Brushing Up On Photoshop










I browsed the web for some free photos and decided to use the one above to create my poster. The before picture is what it was like before I edited it to the max. I then went into Photoshop and used lots of brushes, filters, effects and masks and this was my final outcome. I didn't follow any tutorials because I wanted this to be my OWN creation.

Let me know what you guys think :)

http://www.origamitube.com/


Thought i'd post something to do with the new project.

http://www.origamitube.com/
This is a video website with tutorials for origami, the japanese art of paper folding.

http://www.giladorigami.com/index.html
This is an origami site with galleries and reviews of books.

The image on the top is a book by an artist called Satoshi Kamiya. It contains detailed instructions and diagrams for his own designs.
You can torrent the book, but it might be hard to find an english language version. But I recommend it, its complcated but his designs are brilliant examples.

Web Optimize


Although many people aren't at this stage yet but when you get to uploading your site on the internet I found this really useful online tool which optimizes your webpage and checks for errors which Dreamweaver may not pick up.

Why does nobody use this anymore?
Lets get this rolling again!

Worth1000.com

Don't know if any of you will find this helpful at all as it's just a gallery and contests site, but it's worth a look anyway seeing as some of the work on here is realy well done.
