PhotoShop Techniques

Hi there everyone,

Just thought I would stop by and leave a blog post about my new creation of my book cover :)
Im very happy and had a few feed backs to make some changes so here it is !!!

First Page of my book :)

My second page of my book, I love creating and designing new things especially ones that take time to put every little thing together.

Check Back soon will be posting the "word of the week which is " Intention & Yield " !!

Word of the week "capable"

Hello Everyone , 

Today is a beautiful day , hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :) 

This weeks word is "capable", I decided to change my theme this time to a post card.

I'm pretty sure everyone loves receiving and send post card to someone, I know I love postcards, especially when the front of them have awesome scenery and designs on them.

My inspiration came from Leif Pengs (flicker account), the red and dark blue in the image stood out the most to me and the way the composition is laid out. For my design I thought I would incorporate these same colours and put my own twist to it.  

My first image was taken last week, and I thought This would be perfect to use for my design. 

The second image I added a few effects to make it look dark and gloomy, I also wanted the blue to stand out more.

For the third image I added a little bit more red to the background, and added my text " I want to be all that I am capable of becoming".  

For my final design I wanted it to look like a postcard, would you like me to mail one to you :) 

Hope you enjoyed my blogs thanks for reading !!! 

Have a wonderful day.

Word Of the Week is " Fluid"

Hello everyone , hope your all enjoying a wonderful week :)

The word of the week is " Fluid" , the first thing that came to mind was an image of fluid being poured into a glass. We all have different kinds of fluids that enter our body, and all have fluid in our system all already. Its a fact that we should be at least drinking eight glasses of water a day, I should start drinking !!

Below is a link to a quiz of how much water you need ? CHECK IT OUT!!

My image of inspiration came from Leif Peng( flicker account). http://www.flickr.com/photos/leifpeng/sets/  A lot of images to use for inspiration.

As soon as I seen this image , I knew exactly what I wanted to create for my design. I started to sketch some ideas down, sorry my rough sketch its kind of hard to see, photo quality not the greatest.

My final design, I'm really happy with the lay it turned out. I like the way the bubbles look kind of real and how my colours blend together just right. My favourite drink is orange juice with extra pulp :) this week I had a full jug to myself and boy was it delicious , Whats your favourite drink?
Have a good weekend < CHECK BACK SOON :) CIAO

For My next blog " the word is " Capable".

Word Of The Week " Popularity"

Good evening bloggers, Hope everyone is having a wonderful week, The topic today is, the

Word of the week "popularity". What first came to mind was when I was in elementary school and my parents always said that it wasn't everything. They were right, I had fun, meet new people and didn't worry what others thought of me, thats life.  I found this image in Leif's inspirations for cute kids. When I was searching for my inspiration, I had come across this image of school girls and I started to sketch some ideas shown below.

My rough sketches 

Created the stars and added and effect to it to make them dark,
and look outlined.

Added a shadow of the stars. 

Created the circles and formed them in a circle. 

Added the stars :) 

Worked with the text to get the best result I wanted
and came up with this design, Nice bold text to stand out.
I wanted to design a t-shirt , cause I always have fun creating them.

Add caption

I created a one of a kind t-shirt for you all to see , I wanted a message to go out that popularity isn't everything, we just need to all get along and work together with each other.

 Have a good week!!

Check Back for updates.

Thanks for stopping by.

International Women's Day !!

 Hello Everyone , I think im finally finished my " International Women's Day poster, it didn't take an hour to do ,  thats for sure :p :)

For My International Woman I decided to do Marilyn Monroe, she has always been my favourite person , her beauty and talents inspire me, She was the one you called perfect woman, she was herself, make up didn't matter to her.

However I did have a lot of fun designing and putting together this poster, I learned a lot of new ways to paint and draw my subject. Was very messy and had paint all over my arms but thats okay.

I started mine off with a little blue colour, and slowly started to fade my shades of blue, from dark to light or other way around. I had to play around with paint colours for her skin and hair till I got it the shades that I wanted, I tried my best to make her face look exactly like her and I think I accomplished that.  Do you Agree ?

Once I had finished painting, I was very pleased with the way it turned out , I can't wait to show my poster off to everyone, It turned out the way I planned it  !!

For my final digital photo I wanted to go for a more darker shade like old pictures, from black to white. It reminds me of old in days walking down the road and seeing movie posters, I moved my text around, it seemed to small. I wanted Marilyn to be the center of attention , her beauty and her charm she has on everyone. I had to brighten her skin to make it look for neutral.

I Am so happy with my design :)
Hope you all like it!! Have a wonderful Happy Family Day !!!

I learned to never start off with a white canvas, always have a colour because its not a photograph its a painting , doesn't always have to be the way it seems !!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE

STEP By STEP  For My Final Design.

The First image shows that I created the Hand and the knife, and the window I played around  with the gradient tool to get that refection at night. For my second design I created the blood on the window and the blood on the knife to look realistic. The font "can't live with out" says it all , I'm pretty sure everyone loves watching action, or horror movies and they all have suspense in it. In our everyday life we deal with suspense or on the news we see suspense.
