Method & Craft: Combining Vector Shapes in Photoshop

Method & Craft: Combining Vector Shapes in Photoshop:

If you could irrationally summarize my 12 years as a professional designer, it would probably be something like this:

Years 1-8: Voraciously consume conceptual knowledge, skills, and techniques
Years 9-11: Focus heavily on conceptual knowledge and soft skills
Year 12: Return to learning some new skills and techniques

Phil Coffman's tutorial is a perfect fit for year 12. Also see Gerren Lamson's Unique Vector Shapes in Illustrator.
