36 Days of Type Challenge & Free Adobe Photoshop Brushes!

If you're not familiar with it, the 36 days of type challenge invites "every designer, illustrator or artist is invited to share their own creative take on the letterforms and share it with the world, as a global and simultaneous act of creativity exploring the boundaries of typography." This year, they've partnered with Adobe to bring some cool prizes as well, and it's fun to join in if/when you have time and use the prompts to push your creativity! I thought I would do something a bit fun this year and do a Photoshop brush giveaway along with the type challenge prompts! I never miss an opportunity to share my enthusiasm for Photoshop brushes and all you can do with them! I've recently been able to collaborate twice with Adobe to share some of my brushes and special techniques with their customers! Scroll down to the bottom if you want to get some more brushes and learn some cool Photoshop brush techniques! I'm going to do my best to keep up with the 1 brush a day pace, but if you leave me comments on my videos or social media, it will help keep me motivated to bring you more and even cooler brushes! xx Jess

In this tutorial, I show you one of my favorite iridescent brushes in action, modified a bit from a brush in my Iridescent Brush Collection, as we have fun with the 36 days of type challenge and use the letter A as a clipping mask!

Your brushes and color pallets are so unique and gorgeous. I’m still learning how to use them. Keep them coming. Is there a gallery of users’ finished products we could view for inspiration?
