- clinky, on 10/29/2008, -4/+16Great list, thanks for featuring so many of my tutorials!
- Anim8tor, on 10/29/2008, -1/+9Great tips. Can't wait to try these.
- SoopaflySAM, on 10/29/2008, -0/+7I am tired of the whole "grunge" look! Everyone uses it! Graphic Designers get paid for downloading "splatters and drips" and applying them to their designs as 'hip and cool'
David Carson should burn for introducing this trend - Phoenixheart, on 10/29/2008, -1/+7Smashed me!!!
- nyde, on 10/29/2008, -2/+7Anything advocating something other than shiny buttons and reflected text has got my vote.
- Taktic, on 10/29/2008, -0/+4Another poor selection of tutorials we have all seen MILLIONS of times on digg. Pffff.
- h3110, on 10/29/2008, -1/+5Have a look at the lists at smashingmagzines. They'll always include some tutorials from the envato network (psdtuts, nettuts, vecttuts, etc). This strategy is used to gain visits to their websites which results in more ad revenue.
msaleem and mr.babyman post for psdtuts, flashden, etc who are all the same owner. Like zaibatsu (banned) did, if you have connections in the underground blackhat SEO world, you can have your website articles on the digg frontpage for a price. Recently, techradar has used their service. - fadingsignal, on 10/29/2008, -0/+3This is a repeat! No surprise for Digg, but Smashing Magazine is recycling their own articles.
- JonnyCasino, on 10/29/2008, -2/+4Just when I think I have hit the end of my work spectrum with Photoshop, I get more ideas from your articles. This one, in particular, gave me more marketing ideas in print design/layout. I would also urge those who are in the field to go through every one of these and put reading into practice and really mend those skills of yours, as well as learning new techniques.
- RNEMESiS42, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2I think this has popped up on digg at least three times in the past month.
- Karkian, on 10/29/2008, -1/+3Dugg it, but ***** really need to revise their definition of the word unique.
- Hyst3ria, on 10/29/2008, -0/+2Most, if not all these have been on Digg recently.
- Troyjinman, on 10/29/2008, -0/+1Is it just me? Or are there an obscene amount of "grunge tutorials' for photoshop out there? I swear i've seen atleast 100+ so far, and there have been quite a few "Photoshop Grunge" Posts here on Digg as well...
How about we change it up for once and get some new tutorials up? :) - bot001220, on 10/30/2008, -0/+1. . .
- lovek, on 10/29/2008, -1/+2You have no idea how long I've looked for good tutorials for this type of "grungy" look. And now there are lots of them in one place! I'd kind of given up, so I may not have found this on my own.
Great site. Great digg.
THIS is why digg.com exists. - doogmeist1, on 10/30/2008, -0/+1Sweet!
Grunge rules... I will try them later on my MacBook at Starbucks. - bot001220, on 10/30/2008, -0/+1It's already cliche if you ask me. Look at how many times these tutorials have been on the front page, as others have already noted.
It's hard coming up with your own ideas, so most graphic designers just jump on whatever bandwagon everyone else is jumping on. - kmb1794, on 10/29/2008, -0/+1seriously?
- Troyjinman, on 10/29/2008, -0/+1haha you obviously haven't been on digg long, grunge posts are quite norm here, unfortunately. :)
- FredFredrickson, on 10/29/2008, -0/+1You know, this stuff is already starting to look dated to me. It won't be long before we see another big style change, and then you'll be left sitting there wondering why you spent so much time grunging out your blog.
- fbg00, on 10/29/2008, -0/+1I kind-of don't get it. I looked at a couple of the "tutorials" and they don't really do much tutoring. They're kind of like this: "To Build a house, first build the frame, then the first floor, then the second floor, then add a roof". But no instructions on how to do any of those steps that are almost as complex as the whole project. At least it seems that way to me. So these could be called "howto's" maybe, but "tutorials"?!?? Really?
- zosoIV, on 10/29/2008, -1/+2The entire grungy, paint splatter look is going out of style soon, if not currently fading. Soon these design techniques will look amateur and corny.
- kraftj, on 10/29/2008, -1/+2I love Smashing Magazine.
- lovek, on 10/29/2008, -1/+1Okay you caught me. I didn't search very hard. Still a good link though.
On a side note, I joined on November 14th, 2006, but lurked for quite awhile before that. But generally only during work hours on certain days. So I may have missed the previous links.
That dude you hate who posts "Well *I* hadn't seen it before" on dupes? Hi, it's good to meet you. - ch40sBr1ng3r, on 10/29/2008, -1/+1This, sir, has been in digg for like, 10 times this month....wtf? i want news!
- namelessXsilent, on 10/29/2008, -1/+1these "top 50" tutorial sites always have the same tutorials listed.... give me some new ones
- wiggles, on 10/29/2008, -1/+1Grunge Photoshop tutorials? Is that like making album covers for Seattle based '90's garage bands?

But to be fair, it wasn't really Carson that introduced the style. - 1professional, on 10/29/2008, -1/+0ok I know this is going to sound like crap but is there anything Photoshop can do (for a huge fee) that irfan and resizer cannot do for free and ten times faster?
- GvCIA, on 10/30/2008, -1/+0Great tutorials!
- kmb1794, on 10/29/2008, -3/+1instant digg.
- xjeffx, on 10/29/2008, -4/+2Don't care.. I'll keep digging as long as I find their stuff useful.
- JonnyCasino, on 10/29/2008, -6/+1I concur!
- reevolutn, on 10/29/2008, -8/+2BOOOO SPAM!
