@young karma It's fine for your first poster. I'd highly recommend you to take reference banners/images and try to mimic them to develop your Ps skills and design sense. 😃
Hey guys, having a bit of a creative block the last few days. Anyway here is my attempt at the first challenge. Any comments, suggestions would be welcome.
formal furnace
Hi this is my work. https://www.behance.net/gallery/77166615/PS-Daily-Creative-Challenge
looking forward for some feedback please!
young karma
@young karma It's too dark, cannot clearly see the subject and the text. Try to have some reference images when you are making something. It will help you with your creative block as well. 😃
uncut kayak
I'd also say the words are maybe a bit small. One problem I always have when making something for print is remembering how big it will be in the real world. For something the size of a postcard, anything small on your image will be even smaller when it's printed!
I've taken to doing a sketch on paper the size I want it, and then photographing it to bring into Ps. It helps me keep my sizes straight when my sense of scale goes off the rails (I make everything too big myself, it's a problem)
rotund lark
@young karma That looks cool, Very dark do it could be my screen but finding it hard to make out the text and the figure. is it a man in a space suite . maybe try add like a spot light
@young karma That looks great . maybe add some lines like you see on an old tv .that might look cool TV INTERLACED SCAN LINES

young karma
@rotund lark Thanks Mark! I agree that it should have a VHS look to it. I'll make the changes right away.
young karma
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to make it look better. Thank You! 😄 https://www.behance.net/gallery/77165265/Level-Up-Photoshop-Daily-Creative-Challenge-01

Hi guys! this is my work for the day 01 challenge. https://www.behance.net/gallery/77168687/Level-up-Daily-Photoshop-Challenge-day-01? . Some feedback is appreciated ....

Hey Guys! This is my work for Day 1 Challenge https://www.behance.net/gallery/77168955/PSdailychallenge-Creative-Challenge-1
peak warren
@young karma I like the second version better. It’s got a very “Hotline Miami” look to it. Is that intentional? (Or did Hotline Miami swipe their style from someone else?)
Anyway, strong piece. Made me really notice.
young karma
@warm agate like the vertical text on the invite
@narrow cedar looks very promising game night .
swift stream
@warm agate Very cool concept having the image within the image. The only thing I might consider adjusting is your type in the bottom corner. The leading between the lines is a little inconsistent and tight. Overall, great work!
@young karma I like where this is going! Your color palette is 👌 . I'm curious how you would incorporate the party details in with this.
narrow cedar

@young karma @uncut kayak @rotund lark thanks for the feedback and comments. Version 2 but still trying to resolve this design?
short isle
Is this background too busy?
gaunt hill
@young karma Thanks!
uncut kayak
@young karma It's definitely clearer, but I think maybe now the words are overwhelming the image by being so bright? The grim half-light style of the previous image was really good (especially given the subject matter), it just needed a couple of tweaks to make the elements stand out more.
Also: darn it I never did finish Half Life 2. I'd feel bad about it, but Valve never finished Half Life 3 so I guess we're even.
turbid junco
added some color to make it pop.
austere imp
Hi! I have incorporated the minor changes. Would like some feedback... https://www.behance.net/gallery/77168687/Level-up-Daily-Photoshop-Challenge-day-01
kindred gate
I used for the first time the app Capture and photograph a game that I have at home, I place a the jot down notepad as part of the composition on top of the Scrabble game, then added the info for the invitation in other layers. (Daily PS Challenge Day 01)
young karma
@uncut kayak thanks again for the feedback. I'm at the point of abandoning it at this stage. You're totally right about the text. I have changed it, but again I'm worried that it's too dark again. On my calibrated monitor it looks fine?
uncut kayak
Oh wow, that's super sweet! @young karma
It totally brings back that moody feel but makes it much more legible at the same time. Nice job!
young karma
Hey guys, just joined the Discord. Seeing some great stuff here! Here's my submission. I feel like it lacks something, perhaps a graphic element (?). I tried to challenge myself with the invite format and keep Kathleen's dimensions, while I prefer a poster format. Any feedback appreciated!
uncut kayak
I like it, it has good balance. I do worry about those poor pets being stepped on by people in goggles though 🤔
young karma
@uncut kayak Thanks! Haha, thats a great point, actually...maybe they are tamagochis😎

