Today I’m going to walk you through the steps to create a StickyNote paper with realistic shadow using Photoshop CS3. This tutorial will work with any version of the Creative Suite too, you’re tools may be located slightly different however. I also have the Photoshop CS3 file for download at the end if you’d prefer to work on the original.

On the way to my kid’s school, there is an abandoned building with a really nice graffiti piece across the front. Today I decided to take some high-res photos of the graf for you to download to use as texture or stock photo.
I started by taking all the images I had taken, and used Photoshop to photo-merge them into a single panorama; the graf art is very wide.
[TIP] To Photo Merge many files into one, with all the files open inside Photoshop, click File -> Automate -> Photomerge and choose the type of layout, then click “Add open files” … The box will populate with the filenames of all open documents -> Click OK
I have the finished piece available in 300 dpi JPG image at 11,629 x 1,707 pixels, and the rest available in 3 separate sections in 2,500 pix wide, 300 dpi PNG files with transparent backgrounds.

I recently searched for a Polaroid Image template to use for a project and found a tutorial for creating a collage of Polaroid images from one stock image. This gave me an idea on how to integrate their idea within my design.
I quickly lost interest in the tutorial as it was overly complicated and spread across 5 pages with little visual aid. Having lost interest in their way of creating this effect, but still wanting to do the effect myself, I set about figuring out the fastest way of achieving the same result.
Below is the final result of my tutorial; click through after the jump to learn the process and download the final PSD file if you prefer that way.
I’ve been playing around, taking pictures of objects and I like the look of this Logitech Wireless mouse.
I decided to give away the full-resolution image as a Stock Photo for you to use.
The photo is 2329 x 1814 at 180 dpi (roughly 13 in wide x 10 in tall)

I was surprised recently when I couldn’t find any hi-res leather textures for a project that I was working on. As a result, I got my hands on some actual leather hides and started photographing them. I wanted to share these with others who may also need leather textures for one reason or another. I have 12 leather textures available in high-res JPG format available in a ZIP file, after the jump.
Please enjoy!
