There must be something about digital type that we don’t like. We put a lot of energy into distressing, aging, texturizing, and simulating letterpress techniques with digital type. There are a lot of cool techniques out there. So here I am, sharing yet another one that’s really good for distressing specific parts of letters that are subject to more wear & tear. We’ll be using Photoshop and digging into layer masks & scatter brushes. But first, let me show you an example of what we’re trying to achieve.