Hello this is my invitation!!! 🙂 someone had ATARI?
short isle
@kindred gate That's amazing! You did a really great job! "Join Us" gets a little lost with the background But WOW that's amazing thanks for sharing your process!
kindred gate
Thank you!
short isle
@young karma I don't think it's missing anything. It looks great. If you feel like it's lacking try making the font a bit bigger? That will fill some of the space. Great work!
young karma
@thick vale That looks great! So retro 😃 I only started with Commodore 64
@short isle Thank you Lisa. I think if I made the font of "Get ready to play" bigger, there wouldnt be enough negative space between it and the date. Thats why I thought some graphics might be better. But perhaps the space above lets it breathe, too
thick vale
Thanks @young karma I just once in my life I saw a coomodore64 and it was many years ago It was very similar to Atari

hello, here's my game night invite for PS Daily Challenge day 1; yes I twisted the concept a little but I wanted to have some fun 😜 feedback on design elements would be handy, ta ever so
limber fossil
Hi everyone, here's my games night invite. Let me know what you think.
glacial path
@limber fossil wow! well done 😄 I like the idea of making it look like a sign! I wonder if a darker background would help it stand out even more. Then you could even play with some glow to imitate lightbulbs! Great design ^^
wet river
Uploaded mine to Behance! My first post on behance.~ was so happy about all the positive feedback I got yesterday!
https://www.behance.net/gallery/77141137/Level-UP-PS-Daily-Creative-Challenge

@woeful rune Aw yeah! I love those memphis patterns! I think you could make them even more prominent! Go bold 😄
wet river
Memphis patterns are awesome! I was making some memphis style patterns recently.~
limber fossil
@glacial path Thanks Tim, I'll try a darker background.
wet river
@woeful rune love the look of this! Good job! ⭐
woeful rune
I hadn't made a pattern in a really long time, but I made the small controller pattern that is on the blue and remembered why I used to do that a lot
I love textured backgrounds
limber fossil
@woeful rune Thanks, If I had more time I would have made it look more 3D . Adding light bulbs could be cool.
wet river
@woeful rune yeah the textures can make such a difference!

young karma
this is my day 2 challenge interpretation of the futuristic card with a twist. What do you think about it?
glacial path
It absolutely is a cool look, but you would probably need a silver marker to write on it without losing contrast @tropic dome 😄
tropic dome
@glacial path will change the bg for text :))
young karma
A small adaptation of my postcard! Is this better?
glacial path
cool idea with the fireworks and good use of blending modes @young karma . It is a bit tough to read though, especially the first "e" in "we're". you could fix that by adding some brightness to the text 😃
echo dawn
thoughts? i dont think im done yet.
tropic dome
I did my changes as well 😃
glacial path
We will also review your work on stream if you submit it on Behance (be.net/live) via the challenge tab 😃

Day 2 - Futuristic Postcard. Instead of using cities or places to travel, I use 2020 for my postcard. Feedback?

@young karma cool background and beautiful colors! I wouldn't make the 2020 transparent though. Make it really prominent and bright! Go bold 😄
young karma
@glacial path Okay. Good advice.

Six layers, one mask, two blend modes (difference and overlay). One vacation to mars. Feedback welcome.
thick owl
haha "one vacation to mars" @stiff depot - hope it was relaxing
@thick vale what is that typeface?! it's crazy 😃 I would love to see it slightly bigger since it's so visual / graphic. It would also make it easier to read.
@gaunt hill nice job and a beautiful picture. For the text placement - if you're going to go off center - I would emphasize it a little more with the top sentence.
Bring it up and over to the left! 😃
gaunt hill
ok sure! @thick owl
young karma
@glacial path a little brightness and curves on the txt. Is this better ? Isn’t it too light though? I feel like i’m losing contrast

@gleaming halo liking your use of blend modes. I would suggest changing the format of the date text since it could be a bit hard to decipher (i.e. 04-01-19 , April 1st, etc.)

@young karma where are the clipping masks?

@echo dawn I forgot. I'll re -do it and put the clipping mask in.
bleak fossil
Nice job @young karma ! I really like it... I think I see what you mean about the graphic element... I alsmost wonder if you do something a little more to frame the text on the right hand side.... Maybe another line/bar but on the bottom, but maybe a bit thicker, and then raise that whole section of text up just a tad? Hard to pin down what it could use. Great work!
Very cool @echo dawn I like it! I think possibly making the "see you" text a bit bigger and using a blend mode that makes the text overlapping the astronaut become lighter rather than darker could help. Same for the "soon" across his facemask, so that it pop out a bit as a lighter value. Really like how you warped the text to fit his helmet btw, looks good!
Great designs @ivory finch ! I personally like the blue one, seem to fit the VR vibe well. Great use of shapes and composition!
Looks great @limber fossil ! I think you could even go darker with the background to further separate it from the rest of the design. Might also add to that late night casino/Vegas Strip feeling if it's darker as well. Great design!
Very cool @young karma ! I think challenges like this are a great way to break out creative blocks. I think one change that could really help this image is just lightening the smoke in the background to show the hand a bit better, and lightening the text to read a bit easier. Currently everything kind of gets lost in the black of the image. A background that is maybe closer to this value: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/209160/header.jpg?t=1447355542
Nice work!

