The follow-up to the Wedding Collage. I think they turned out better than I thought they would at first. The colors certainly look better now than before rendering.
Originally a Graphic Design-based blog, but also includes tutorials and personal opinions/thoughts.

Eco-Multi-Column Ad
Here's an Eco-Ad once again made with the Adobe InDesign CS5 book. I'm going to stop putting the name of the book I used because I'm getting tired of typing it.
Sporktown Brochure
Here is a brochure for a resort called Sporktown which may or may not exist.
This is from tutorial 2D, from InDesign CS5 (the book).
Once again, try to ignore the giant gap in the center.

Photoshop Frames
The following are several photos that I embellished with some cool Photoshop Frames I made using some tutorials.
The first one is called Out-of-Bounds:
This one was made using several layer masks to cover and uncover different areas. It also used Gaussian Blurs to make the shadows look better and the opacity level as well as the blending mode were messed with too.
Here's the tutorial for this one:

This next one is called a Leaves Photo Frame:
This one was made by creating a leaf-shaped brush tool and changing the blending modes. I had a little difficulty making the frame bright enough, so I went back over the colored leaf frame and repainted it by selecting and recoloring the leaves with a soft brush.
Here's the link for this one:

And finally, the Illustration Effect:
This one was made by using a Smart Blur and setting all the settings to the highest except for the Mode which stayed normal. Next, another filter was added, the Unsharp Mask and it was complete. I think mine looks pretty blurry because the original picture was a little blurry in the first place, but it still looks cool!

Scrapbook Template
So, I tried making a scrapbook template (even though I'm pretty bad at scrapbooking). And I don't think it turned out too bad.
Anyway, I used two different tutorials... One was for making a ribbon effect (I only needed it to create a ribbon that looked like a ribbon), and the other was for designing the actual template.
In the end, I made a mostly red template with five paper layers, one of which is acting as a layer adjustment, and another which is a "ribbon" border. I messed around a little with the opacities and blending modes. Also, I used several gradients and added an inside stroke to the places for the photos.
Here's an image of the template:

The second tutorial is for the ribbon effect and the first is for the scrapbook template.
