This is a scaled down version
from a recent photoshop image I created for a photoshop
battle at Flash Kit, where I moderate on the Design
and Graphics Forum.
The sets used in this piece of artwork are metal
Plate, Grunge Crack Brushes
and concrete photoshop brushes.
Also if you like skull imagery it might be worth
looking at the new Skull
Brushes sets.
For those who don't know what a photoshop battle
is:
Two designers agree on canvas sizes and rules, then
one designer will create an image usually in photoshop
and post it for the other designer to add to or
alter (usually keeping some part of the previous
design) The second design is then posted for the
first designers response, this continues for a set amount of time.
Stock photographs are often used in battles along
with different fonts, quite often photoshop battles
will develop a theme or story line as they progress,
and some as well as being well designed can be quite
comical.
This also goes under the name of Photoshop Tennis.
Photoshop battles are good for getting designers
to practice working on different themes and developing
new ideas and for me it gives me freedom to create
work that's not controlled by a client. Its also
good for getting young designers used to finding
stock photographs and relevant image libraries. |