@bleak fossil can you check mine out please?
peak warren
Hotel branded postcard. The kind they put in your desk drawer, and you almost never use. Text of "W hotels LEO" purposely done with low contrast, because W corporate style does that.
feedback welcome, ofc
glacial path
@young karma nice! Here's an idea: maybe you can use the magenta color from the background to color the text? And if you're feeling adventurous: how about a purple glow on the ground?
young karma
@glacial path Okay
turbid junco
Added some copy so WYWH is understandable.
glacial path
just an idea! if you don't like it, no problem @young karma 😃
peak warren
@knotty sapphire That looks wild. It makes me think of procedural tools, like KPT. How did you do that?
young karma
@glacial path I like it.
haughty violet
Hoping for feedback on my earlier one too ^^;

@haughty violet Julia and Jasmine will take a look at it on stream in 90 minutes 😃
haughty violet
@glacial path oh I meant my delayed post for yesterday...I joined the challenge late >.<
bleak fossil
Really cool @turbid junco great image and mood. I feel like it could be nice to have a little contrast somewhere in the image. Either having a light text over the dark background, or lightening the background slightly so the text pops more. Could even be cool to have the waterfall a bit lighter to give off an almost glowing/illuminated effect. Either way nice work!
Nice work @young karma I like the way the character is overlayed over the text but still readable. Could be kind of cool to duplicate the character and set it to a blending mode so the text shows through, and have the original on a normal layer mode with the opacity slightly down, that way you get a slight see through effect with the text. I’d have to try it out to see if it looks good, but just an idea. My main suggestion would be to lighten the background a bit to create some more contrast. Currently the values are all fairly similar which can sometimes flatten the image a bit. Either way, it’s looking good, really like how you handled the variation in font sizes!
Great design @deft pawn Really clean and effective! I almost wonder if it would help the composition if you just scaled up the entire design element in the middle just a bit? Really like the nice balance of shapes you got with the text, Pikachu, and the controllers!
Hey @young karma glad you joined us! Nice work. I think it might be nice to see a little contrast in color temperature. Currently everything is a blue tone except for the red on Mario, it might be nice to see you introduce a warmer color somehow and have that repeat a couple places throughout the design. Maybe through text or a border/frame around the image. Usually picking 2-3 colors for a color palette is a good way to begin a design. Nice job!
turbid junco
@bleak fossil Thank you! I agree. I'll keep working on it.
sterile bane
@leaden granite I like the subtle use of blurring in this! I'm not sure about the dark blue shape. Maybe if the color matched the text a little closer it would feel more cohesive. Nice use of masks as well!
@gaunt hill I think the text size of "wish you a great vacation" works well. It gets a little close to the top of the dome - maybe you could move it up a little? I'm guessing it's placed there so that the firework will be the dot in the i. You might be able to move the firework a bit upwards.
@thick vale very cool! feels cosmic and cool. I agree with leigh, although enlarging the text will be difficult if you want them to fit within those geometric shapes. Perhaps you could increase the size of the two outermost shapes and decrease the center one?
@knotty sapphire awesome! I'd love to see some text on there. Where are the ilsnads?
@stiff depot haha! love it. I think it works well from a design standpoint, too.
@young karma I love the energy in this. Maybe you could put a solid color over the entire background and use a blend mode to make it slightly see-through.. so the background has a little more cohesion but you can still see the fireworks. This might allow you to see the text more clearly
@errant echo nice layout & combination of images! I think the text layout is pretty strong.
@gleaming halo cool! the glow is awesome. The bottom feels a little empty, you could crop it or add some more info like what times, details about the activities, etc.
(will cont. feedback in a bit! don't fret 😃 )
gleaming halo
@sterile bane Thanks for the feedback, that's helpful! I'll make adjustments this week.

@echo dawn Sam just gave you feedback but I'll share mine as well :)
Like what you did with text inside the astronaut visor, very original! Agree with Sam and the text feedback. Another option is to experiment with adding background shapes to make the text stand out more. Kinda like what Kathleen did with the triangle in the video today.

