Diversiform

I’ve been playing with Photoshop for about a decade. I haven’t had a reason to do any hardcore work so currently it rests as a hobby, but I have enough skill in the software suite to be able to learn from tutorials anything I don’t currently know how to do, but that now that I want done (I have scores of hours of tutorials that I’ve meaning to get to and will when the need arises or leisure time allows). Here is a small sampling of what I’ve recently done.

Just playing with Brushes to make a collage:

Playing with patterns and styles, reminds me of an expensive piece of chocolate’s wrapper (hmmm, chocolate):

Notion Ink are making a tablet by the name of “Adam“.  The company realized that they needed a brand logo/letter head type of thing and so put out the call for submissions offering $1k and one of the first Adams off the production line as payment.  After the one week window had passed they had 4,500 submission to plow through .  Worrying about font ownership I restrained myself in that regard, this is my submission (open source font and notion create from geometric shapes):

At the time of this image I was looking at the grunge style of things. I was also tooling around with some fan-made brushes. Being happy with the way the pistol grip turned out I decided to finish the piece like this (note: personally I don’t have a strong opinion on guns):

Logo update of a vampire-based facebook fan club of White-Wolf products (“Midnight Dance“), unsolicited mind you (it’s their loss for not using it):

I tore the border from a RPG sourcebook and logos from the Kobo website to make a cover image for a self-made case for the aforementioned (Kobo) ebook reader (note: I bought one for my Mum for her birthday — $140 –, but I didn’t like the $20-$40 hard/soft case price tags):

After an operating system reinstall I was looking at my custom brushes, this set, and this one, with advice on how to make the results kind of neon-glowy resulted in this image:

Then of course there’s the header for this blog:

So those are a few of the things that I have done of late.  With regards to Photoshop I’ve been mainly working photography (adjustments, clean it up, repair damage, create atmosphere or interest).  The examples turned out well (IMHO) for source images taken from Facebook Images (ergo low quality — 720px by ??? resolutions):
