font is Playbill and I’m trying to change the color to something bright as the picture is in black and white. I’ve tried the little box at the top and I’ve tried to change the foreground color. The text just stays gray. How can I change this? Also, the layer is not locked.

Most likely as it is a black and white picture the colour mode is grayscale so even if you try and select a colour it still displays as gray.

Go to Image>Mode and select a colour mode such as RGB or CMYK, now you will be able to add colour to your text.

Go through www.w3schools.com or also get info from photoshop.com

Are you bent?

12 Seamless, Metal Styles in 6 colors Bronze, Steel, Iron, Red Hot, Pewter and White Gold. For Photoshop. Add these realistic Metal Styles to everything from frames to flowers and see how bent you can get!
Pink Just Added for total of 13 styles! WHOO HOO!

With BIG, Seamless patterns these styles have low repeat on large applications. Each color has two styles: The first one, is a standard scale of 100 for papers, backgrounds, frames…larger uses. The second in each color is specifically formulated for fonts with smaller scales, gradient overlays, and a slight bevel contour already in place for slick, quick, easy to read Alpha creations. Not just for fonts, use these to add a stylized texture pattern to all your close in work or an all over subtle pattern to large pieces.

Mix it up! Use a standard size on a frame and smaller scale on a border to pull a kit together without it looking all the same.

CU Okay. Text Document with tips for best use included. PS7, PSCS, PSCS2, PSCS3, PSCS4 and PSE compatable.