Day 2 project - distributed the WEB country codes trying to match country flag colors, then oriented them to their spoke positions. Then I grouped all of those individual layers together. Can all of them have their type size changed simultaneously so they are more obvious?
glacial path
@gaunt forge what a great use of blend modes! the only thing I would change is: make it landscape and write the text horizontally. vertical text is often difficult to read 😃
@deft pawn I love the channel separation effect on the font! and the glitch "filter" is also super nice. well done ^^
thick owl
@deft pawn I agree w/ @glacial path - really nice use of the filter!
@gaunt forge nice job w/ the smoke!
true nova
What do you think? 😃 @sterile bane
sterile bane
@young karma cool! is this for a real event? i don't think you necessarily need such a wide bar at the top of the image, or you might not even need it at all. It's a little distracting with the contrast between the grey and blue drawing the eye away from the info. Also, the type on the left is a little thin and spread out to be easily read.
@signal creek love seeing the blending mode play! it's interesting to see the typography exploration as well. Perhaps the vertical text on the left and right could be kerned out a bit more (more space between the letters) to better match the airy feeling of the other type and the movement of the background
@young karma greetings from 2020! I think the text fits nicely in that space on the background. Personally, I would think about changing the font color to mesh with the background elements a bit more. The rich navy of the text feels a bit disjointed from the bright neons.
@coral zodiac very cool effect on "GAME NIGHT"! How did you go about achieving it? The overlap of the trophy and text adds some nice dimension. I think the line of text at the bottom of the invite could decrease in size and possibly become a bit tighter (less space between letters) since it is secondary info
(will be back with more feedback soon!)

Good afternoon guys. Went for an on-Earth, aufofuturistic-ish, digital-postcard-transparent feel.

I changed my postcard.
grim frost
@blissful badge I really like the flat color of the spaceship, I personally associate that with a very sleek, future-forward look so I think that suits this challenge well. And of course the type - fantastic.
@fiery pivot we both went for geometry! I'm biased toward the use of triangles. I like the use of the outer-glow on it. I also dig how there's like ... a hint of retro-futuristic? style? if that makes sense? The only suggestion I have would to try and mask out the stars that are in front of the moon perhaps
@gaunt hill again I like the use of geometry, something about clean lines must invoke some degree of futurism in us. This is funky and cool
echo dawn
@gaunt hill I just wish the text would pop more

@wicked nexus your design feels really retro! the purple and orange/brown is an awesome combo. nice!

Hey everyone, I'd love some feedback! Thanks!
@simple cradle Nice job on challenge 1, I like the use of the fonts you chose and different colors in the font. It makes it very clear to read and I like the color balance.
@woeful rune I like the coloring effect in the font, almost wish it went the entire way! It's such a cool effect
@turbid junco great glow around your font and the effect you chose to cut out the letters. Interesting image too!
sterile bane
@primal zephyr love the custom cover image! nice. I think the design and color are strong for your game invite, but the writing is difficult to read. Maybe you can keep the design the same colors and lighten/simplify the text?
gray badge
@primal zephyr I like the second one, it really plays well with the color scheme you have.

@simple cradle thanks!

@fierce vapor cool color palette! I love how graphic the design is. the hand and controller feel very "realistic" when placed within the graphics. I wonder if you could try adding color overlays to those objects and blending (maybe using overlay or color dodge?) to gain a graphic effect.
gray badge
@lyric dome Ooh the colors are nice, like the sun is setting! Great layout and use of space. The small bridge addition to the back is a nice touch

@gray badge Great work with the neon light effect. Did you make the beer mug too?

short isle
@gray badge super creative! nice work
sterile bane
@young karma I do! I've never played but listen to a lot of D&D podcasts :D
@thin prism i love the simpliied graphic in the background! It's fun and clean. Since it is so clean, you could play with using a sans serif font to match the style. Also, I like the use of the red and blue in the text, but it's slightly difficult to read. Perhaps one of the text layers can be set to multiply to darken it a bit.
@young karma nice! I like the type face you chose
@signal creek awesome!
@turbid junco i really enjoy the glow around WYWH. It can be difficult to get an outer glow to look good in PS and I think you nailed it
@woeful rune the stacked text is really cool and graphic!
@simple cradle Great text hierarchy. My eye immediately goes to the title and travels down the page to gain more info. Nice!
@gray badge hah! did you use outer glow and a certain blend mode to achieve the neon effect?
@lyric dome I love the composition and the orange BG. The blue and red don't seem to mesh well with the orange (although they are the literal colors of the bridge and the water). It would be cool to see the bridge and the water in slightly different hues (maybe a terracotta or salmon and a more aqua blue?)

