I came across Pawel Norbert‘s paint streak typography a while back and completely fell in love with it. There’s so much color, so much energy, so much personality displayed in just a single letter. With the addition of the Mega Paint Streak asset pack I created a few weeks back, Pawel’s work came rushing back to mind, as it paired similar textures with my most favorite element of design: typography. In this week’s tutorial, I share how I would create a similar type of paint streak typography using Photoshop. Once created, we’ll add shadows + highlights to finish it off with some extra dimension. You’ll be able to use the artwork you create to either gift, sell as a customized art print, wallpaper your desktop, or keep it for yourself + display it on your own wall! Not too shabby for ~15 minutes! Let’s get started!

Happy June! Here in Atlanta, it definitely feels like summer has arrived, and by summer, I mean ridiculous amounts of sticky humidity. Outside of popsicles, which we’ve already created, I was brainstorming another symbol of summer that represents refreshment (instead of stickiness), and for whatever reason (I’m landlocked by a minimum of 4 hours and I’ve never surfed before), a surfboard came to mind. Not only do surfboards represent warmth, summer and refreshment, but they’re also a designer’s dream to work on (fun culture aspect + big canvas). So this week, we’re going to create some super easy, vector paint streaked surfboards in Illustrator using my newest design assets: paint streak textures, 2 of which I’m giving away for free!
