Photo manipulations

2011-04-15T00:19:00.001-07:00

Photo manipulations are fun to create and fun to look at. The illusion produced by a good photo manipulation can leave a lasting impression on it’s audience and be very persuasive. That’s why we often see them used regularly in print advertising. To give you some inspiration for your next photo manipulation

Expressive lighting effects

2011-04-15T00:06:00.000-07:00

Lighting effects are an effective way to add a detailed illustrative touch to a photo. Justin Maller demonstrates how to go about combining several lighting techniques

Lighting effects are a versatile set of techniques that have recently come back into vogue in advertising and the fashion press. Lights and tracing motion effects can become part of the composition, adding brightness and motion to an image.

They’re an excellent trick to have up your sleeve because of the flexibility they offer and if you’ve got a few different methods in your toolbox, you can easily create a dense, detailed effect to use as a focal point, or simply add some subtle highlight touches to an existing traditional or digital illustration. Either way, with enough refinement and practice, the end results of combining these techniques will benefit almost any photograph or composition.

In this tutorial, I’m going to look at (among other things) ways of bringing originality to digital lighting by introducing and vectoring traditional sketches, as well as examining some nifty Illustrator-based stroking techniques that achieve results with the greatest of ease.

Bokeh Effect

2011-04-14T23:50:00.000-07:00

In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light." (from Wikipedia). I'm pretty sure you've seen this effect before, since there are loads of wallpaper roundups and tutorials using this technique. Currently, one of my favourite wallpapers has to be this bokeh effect from -kol.

Today, I want to add another addition to the bokeh "hype", by creating a pure CSS3 bokeh effect. With some help from jQuery, we can add some randomness in colour, size and position for the effect.

Magic lighting effect

The whole process took me about 35 minutes, one thing I think is really cool is to apply the color dodge blending option to folder, and put blurred elements inside of it. Using it you can create some really amazing light effects.

Photoshop Resources

2011-04-10T07:29:00.000-07:00

There's no doubt that I like to design. Next to coding, I also love to edit photos, designing websites etc. My personal favorite tool to achieve this, has to be Adobe Photoshop. Next to a good tool, you'll need some good resources. Fonts, Plug-ins such as Brushes and Textures, Stock photos can help you tremendously when designing. Here's a list of my personal favorite photoshop design resources.

Fonts, Stock Photos, Patterns, some Textures and Inspiring sites do not require Photoshop. Also, always check the compatibility of the plug-in with your software; Don't download Photoshop CS3 brushes when you're using Photoshop 7. The other way around (Photoshop 7 plug-in using in Photoshop CS3) can be possible.

If you think that there's a top-source missing from the list, share it with us by posting them in the comments. The sites listed here offer their services for free and are placed in random order.