Thanks @gray badge, i really do love the colour pallet aswell

You can check your mentions by clicking the "@" symbol in the top right (not sure if interfaces vary though!) @rotund lark
rotund lark
Thanks @severe dust I never noticed that @ before 😃
severe dust
Also, the team was going to check on adding subthreading like we had on Slack! @rotund lark
coral stone
@severe dust I changed the color and created a mask with the text. I also added some noise
obtuse marsh
What is subthreading from Slack @severe dust I'm no expert, but I've used Discord for about 3 years now
severe dust
@obtuse marsh you can comment directly on a message. It keeps comments attached and not jumbled in a general feed. Slack uses it but it was unclear if this is a functionality of Discord
haughty violet
obtuse marsh
That is not a feature of discord at the moment, to my knowledge, the only way to have a response on a specific message is a reaction using an emoji
severe dust
@coral stone has a nice mood to it! Very tonal
signal creek
@cursive pawn I love the colors and font!
coral stone
@severe dust Thanks for the feedback 😄
severe dust
Right @obtuse marsh that was what it was looking like. When people revise their work, it'd be nice to tack it onto the original post so we can see the development over time and to avoid redundancies in commenting
obtuse marsh
Messages and posts can be 'pinned' by admins, if they are of importance using the three dots at the side then 'pin'. These can then be accessed by the Pin icon at the top right of the screen/text channel
cursive pawn
@signal creek Thanks! 😁
obtuse marsh
If pinning messages is any help that is @severe dust
dusty karma
Today I was out of ideas for the challenge, I started with another one, and now I got this idea... What do you think? 😁
severe dust
It's more about the overall management of a feed hierarchy for all users. @obtuse marsh Thanks!
obtuse marsh
It's no problem, sorry i couldn't really help
severe dust
So vibrant! @dusty karma Nice job creating contrast for your header! Actually maybe the subhead could get a little contrast too, you might be able to achieve with either light or dark text in this case
coarse wind
I also like the contrast! Nicely done 😄
dusty karma
I'll try that @severe dust !! Thanks Guys! 😀
minor bloom
@bleak inlet thanks for the feedback! Yes, I was struggling with the text. Was unsure of the font style. I will try to resize or change the style and see if that helps. 🙂
woeful rune
@sterile bane thanks for the feedback
primal zephyr
feedback? i dunno what to do with it.
loud dawn
Kind of late, but here is my challenge for the first day!
@coral stone i like much more with the changes, the noise is a nice touch
coral stone
Thanks @loud dawn 😄
lucid summit
Quick one I did using a Tesla Ad.
wet river
Here is my postcard from the future! I figured the layered light panels would be a good way to use a bunch of different blending modes, also used a bunch of different blending styles to get the texture of the planet! Hope you like it!
deft pawn
@wet river Love the design!! The colours especially!
wet river
@deft pawn Thank you! I love how blue and pink light look together, I thought it was very suitable for a futuristic look!
bleak fossil
@lucid summit Nice work, I really like the sense of the scale you get with that image, very cool. It could be nice to see the text in “future” brighten up just a tad, and maybe even giving the bottom road/car image a slight tint of blue could help tie it into the scene more. Looks really cool!
@loud dawn Very nice! I like how you made your design match the B&W aesthetic of the card game. Hah, love that game by the way, always fun with friends. My only possible suggestion is that the “E” in “where” forms a bit of a tangent with the side of the black card. Could be nice to scale all of that text up a bit so that it’s overlapping the card slightly. Nice work :D
@primal zephyr Cool image, definitely has a certain mood to it. I think I see what you’re going for, but I think the transition may be a bit abrupt. Might be nice to have a more gradual gradient with the orange color and texture. Currently the sharp drop-off kind of splits the image in two. Glad you joined us!
@dusty karma Cool design! I almost wonder if this image would work better in a landscape format due to the text being a bit crowded on the sides. Could also be nice to make the blue triangles in the background a bit bigger to get the text to pop. Also, a small nitpick, but I think making “be prepared” all lower case letters might fit a bit better. Either way I really like the vibe of this design, nice work!
lucid summit
Thank you! I had actually tinted blue and than I changed it to green haha. Agree about the text as well.
loud dawn
@wet river Love you design, the color are beautiful, the only thing i notice its the planet color on the underside, its kind of weird? Maybe correct the color to a purpleish shade? it might go better with the color palette
@bleak fossil Thanks! I´ll try what you suggest
young karma
@coral stone I love your contribution from today's challenge! Nice work 😃
dusty karma
@bleak fossil Thanks!! I'll try that too!
young karma
@lucid summit that's so awesome
coral stone
Thank you so much @young karma!! 😍
bleak fossil
