While there are as many different ways to accomplishing a vintage look using Photoshop, I like this method due to being able to control the look fully, by using layers and the brush tool. This is an incredibly quick and easy tutorial, it uses a few things that have been talked about here as well (linked for ease). Tweet This Post ...
This was one of my favorite projects when I was a kid, it’s also just a really fun thing to do on a snowy day. Tweet This Post ...
Color is an important consideration for almost any company, or website in general. Color can speak volumes of information, or just serve to keep some users on your website longer. While the normal consideration should be if it is user friendly, you should also take into consideration if it is working for you. Tweet This Post ...
Let’s face it, some dolls are scary. The above image both proves it, and scares the bejeesus out of me, and I’m the one who set that sucker forth into the world (and for that, I am sorry). Let’s say you have an image of a doll that for whatever reason you want to make much, much scarier( no judging). Tweet This Post ...
I’ve been a writer for a few websites for a few years. Technically, I think it’s called something to the effect of ‘Online Content Producer’ or some nonsensical phrase like that (I really don’t like office speak, at all). Truthfully– it’s awesome work– while far from the money maker that certain places will have you believe– it does pay the bills. Getting started however isn’t always too easy. It ...
I adore odd images of everyday items, just the way many can take something so ‘pedestrian’ and turn it into something scary, surreal, or even beautiful is awe inspiring to me. While I’m not much of a photographer, I do enjoy the art and even taking images and editing them to the point where they take on a who other form. The images in this process were taken by me today. They are all from ...
I really should have just called this: Marketing advice that annoys me– but I decided to be a bit classier. Do you have a marketing plan? No, crossing your fingers and wishing upon stars doesn’t count. At all. Sorry champ, but you do need an actual strategy and plan (besides, it’s rather overcast around me right now– if I can’t wish on any stars– no one can). Look ...
For someone just starting out without a whole lot of back work, it can seem beyond impossible to get work coming in. You need your foot in the door, and have no clue how to get it there. Starting out writing or designing online is a great way to work, and the job’s hours are unbeatable but if you can’t find the work it’s just another dream. Be honest ...
I didn’t start out online as an artist, way back when I just coded and designed websites (yes for fun, I’m odd, lets move on). While I’ve always been an artist, my normal work doesn’t translate well into the digital medium. Granted, that just means that I was too cheap to buy a scanner and Photoshop at the time. Either way, I’ve learned a lot during that time that may be ...
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) seems to be both the ‘it’ buzzword and a rather seedy topic all rolled into one. While firms can charge ridiculous amounts of money, especially if they are good, many may not be fully able to afford that price tag. Which leads us here (you are welcome). This is the absolute beginner’s guide, the aim is simply to help make you ...
