The tut was meant for the new beginners to give them a feel for photoshop and get familiar with some of the basic tools. The effect was cool. Now its overused
who cares if it's overused?
That's good on your part megan,
it's a great tutorial for beginners
and I say, they should keep making them if it boosts their confidence in the sig,
when you look at your own sig and say damn that's good, then someone else says damn thats horrible,
well it's always your thought that counts, and you learn from others thoughts.
