How to Create a Distressed Letterpress Print Effect in Photoshop (+ FREE Textures!)

In today’s Photoshop tutorial I’m going to show you how to add grungy, distressed, ink stamped effects to your type, logos, or illustrations. The effect resembles the letterpress printing style, or any other impact print method, like a rubber stamp, or an old typewriter. I’ll show you how to distress your clean digital artwork to give it a fuzzy, irregular appearance as if the ink is bleeding to distort the outline of the artwork, causing some areas to blend together. I will provide you with my free Dirty Surface textures to simulate how parts of a stamped print don’t have enough ink coverage, giving it that lovely textured retro print look. Then we’ll use those same dirty surface textures to finish off the artwork with a complementary dirty background to completely transform the clean digital art into a cheap letterpress print with gritty details. ⭐️ Get Millions of Creative Asset Downloads from Envato Elements - 📦 Join my mailing list and get a FREE design resources bundle! 🙏 I don’t have a Patreon, but if you want to support my work, consider becoming an Access All Areas member on Spoon Graphics - ► Download my FREE Dirty Surface Textures - ► Get up to 50% off the Marttabuck Script font - ► Activate the Proxima Nova font - Check out these great related products: ► American Wood Type - ► TexturePress Ink Stamp Effects - ► Photoshop Ink Stamp effect - ► Letterpress Print Kit - Deals & Discounts: ⭐ Get 20% off ANYTHING in the Spoon Graphics Shop with the code: 20OFF - ⭐️ Get 10 FREE Images from Adobe Stock - ⭐ Get 20% off the Heritage Type Milkstore Font Collection - ⭐️ Download millions of creative assets from Envato - ⭐️ Get 36% off unlimited vector downloads from Vecteezy - Tools & Resources I Use: ⭐️ Get Photoshop and other Adobe CC programs here: 🛠️ Where I download the creative assets I need - ✍️ The graphics tablet I use: 🎙️ The microphone I use: 📢 The email newsletter service I use: 📈 The tool I use to help grow my channel: Watch more of my content: 📺 See all my Photoshop tutorials - 📺 See all my Illustrator tutorials - 📺 Watch my most popular videos - #Photoshop #PhotoshopTutorial #AdobePhotoshop Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator design tutorials from Chris Spooner of Spoon Graphics.
