First, I would like to write some lines to thank you. when I did the video asking for your help so I could continue the podcast I wasn’t expecting so much receptivity. Today, a week after starting the Patreon, Flattr and Paypal campaigns, I have already received 2 donations and over 10 messages! Podcast are possible thanks to your kindness, which allows me to dedicate my time into create new and awesome content, based on your request and ideas. Once again, thank you for believing in this project… and if you have no idea what am I talking about, just click here!

Subtitles Done! just activate them! ;)
 Today podcast is a tutorial about giving some sand texture to your typography. There are several ways to do it, but I believe that things need to be simplified, so today process will be done with two tools so you can make a comparison and get your own conclusions. Lets get into it!

Now if you want to quickly review this tutorial, I have added a couple of slideshows so you can see the steps to follow for each tool. Lets just remember that GIMP is a Bitmap editor, while Inkscape is a vector editor. Even if I love GIMP, when I have to work with designs that “might” get printed, I rather using vectors, since they will allow me to resize my artwork without loosing quality. However, good thing is that we will always have different options to do everything, so let me know which process did you like the most!

  2. Gracias tatica por este nuevo podcast.

    P.S. Estoy esperando el codigo de confirmacion para habilitar mi tarjeta de credito en paypal, para hacerte una merecida donacion.

  3. Ederick para este tipo de arte me gusta más Inkscape, sin embargo, sigo adorando GIMP para edición fotográfica.

    Luya that’s awesome!!! let’s hope the next podcast is as interesting as this one ;)

  4. Muy buenas las 2 opciones, sin embargo creo que para el fin de texturizar una fuente me parece que es mejor hacerlo con Inkscape. Al menos a mí me pareció más sencillo. Gracias por el podcast. Saludos
