Start of Mural

Just thought I'd try something using a lot of white space for a change.

Fairly simplistic - a stock photo from istockphoto.com, some blurring (which also protected her modesty!) and the lettering is all in Basic Sans Pro.

Created in Adobe Photoshop CS2, using graduation mask, extract tool and gaussian blur. Also used a wacom graphire 3 for some minor retouching.

Time taken: 55mins.

Flower pic from back garden, put colour into the forground to give it more depth

Chaos · 13 Jun 2005 at 19:08

I took the center flower from Eyerex rotated it and removed the girl then placed in the bottom left corner was going for a surreal abstract type pic. All photoshop CS2.

I took the yellow butterfly from UncleBob's piece and made it the pattern on the man's coat in my piece.

Also, I used a stock photo from DeviantArt!

overtone didnt give me an easy pic to work with so i ended up cutting out its framing, blowing it up to fill the canvas and going colour crazy on top of it. not really sure about it but its the best i can do with the preceeding image

Sin_Chase · 17 Jun 2005 at 23:52

Pretty obvious what ive used from the previous picture. Wanted to try a little freehand which didnt turn out quite how I wanted it but hey. If I spent more time I think I could do a lot better but I kind of like the simplicty of it

Dom- · 19 Jun 2005 at 18:21

I hate this,but it's the 'best' of what I produced earlier today and yesterday(I spent the whole of yesterday doing loads and loads of different designs but they sucked,so meh!)
First time I've used Illustrator to produce a piece,the ladybirds need work(because they suck)
95%-Illustrator
4%-Photoshop
1%-Pure frustration
Mainly wacom tablet

Also some some stupid reason,I have a 'ghost' white border around the image when I view the image through Firefox,but not IE :supermadangrysmiliesmashbang:

Illustrator is wierd,especially when your so used to how PS works it seems irrational somewhat
Also it just seems to like being awkward,why they couldn't just make it behave more like PS I don't know :/

It also seems that the ladybird needs touching up a bit :/

Nimzicki · 23 Jun 2005 at 21:15

I can hear Boz screaming now "oommggzzz circles are SSOOO last battle" but damnit, they're not dead yet

Enjoy.

G18241 · 25 Jun 2005 at 12:31

Ok here is my feeble attempt:

Errm what can i say, used the photo because i just loved the colours in it and added some circles like nimzicki's piece

If my turn had have landed on thursday as it should

i would have been able to produce something better, but given the time, thats the best i could do im afraid, so apologoes for whoever is next for not having much to go on

Crewy · 26 Jun 2005 at 13:58

Coudlnt think of anything to do for this one so here it is

i am did was get a stock photo add a layer mask with gradenit and added a light point to make ti look like the sun shining on the water.

Sorry for not giving next person that much to work with.

Sherbs · 27 Jun 2005 at 01:47

Cheers for looking.

TommoUK · 1 Jul 2005 at 15:34

A little rushed as I've been busy, but I think it turned out okay

Used a stock photo from DeviantArt.

Shoseki · 2 Jul 2005 at 22:14

Just going for something simple...

elite · 4 Jul 2005 at 03:45

edit:none

hendrix · 4 Jul 2005 at 19:05

Bit dissapointed with the background, generally please with how its turned out

Universal · 7 Jul 2005 at 19:51

Been listening to the Beach Boys far too much, over the summer months! The sky from the previous image was used for the colours.

Phate · 7 Jul 2005 at 23:26

considering i didnt really have much to work with before i was stumped on what to do really.

so i whipped this up on the quick could have made better of it but im out of time as im busy for the next 3 days straight

so anyway
