There are many emerging design trends and concepts in the graphic design world. And these trends help us graphic designers to create more competitive and better designs. My favorite concepts are the Letter Press and Huge Typography designs. These two concepts were widely used by different graphic designers for creating logos, posters, and even in magazines.

The Letter Press design concept, one of the most widely used design concepts all over the web. It has been very popular because of its professional look, especially when used in business cards, posters and book covers. I also use this concept in my new designs especially in business cards.

It’s been a long time since I posted a Photoshop Tutorial here on my blog. I think this tutorial is the first one for year 2010. Actually, this tutorial was already planned to be posted earlier, but I wasn’t able to work on it because of my migration from old to a new hosting account. But of course, the delay was worth it because I got a better blogging experience right now.

Anyway, the purpose of this tutorial is to help you build or create a better or more realistic feel on your photo. This tutorial is perfect for Still Life photography, and not for Portraits. And you should be glad because this tutorial is very easy.

What you need:

• Adobe Photoshop CS+
• A nice photo
• Creative mind (optional)

The first thing you must do is to open up Adobe Photoshop and open the image file you want to edit.

Next is to create a Black and White layer on the image.

Create Black and White Layer - Create a More Realistic Look on Your Photo

You can create a Black and White layer by just selecting the “Create a new fill or adjustment layer” button below the Layers Pallet. Please make sure that the created Black and White layer is at the top of the Background layer.
