Goofing around with Grafitti

Well, photoshoping Grafitti because my skill with a spray can is next to none.

My First (and there for crappiest) attempt:

My Serious Attempt:

Being decently pleased with the second attempt I went on to make the following things:

I also made signature sized versions:

If you'd like your Avatar and/or name grafitti'd on something, just ask me, and I'll try my best, lol.

Did one for Rita, but I tweaked a few different things...

If you'll notice on the text, I've not only bled the "paint" so that it looks like it's dripping at some points, but I made it match the 3D texture of the wall using a displacement map. I'm rather pleased with this because it makes the effect look much more authentic.

For her avatar I used my warp tool to not only bleed it to look like the paint ran, but I also rounded the two lower corners as well as restored the top of the head (which was cut off in the avatar itself, but was easy enough to warp back).

I made a nice Banner-Sized Grafitti ad for Infohub, and I ended up spending a LOT of time on the text. The sad thing is, you can't really see all of my alterations over the brick background, because it's just too light. So I'll show you the finished product, as well as the text by itself.

Same Text, same size, same effects (except for the eroded look which I added in hopes that it could be placed on any sort of webpage and look like it had been grafitti'd there), transparent backed PNG so it can be placed elsewhere.

That font was so heavily warped that I spent more than half of my design time, working JUST on making sure this looked more hand-done than computer generated. A goal which inevitably failed.
