    That gives your shape almost a cork, or Swiss cheese look. Cool!

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    A bit late getting back to all the comments. Memory problems (PC not me!) and decorating the study preventing me getting access to the PC, plus a Super Saturday of rugby. Anyway, I'm pleased to see that you all enjoyed the tutorial. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Gare for giving the tutorial the extra zip that my original was lacking with his skillful editing.
    I have attached a variation on the theme, where I used a bitmap fill of some grunge and vectorized that. The font I chose is Letterhead Fonts (LHF) Becker Rounded. Not free, I'm sorry to say, but I'm a big fan of their fonts (see here). What I like about this grunge method is that it is possible to make changes to different instances of the same letter to give the lettering more variety.
    Bob.

    Here's my method for creating grunge. It's pretty simple and involves a Fractal Plasma fill and a bit of fiddling with the Profile slider.

    Create a bitmap copy and do a bitmap trace to create the vector part.

    You're welcome, Bob, and I think we're all very happy that you provided us with a terrific method for dirtying up a typeface, logo, or just about anything that's too "clean".

    And Letterhead Fonts is a terrific resource for truly fresh, ornamental, and just epicurean typefaces, that will set you back a second mortgage on your home.

    I'd like to see some of the Fontsters on the new thread Fonts & Typography whip up something that can compare to LHF's offerings, at a significant tg member discount!

    My Best,

    Gary

    And if somone does come up with sharable fonts, consider joining (or putting them up on) The League of Movable Type:
    http://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/

    Speaking of font-face, each one does include the font-face version.

    Take care, Mike

    By all means, the more the sharing, the better the type world!

    But if someone is inspired by the content on TalkGraphics to do a knock-out piece of OpenTyperry or TrueTypography, I'd like first dibs to be posted >>>Here on TG's new Typography Area<<<

    Fair enough, Mike?

    My Best,

    Oh absolutely. I didn't mean to imply anything else.

    T&G will receive my first (re)creation from my American Specimen Book Of Type Styles...

    Now THAT sounds exciting, Mike!

    Yay! Go for it, man! Did you get my PM about font editors?
