A Visual Guide To: Super Cool Frilly Bits Typography

Hi there, this is my first post for Abduzeedo and I'm starting with a quick video tutorial of one of Fabio's cool designs. Fabio got in touch with me and suggested that we did some work together regarding video tutorials. To get things rolling I thought it would be nice to create a video on one of my favorite tutorials

- Gavin Steele

You can check out the the original tutorial on this site, Super Cool Frilly Bits Typography

Note: For improved video quality, head over to vimeo and watch the video there. You can also watch the tutorial with HD on or for even better quality you can click the download button in the bottom right of the vimeo page.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorials. They are not meant to replace the original tutorials but to aid you in any areas you might get stuck with.

And for those of you (me included) who want to see how Fabio goes about his work.... He has some video tutorials of his own on the way.

What happened to the original tutorial? I wanted to check out the frilly brushes and all that but since that page is gone I'm not sure where to find them. :\

@MrBigp..... I am not sure what the problem is there? Do you have Photoshop CS3 and IllCS3? All I did was to right click in Illustrator and then paste in Photoshop as a smart object.

sorry I can not be more help.

I am glad you all like the video. I am looking at doing some more soon.

Hi
I have a problem with copying the vector from illustrator.
I bought the same ornaments you use in that tutorial, opened them with illustrator cs3 but always when I wanted to drag and drop one of them into Photoshop my Illustrator crashed. Then I marked one of the ornaments and copied with ctrl+c but I cant paste it into photoshop. What's wrong?
I already reinstalled Illustrator, but it didnt help.
It'd be so great if you could help me.
Maybe you can send me your advice to my email addy?
thanks in advance and thanks for the great video tutorial!

I know there are people out there who really like the original format to the tutorials, I am definitely one of those people. These video tutorials are aimed at supporting people once they have tried the original. They do take some time to make as I do them in one take so once I make a mistake I start again... I could edit but not really my thing. So there will always be a delay before the video tutorial comes out.

Hope you like them.

Hi! It would be great if you make a video for the tutorial 'Creating smoke'. I always wanted to make that tutorial, but I never succeed :(
