QGIS: using GIS to texture a map like photoshop

[Francissimo]

Hello everyone,
lately i've been playing with the latest version of qgis to try to make a map wich look like a photoshop map.
Qgis now have interesting options like drop shadow, inner shadow, and various blend modes for the layers and textures. There is also a new 2.5D mode for buildings.
I think that GIS software are now almost ready to make beautifull maps, the kind we like here. Of course photoshop is still a better tool to make a really beautifull map, but with GIS once you have configured all your layers style, you're ready to make hundreds of maps in seconds.
Here's a small exemple of what you can actually do with QGIS:

Hope you'll like it, and i'm really interested to see if other peoples are trying to play with textures in GIS software.
