How To Create a Blueprint Effect in Adobe Photoshop

[ad_1]
Today we’re going to combine a few simple tools and techniques to produce an old and distressed blueprint effect in Adobe Photoshop. If you’re a bit of a whizz with 3D design software, this effect is ideal for creating cool technical drawings for your concept car, spaceship, or even character models. Export views of the front, side and top, and maybe even a wireframe view to combine into a cool presentation.
Alternatively, you could also find some existing real life technical drawings, like my example of an F-16 fighter, or even create the effect from a photograph.

    Right on time. I'm trying to figure though if I could use this technique to make a graphic that would go on different colored tshirts where the color of the fabric would become the background color. Would this technique work for something like that?