@wet river Oooh, awesome shapes on this one! Definitely a cool futuristic, almost cyberpunk feel. I think that making the inner part of the text closer to white might giving more of a glow feeling as well as making it pop out from the rest of the image. There’s a lot going on as is, so giving it that extra contrast could help it be a bit more visually dominant. Great work!
@haughty violet Hah, very cool futuristic vibe on that, I like it! Two suggestions that may be worth trying. One is that I think using a Levels adjustment on the girl might help give her more contrast to match the high contrast look of the rest of the design. Secondly I think a simple vignette could help focus some of that heavy texture and contrast towards the center which might balance it a bit more. Nice job.
@coral stone Great design! I kind of like how the first one had brighter text. Currently everything is kind of a midtone value, it would be nice to see some lighter lights in the text and stars or even in the city lights. You can really control where the eye goes by where you choose to add brighter contrast on an otherwise fairly dark image. Great work and glad to see you joining us!
@lilac iris Love the colors and texture! It’d be cool to see you blow up the size of those triangles so they reach the bottom and become overlapped by the text. Might create a little more depth and interest rather than just be side by side with the text. Nice work!
loud dawn
@wet river Its kind of dark? I´sorry haha, i dont know how to explain, maybe adding more light in a kind of purpleish pinkish, maybe another layer over it?
wet river
@bleak fossil thanks!! Yeah, I'll try that! It was even more messy before, already removed a bunch and moved things around to make it more clear. ^^
bleak fossil
@cursive pawn Wow, great design, I really like it! I think a basic vignette on this image could really nicely focus all the texture and contrast into the center to balance it out a bit more. Nice work!
@minor bloom Very cool, almost reminds me of an ad for a tv series or something, hah. I really like the simple bold colors and shapes on this. I think it could help to increase the size of the text (at least the title and location) and brighten up or darken down the blue text. Currently it’s nearly the same value as the background and makes it hard to read. Just a couple thoughts, great design!
@humble blade I like it! Very cool and clean design. The green shape is a bit confusing to my eye at first, I think maybe making it on something like a multiply layer might add a more clear graphic shape and frame the text nicely as well. Nice work 😄
wet river
@loud dawn hmmm... so you're saying its too dark? if I understand right? hm, I'll see what I can do.
coral stone
Hi @bleak fossil thanks for the awesome feedback. I changed my design based on it. I created 2 levels adjustment layers (dark and bright) to enhance the words and to create kid of a vignette to give direction to the eyes. I also created a glow with an orange brush in overlay with low opacity for the ellipse, to make it a little brighter and bring more attention. 😄
bleak fossil
Oooh, great improvements!
wet river
@coral stone Much better contrast and saturation now! good job improving it.~
coral stone
Thanks @wet river 😄
wet river
There, just some small edits. Made the text a bit lighter and put a bit of color on the planet!
modest rock
@lyric dome thanks for the thoughts! Very helpful. I'm also playing with a little halftone for pop on the background as well.
loud dawn
My version of the second day challenge
young karma
Hi everyone. Images are looking awesome. Love the colours, and blending modes coming out. Here's my day 2 for you to check. Hope you like it 🤙🤙🤙
peak warren
@wet river What font is that? Looks like modified kanji & kana.
@young karma Can you post the card, as well as the mockup? I like the mockup, but it's hard to see the card.
young karma
Here it is @peak warren 😎
@wet river the top one is called Hiroshima script, and bottom is Luxurious. Free fonts, I'll try find the link again if you it
peak warren
My second attempt at a postcard. I realized the first version had precious little blending. This one is a complete redo. Also, a very different version of futuristic.
dusty karma
I made some edits like you two said...
@severe dust I changed the color of "be prepared" and I think it's better
@bleak fossil I tried what you said, I made this in landscape but didn't like it because the triangles gets all the space of the postcard in the same size I made the first one... So I get back to the portrait format and made this one, where I changed "be prepared" to lowercase (I don't know if I will keep like this) and I made the triangles bigger... I liked it like that!
Thank you both for the feedback!!
wet river
@peak warren yeah the font is made to look like that! Its called Electroharmonix and its a free font!
humble blade
@bleak fossil thanks for the comment, I'll work on that
young karma
Day 2 - Futuristic Postcard redone. I change the color to match the background.
echo dawn
@young karma thats getting better, but where are the blend modes?
peak warren
@wet river Thank you. Do you read Japanese? It’s really disorienting for me because it doesn’t scan. Ofc, maybe you like the disoriented feel. (I may be in the minority here.)
lucid summit
Made a few minor changes as per feedback. Thanks guys.
young karma
@echo dawn I used Linear Dodge (add)
