Road Sign Photoshop Tutorial

Drawing a Road Sign Scene with Basic Shapes in Photoshop

By , About.com Guide

A forum member recently asked how to draw a road sign with Photoshop CS2 . I thought this would be a good exercise in learning to work with shapes, fills, layers, and layer effects. For this tutorial we will create a roadside landscape in addition to the road sign. Although I have used Photoshop CS2 for this tutorial, you should be able to follow along with older and newer versions of Photoshop, but you'll need at least version 6.
