"Get a Vintage Roughened Text Effect in 57 Seconds Even If You're a Photoshop Newbie!"
Note: The Blacksmith is one part of The Mid-Century Print Pack – a collection of 5 premium vintage print actions. Grab the entire pack and save.
This print effect has become REALLY popular. I've seen designers use it on everything from handcrafted clothing labels to typography for bands like Mumford and Sons.
Back in the day (19th century) this kind of work was done with a printing press like the ones made by Miehle Printing Press and Manufacturing Company in London, England. This mechanical approach to printing as well as hand crafted typography resulted in prints with small flaws and imperfections.
You can still get this effect today. Well kind of, you just need to buy an old printing press : / If you do your research you can get a really small one (size of a shoebox) for around $500. If you're seriously into vintage printing you can pick a larger professional sized one for $3500 or more.
But if you don't have room in your garage for for a printing press The Blacksmith action does a good job of simulating the look of these old presses.
This non-destructive Photoshop action will give you the same look in less than a minute. Plus, it's 100% customizable. So no matter what size work you're using the action on the results will look great.
