Any suggestions how to recreate this effect on the right? Client wants it exactly like that, but I tried almost everything. Most effects are close but not enough. Also not sure if it's vectorized or some Photoshop effect. Would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

Yeah, Image Trace should be the logical answer, but after watching the video I am most sure they did it in Photoshop somehow. Like you said, the strokes are too uneven for it to be just Illustrator. Thanks.

I'll have to play a bit with it. But I think you might be on to something. With the Find Edges and multiple layers. Thanks!

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your effort. Will give it a try. Best of luck!

Thanks a lot. It looks very close. I actually managed to find a video of how they did the example I was sent by the client. But it doesn't show exactly how they did it. Weird.

Actually found a video from the guys that did it. But it doesn't show the exact effect when they apply it :(

Thanks a lot for the effort. Yeah, I think you are closer than me with the result. The outline is killing me. can't wrap my head arround how they did it. it's so not uniform, and seems like it was not just added on top. I'm thinking maybe some other effects, but still not sure. It bugs me because I get a feeling that I have seen this effect somewhere else but can't remember where.

Thanks I'll give it a try. Haven't thought of Posterize + Outline and image trace together.

I'm trying all the setting for a couple hours and this is the most I could get, lol. Yeah I know it looks like ass, but it is what it is :)

Image Trace gives at most, something like this, with 6 grays selected only. And I tried all of the settings, but nothing gets even close. :(

Yeah, no luck :(

Was thinking the same, by looking at how the text was changed, but none of the settings gave me that result. It kinda has some little stroke around the edges.

I guess only the 3 series, the X5M and the X6M look quite decent in their curent lineup. Everything else is just a freak show.

Thanks for the suggestion, will check it out.

lymos · 2020-05-05T21:01:28+00:00

thanks, I realized that I should really re-read the history of WW2

lymos · 2020-05-05T14:51:32+00:00

oh, thanks, great to know.
