Tutorial Assignment Monday #1

Interestingly enough, I had already started working from a tutorial the week before J. Herring gave us the assignment of POSTING our tutorial results but I just didn't get the chance to. Anyway, this is the link (which I have saved in my Links section).

My results didn't fare too well and I spent an hour trying to rectify the problem but either I am dumb or the directions didn't work. LAME!! I was trying to go for this:


Instead, I didn't get anywhere. I mean, the stamp look looks pretty cool and all but I wanted the grainy effect. That's where the black and white industrial lines in the poster were for; it ended up looking pretty edgy even though I didn't get the results I wanted so I kept the Threshold effect.


Maybe have someone explain the directions better?
