well i can only help u on the shapes haha she just made it transparent because all graphics r like squares or rectangles.. i think... o and 'thing' on graphic 7 she had on the inside was probably a pattern fill. that only helped a little =[byw what program r u using?

[Luke]

Thanks for the help you two.

LilAzn - I am using Photoshop, and all the images shown in
my first post were created in Adobe CS aswell.

number six: I believe the font is "coventry garden". I have it on my computer, but I can't remember where I got it, so try googling it

oh, and number seven, I'm not sure about the big font, but the medium sized one is carpenter, I believe. it's in the BBOR

[Luke]

Thank you.
Coventry Garden is the right one.

for graphic two, which shape do you mean?

also, the fading text... you could just use a gradient overlay (under add stroke? maybe? I'm a ps n00b...) and have it pink (or whatever color) in the middle and fade into your background color on each side.

The tilt to the blog box? I think you could just rotate it a bit using... free transform? Sorry, I'm a noob in PS, but that's how you'd do it in PSP, or you'd just rotate the vector. Has this been coded into a layout somewhere? because I want to know how they'd put the actual words in without it looking like crap

[*XLilAznGrl592X*]

u rotate the text or anything by going to the edit --> trandform --> rotate and u flip the image (thats ofr photoshop,) basically the ssame thing, lol

Graphic Two -> Make it on a new layer, free rotate it, add a mask or something... Or just erase what parts you don't want.
Graphic Three -> Looks like layer style, "color" to me, make a gradient on a new layer, set layer mode or whatever to color, blur and stuff as needed. Font looks a little like... Crack Babies
Graphic Six -> Hm, swirls.... Try.... Well, they look like some PSP brushes I saw... Click.
Graphic Seven -> Make a pattern out of a gradient that looks similar to that, add it in... Kinda like this.
Graphic Eight -> See above and graphic six.

thanks.
help still needed for 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 AND 8.

1: The main text is 'Cezanne' which I think should be in the Common Fonts thread, and the designer probably used a blue outer glow with a softened bevel.
2: You would make the rectangle on a new layer, and go Edit>>Free Transform, and then rotate the rectangle by clicking and dragging, then press enter. You can fade it by erasing it, or using a gradient on a layer mask. For the small pixely text, just use a gradient that goes from white to transparent. What shape are you talking about?
3: I've never seen that brush before..the designer could have made it him/herself. No clue what that main font is. For the colors, it was probably a gradient from blue to purple, and then the images got overlayed or something.
4: The starry sparkle brushes or the square brushes or both?
6: Do you mean the shape of the entire image? You just combine a bunch of shapes and brushes and put them all on one layer and make sure it's the same color.
7: That's an image inside a font. There's a tutorial on that here at CB in the tutorials section, and the designer just used an abstract type image.
8: The font you would do the same way as number 7, and the shape you would do the same way as number 6.

Those are all really similar graphics..haha. But they're pretty good. Who made them?

[Luke]

One of my best friends made them, but unfortunately she left her internet life for good, so I couldn't ask her!

[*mona lisa*]

Uh...ok...did all that information help you in any way? Do you still have problems/questions?

[Luke]

Actually, yes I still have some problems / questions.
If you wish, you can close this topic. I will create another one discluding the problem areas I have solved.

[*mona lisa*]

Um.ok then.

Topic Closed.
