This image and the Fallen Angel image are both Halloween treat. These images are on the unsettling or uncomfortable side (Halloween does not just have to be just about bloody horror).
Once again this is an image that is created from various image parts and using layer styles and blending modes are brought together to make s singular unified image. This is once of the true power of the more recent versions of Photoshop.

I love the concept of steam punk – so when I saw this image, I had to develop my own version of it. I think one of the most interesting things about this image was that the starting base woman image used to make this image. The image of the original model shows the woman with blonde hair in a tight braid. As you can tell – things got edited.

As part of it’s marketing, the game Battlefield has created a graphic style where the a solider is shown on a back-lite blue ish background with an orange-yellow highlight on the solider. In this image I was adding a different soldier image to the prepared background image.

I did this image for a number of reasons. 1) the tutorial was quick 2) I liked the basic design 3) It is a logo that has a shaded colour (green triangle) that could be easily converted to a single flat colour.
The third reason is the most interesting. When designing logos I have always avoided having tinted/shaded colours. The colours have always been flat colours (no shades or tints). I have also made it a goal to keep the number of colours down to a minimum.

This image is an example of how items from different sources can be brought together and made to appear as part of a unified image. In this case only the background image had a blue cast. By using layer styles and layer blends a unified colour scheme was developed.

Now seems to be the season of sports, baseball’s World Series is almost here, Football is in full swing and hockey is underway. Thus it seemed the perfect time to create some sports related graphics.
The great thing about this basic design is how flexible it is and how easy it is to create a unified look. Not only would it be easy to create a series of graphics for one team, it is easy to create a series of graphics for many teams or even different sports.

I can’t say I saw the “Man of Steel” movie this summer (I will probably catch it on DVD at some point), but I certainly saw the poster. I have to admit the design of the poster somehow did not fit my image of Superman (I always think of him as the ultimate boy scout), but as someone who does photoshop images, you have to love the highlights, shadows and textures.
