that grit

use layer masks and photocopy textures

This, you can then vectorize it but it will result in a less appealing look

Can you elaborate a bit?

I've made some attempts but its not coming out as genuine looking, looks again like the kitschy "rustic" tutorials that are so abundant.


Thanks

Theres a few ways

>work in black/white, slap a grunge texture over the clean one as a new layer when you're done composing. Maybe even use wacom brushing if you're skilled

>poster edges, meh

>image-adjustments-threshold

>any combination of these once you're comfortable with each method
>>
print it copy it scan it if you want it genuine
>>
Create your work with PS, print it out, brush over your work with a toothbrush or smth similar, scan it with 300dpi. Done
>>
In photoshop you can get this look by changing the photo to blackand white, and the altering the levels (contrast, etc). You can also achieve this look in a more defined way and in one step by doing a black and white image trace in illustrator. It is less gritty but is easier to manipulate in ways like changing the color.

Ayy career suicide, I love that band.

the images are made using the photocopy/stamp effect in photoshop

>image-adjustments-threshold
is a good place to start from too

needs more threshold use if you actually want it to look scanned 1000 times over

>lazier than you could ever believe
hory shrek, it's more work to take a picture of your screen than to take a screenshot

You're on the right track using the threshold-adjustment…
for the "scanned" look:
USE A FUCKING SCANNER.

Trust me on this one, I've tried to recreate an 'authentic look' soooooooooooo many times, and the best way (the only way) is to do it the authentic way.
