This tutorial covers a brand new feature in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.5 and it's a pretty awesome time saver!

The Match Font feature allows you to highlight a section of type inside Photoshop, and then Photoshop will automatically attempt to find a close match of it for you to use in your projects.

This feature is very similar to the well known (and often ineffective) WhatTheFont! feature on MyFonts. The cool thing about this is you can do it all inside your Photoshop workflow and actually preview that font in your project in real time. Anything that saves a little bit of time inside Photoshop is a huge thumbs up from me!

This tutorial goes over how to create awesome 3D effects inside Adobe Illustrator by using the appearance window. The appearance window is a sometimes under used element of Adobe Illustrator, but knowing how to use and manipulate it can open up a whole new world of opportunities to apply to your type work, designs, and illustrations.

One of the best parts of applying custom effects this way is that everything is super easy to toggle on and off, and all effects that are applied are completely non-destructive and easy to turn off or delete at any time.

Things covered in this tutorial including adding a stroke and fill, creating 3d extrudes, applying a bulge effect across the entire type element using the effects panel, and then saving out the style you created as a graphic style.

Swoosh Tutorial: https://youtu.be/qDmALmU5FxI

This tutorial covers how to use the pen tool inside Adobe Illustrator. This tutorial is specifically made to show you how to use the pen tool in the most efficient way possible in order to reduce the number of points you create, and increase the amount of control you have with fine tune adjustments of those points.

There are many different possible ways to use the pen tool inside Illustrator, but the method shown in this video is generally considered to be one of the most technically correct, and therefore the best to use when dealing with very exacting design work like logos and typography.

Some quick tips are to always hold shift when creating your points (except in specific circumstances pointed out in this video) to make sure that the arcs on your lines align themselves properly. Basically you always want to pull your curves in a pure vertical or horizontal manner. Also only put pen tool points on the beginning, middle, and end of a curve. Don't place points in a section that is continually curving because it will likely just end up complicating your paths. An example of this is the center point of the "S" shape as demonstrated in this tutorial.

Pen Tool: P
Selection Tool (Black Arrow): V

How to Use Selective Color in Adobe Photoshop Tutorial

Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ovenrude

This tutorial goes over how to use the selective color tool inside Adobe Photoshop. Selective color is an amazing way to adjust colors in Photoshop while still maintaining a huge amount of control over what colors are effected by the changes.

Where changing the color of something via a method like hue / saturation will change every color in the image you're editing (assuming you haven't masked things out), selective color can target a specific color on the color spectrum and then you are presented with slider bars for all of the CMYK color options to really fine tune your image the way you want it to look.

Overall an awesome tool that I think is underused by designers as it is such a specialized tool, but it's definitely one worth knowing because it can be extremely powerful when trying to carefully tweak image and design colors.

How to Make a Seamlessly Repeating Geometric Pattern in Adobe Illustrator Tutorial

Sponsored by: http://www.webdesignernews.com/

This tutorial goes over how to make a seamlessly repeating geometric pattern inside Adobe Illustrator. The tutorial goes over everything from the basics of setting up your art board and creating the first shape, to how to quickly and accurately repeat the shapes to eventually create the final seamless repeat.

This tutorial uses triangles to achieve the repeat effect, but the same principles could be applied to other shapes like hexagons if you wanted to. At the end of the tutorial I go over some thoughts on how to color and pattern the repeat, as well as how to create a clipping mask to make sure everything works perfectly as intended.

Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask in the comments.

TIP FOR PHOTOSHOP:  If you bring your completed pattern into Photoshop and notice some hairline fracture white lines and want to get rid of them easily, just duplicate the layer that you pasted in until they're gone. Ctrl + J on a PC or Command + J on a Mac will duplicate the selected layer. Once the white lines are fully gone just click the first layer, hold shift, then click the last layer. After you do that right click on all of the selected layers and select merge layers. You should be good to go!

Some common shortcuts used:
V - Selection Tool (black arrow)
A - Direct Selection Tool (white arrow)
M - Rectangle Shape Tool
Hold Shift - Keep objects on same plane for accurate movement
Hold Alt (Option on Mac) when dragging: Duplicate that object
Shift + X - swap fill and stroke
Ctrl + D ( Command on Mac) to duplicate last movement or copy movement
i - eyedropper tool
