Awesome! Never seen Volt!
great collection
thank you.
This is a lovely selection. I often see light effects used in a rather less attractive way, so it’s good to see these. They’re really nice. Good for moments of needing inspiration also! Loving the use of light in the divine angel image. Thank you!
Great collection, it’s awesome to see a few designs I haven’t seen around before.
Thanks also for including my retro futurism tutorial, I really appreciate it
This is co cute and helpful as well.Ditto for sharing all the tutorials!
This is another great list! Thanks for the efforts.
thanks for sharing, great list
Thanks for the resources. It’s reminded me how much I love figures (and faces) made out of typography!
Great list, I haven’t seen a few of these before. I always wish I could get away with using a bit more ‘dark background with lighting effects’ with clients, but it’s difficult to push away from a more standard ‘dark on light background’. Oh well, I’ll keep trying…
Nice..will implement it right away
Thanks for this awesome collection.
Hey bro, really nice collection of Tuts you have here. A Tutorial that you could also add to the section in the future is a newly written tutorial by me.
