Create Spectacular Concept Art in Photoshop

March 20, 2008

Creating conceptual work can be fun and relies heavily on your imagination. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to combine stock photographs to create a stunning effect that can be easily reproduced to work with almost any combination of images.

What we’re going to be creating

The outcome to this tutorial depends heavily on what you want to create and whats going on in your head. I collected two stock images that I thought would work together before I begun from sxc.hu. Here are the links to the stock images i used: Landscape, Cityscape. You can use the same stock images I have but I would also recommend you to experiment as that’s half the fun!

Review: PSD2HTML

March 19, 2008

I got the opportunity to try out the services of PSD2HTML. They're one of the larger design slicers around and was interested to see what I would get. Full disclosure: PSD2HTML advertises on this site and offered up their services in exchange for this review. I'm always hesitant to outsource work but luckily when it comes to HTML/CSS I've had one or two people that I can rely on. So I was a little nervous to see what kind of code I'd get back from PSD2HTML and how much extra work I'd need to put into it.

Flash WordPress Themes Galore From Milo

March 17, 2008

While hunting down some groovy looking WordPress themes I came across Milo’s site and was pleasantly surprised. Milo is a graphic designer based in Munich, Germany and she has created some 100 WordPress themes that are available for download on her site. Milo is a master at flash and many of her themes look rather groovy. They are certainly less conventional than most of the free WordPress themes we see on the market and would suit an artist perfectly. While her themes are all available for show, none of the demo links actually seem to work. From what I have seen, there is no other way to demo the themes than to see them on the sample page. I kept going round and round until eventually I just gave up. Below is a screen shot of the sample page where all the themes are listed. If you click on it, it will lead you to the same page. milo's themes Read more

Bringing Your Brand To Life Through Your Visual Identity Online

March 1, 2008

Krishna De - Biz Grwoth news original banner_1.jpg

For some time I’ve been wanting to do a major overhaul of my visual identity online.

So this year I am planning to develop a number of my personal website and business blog sites and try to bring them back to the core of my personal brand.

I would always recommend that you start with looking at the corporate identity of your business and work from there, but since my personal brand is so intertwined with the corporate identity of my business and the fact that most people come to know me through “Biz Growth News”, I made a decision to start with a redesign of this site.
