Unless you’ve been living under a rock the size of a cave troll, you’re probably well aware that The Hobbit is in theaters now, dazzling the eyes and numbing the backsides of audiences worldwide. To mark this “precious” occasion, Deke McClelland has created mini-epic of his own showing how to use Photoshop and Illustrator to create the chiseled and weathered metallic type of the film’s title.

It’s a great example of how the two applications complement each other’s strengths, and the eye-popping results you can get when you’re well versed in both apps.
