I recently saw an engraving done with a single spiral and I thought it would be fun to recreate this inside of Photoshop. So that's what we're doing in this tutorial.
The first challenge is creating a linear spiral. We do this inside of illustrator (and if you don't have illustrator-I have included the spiral EPS in the assets for the tutorial).
With our spiral, we use some techniques in Photoshop to create the engraving-namely the Hard Mix blend mode. This is one of those blending modes that hardly ever gets used, but it creates a threshold effect and it does so inside of your layer stack, opening a lot of creative possibilities!
We finish it up with a gradient map to color the illustration and then some paper texture on top of the whole thing. The paper texture I got from one of my favorite resources-texturelabs.org. And if you haven't checked out Brady's UA-cam channel, you're missing out! He's the master of procedural effects in Photoshop. Check it out here → / @texturelabs