echo dawn
looks cool!
young karma
@echo dawn Thanks
minor bloom
@coral stone nice work! I like how you changed the colors, it has such a great mood!
minor bloom
@bleak fossil I really appreciate the feedback. I will adjust the text size and play with the color and values. Many thanks! 🙂
echo dawn
you guys are all so talented!
swift stream
Borrowed greeting from @sterile bane
peak warren
Simplified the mushrooms and made them more ghostly with exclusion blending.
uneven kindle
That's my Day 2 Submission for Futuristic Postcard design. It is about space travel. Feel free to comment on. 😃 I think, space travel can be so common, in the future. I send you a postcard from the Moon.
young karma
what do you guys think about this one? Took the chance to celebrate Lunar Landing 50th anniversary 😋😋😋
tight glen
#levelup
kindred lagoon
#LEVEL UP! Some feedback would be awesome!
young karma
@SamPeterson Thanks for the advice. Im still working out this day 1 design. It's the balance of trying to keep it moody/gloomy and still show the assets. This is version 4. If you have a chance to take a look.
brazen barn
Not much time on my hands, but managed to complete this.
young karma
@primal zephyr i really like it. Maybe a little more contrast on the text. Perhaps a drop shadow added to it. Or a white box around the text with 25% opacity? I’m just thinking out loud. Keeping in mind the comments i have gotten about readability of my txt. I hope this will help you along in your creation. It has a very futuristic feel
primal zephyr
@young karma thank you.
I noticed its harder to read on a phone than on a desktop, so that's why it seemed fine at first for me. :D
rotund lark
I wanted to do something different for a futuristic postcard so i did this , This is a still from a 5sec video
young karma
Hey, here is my entry for the second challenge. I got feedback on it during the last stream and tried to improve it, what do you guys think - did i fuse it, or did i schmooze it? 😃
@young karma I really like where this is going. The texture in the background is very nice and overall very moody. Have you tried adding a bit more glow to the beam and the arm? might keep the moodiness, but make the asset glow 😃 Regarding the font on the left - I can see it is intentionally touching, but I'd consider just a tiny bit of line spacing anyway, to add more separation. Or maybe it is the font that looks a bit more wide than tall that creates the effect for me.
rotund lark
@young karma The 2nd one looks really good but the (come to us ) is very hard to read on this small size
maybe make it a bit brighter half way to white or try adding an outer glow on the layer , maybe
young karma
@rotund lark how about this?
rotund lark
@young karma yep that works
young karma
@rotund lark Thanks for the tip 😉
uncut kayak
Oh, maybe it was a size issue.
Heh, immediately I have feedback on myself, that is way too dark 😃
rotund lark
I wonder what the max file size is for discord
ill test it haha
@uncut kayak my video image is 4mg so you should have no problem uploading your one maybe there was a connection issue
young karma
@uncut kayak Pretty cool. Though as you said, maybe the font needs better contrast, i.e. lighter color 😃
uncut kayak
There was a nice adobe live about a guy who makes awesome city scapes by like, cutting part of the skyline out and flipping it over? It was quick and pretty cool.
@rotund lark thanks for the test, I was pretty sure it wasn't size related but I've no idea what it actually was
tepid sierra
ok this is a bit of a mess...and please ignore the "adobe stock' in the background. any advice? or start again. (im a beginner btw)
different font i think? something more futuristic?
with a digital font
young karma
@peak warren love those mushrooms
eternal marsh
@tepid sierra personally, I think the first font is easier to read
young karma
@tepid sierra your font really looks like a cry in a well. I can almost hear the echo
eternal marsh
My attempt for day 2
neat sable
tepid sierra
i did this really quickly and not very well... (and used kiddy drawings i had done previously in illustrator with a paint wash background). Its a kiddy invite.....cartoonish....
ok i think this is getting better
how do you comment here below someone elses design?
glacial path
unfortunately that's not an option yet @tepid sierra . but you can always @ someone 😃
tepid sierra
ok . thank you. are you from adobe Tim and here to comment and provide feedback?
ok i think this one works?
night isle
so I've had a couple of goes at the day 2 challenge, this was my first attempt
then this was second attempt but not sure which version I prefer ... what do you guys think ?
young karma
Taking the advice of Axiam to heart I gave challenge n° 1 a second try.
Here is my futuristic postcard. Comments are always welcome.
Damn I need to up my game lol
glacial path
@tepid sierra Thank you for sharing! It looks like you have already seen a problem with your first design: the black text on a dark background was a bit tough to read. In the new version it is much more readable 😄 ! I like how you used the same magenta for your text and the lens flares. I'm not quite sure how you could fix it, but the white squares in the pink lens flares are fighting for the viewers attention. Because of that, I would look at them first, before reading the text. Maybe a subtle vignette can fix this? 🤔
