Photoshop Brushes

Well.. there is a lot more to photoshop brushes than I thought. I was overwhelmed when I searched it in Google. Two sites that I found most helpful were www.bittbox.com and www.myphotoshopbrushes.com. Both were very informative and offered tutorials as well as brushes made by other designers available for personal and cooperate design. Later today in class I will explain how to create your very own brush, load other's brush designs and give you some places to go and look for different types of brushes.

Postcard Designs

In this design I will be using 12 words (expectation, facade, panacea, john, moot, gear, clever, indecision, red, twenty, archaic, and clean) for the emphasis of 12 individual postcards. Half will be connotative, the other half will be denotative. I have made a list of these words along with their definition so that I have it's full meaning. I would like to use multiple photographs of my own in order to make this design process work.

Photoshop Tutorials!

I have been browsing some photography and have found a helpful blog that have step-by-step tutorials on creating textures, conversions, and a lot of other neat little tricks!

Project Number One






This project was all about process. The first part was generating five sketches of any object we wanted. From there we created a company and did a promotional board to advertise the company. I chose a book which led to a children's bookstore, Pages. I chose to design a business card, gift card and post card promoting story time.
