Magazine Painting Effect

This effect blends early-2000s editorial gloss with bold poster art aesthetics. Sharp contrast, edge isolation, and gritty texture create a painted finish that reads like retro ad scans.

It includes 2 high-resolution PSD files — vertical and horizontal — with Smart Object layers. Ideal for fashion portraits, print-style campaigns, model portfolios, zine graphics, trend reports, poster series, album art, and collage-based work. It handles bright colors and deep shadows especially well, pulling focus to strong silhouettes and stylized expression.

This resource is created, and fully compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest Creative Cloud version of the app.