@night isle woooah! I really like the first version with the darker background and the lighter text! It feels more like space 😃 . If you just reduce the brightness of the space ship a bit, it would blend right in! Maybe add a bit of magenta (if you know how to use adjustment layers of course)? Well done! And that's a killer font 😄
glacial path
@young karma thank you for sharing your invitation 🙂 So it looks like you have blended two (or even more?) images together. If you look a the horizon, the yellow sky could use a bit more orange to blend in with the upper half of the image. Something like this:
I like how you have added a blurred frame around the image! Classic post card 😄 @young karma . One last thing: the font is really friendly, but the image looks more... "dangerous"... you know. I would either go for a more aggressive font if you would like to keep the image or I would go for a more calm background if you really like the font 😛 - I can't wait to see more of your designs!
night isle
@glacial path thank you so much for your feedback!! 😀 I'm currently studying graphic design at home so any help is gratefully received!! I tried to have a look and see if I could work out how to change the brightness / add magenta to the ship as you'd advised but couldn't see how - would you mind explaining so i could have a go ... thanks 👍
turbid junco
@night isle I really like the first one. A little contrast between the type and the background will help. Great image.
night isle
@turbid junco Great thank you 😀
glacial path
@young karma your second design is really cool! great color harmony and nice font choice 👍 . I also like the triangles and the "solar system"-look! The only thing you should keep in mind is: when sharing images, make sure to share the original file. This one looks very compressed, especially around the "Hello". But that of course has nothing to do with the design of your card, just with saving it. So thank you for sharing that cool card ^^
@glossy trellis nicely done! Great font choice and cool idea with the subtle background pattern! I like how the word "retro" is glowing! Super cool effect 😃 . formatting the date as 2APR19 is a bit unconventional but it still works! What do you think of adding a border around the card? Something along the lines of :
young karma
Hi Tim, what do you mean with original file (the psd?)? Because I uploaded the jpg, like I did with my other projects.
young karma
Quality: 12 (maximum). I also checked resolution which is 300px/inch
glacial path
how strange 🤔
ivory finch
Hi everyone! What do you think about this futuristic postcard? 🙂
wet river
@peak warren It's just regular letters with shape language that makes it similar to japanese. Personally I have no issues reading it, but I understand that some might. For this specific design I could of just made it actually in japanese, since I aesthetically like that look. But since I had the font I figured I could keep the text in english and still get that aesthetic. If it were commercial work I might of selected another font. But thanks for the feedback, its good to know that some might have issues reading this! I was wondering if that were the case.
young karma
Be kind on the feedback 😉
rain hazel
Some feedback please 😀
coral stone
@ivory finch Great design! I like the font and the colors
young karma
@rain hazel Mind blown how you've created that, well done 😃
glacial path
@ivory finch hey cool idea and nice font choice 😄 ! I would change just one thing: the hue of the blue circle is a bit off. You could sample a color from the background and use it for the circle. That way, the entire composition would feel more complete (at least in my opinion 😉 ). Thanks for sharing!
rain hazel
@young karma A big part of it is the choice in stock image. but then blending the triangles, choosing a font that is fitting, adding drop shadow to make it pop, then added some pink and green paint splashes on the text for good measure!
young karma
@rain hazel So modest :p I'm a complete noob at photoshop, that work I posted is the only thing I've ever done haha
rain hazel
well welcome to the Photoshop family, continue to learn via tutorials, and challenges such as these. keep progressing, and never let doubts or fears stop you! 😀
young karma
@rain hazel Thank you very much! I got the idea for my image from life drawing I did at college. I found I could draw the model better if I thought of her in simple shapes rather than worrying about perspective and all that shizz.
I tried to play around a little bit with blending and transparency, but I'm still fairly clumsy within Photoshop... I'm too used to Illustrator! Hopefully I'll feel a bit more familiar by the end of the challenge.
glacial path
@young karma Thank you for posting your work to the channel 😄 ! I like your idea of using circles to trace the shapes of an underlying image. I wonder what that image actually is - looks like a human or almost an alien 😱 ! I would possibly even add some color to the grey areas or make it darker so they look more like shadows. Of course then you would have to make the circles a bit brighter. I'm sure it would create a lovely high-contrast look (if that's what you're after). Once again, thanks for sharing ^^
young karma
@glacial path Cheers Tim and thank you for the feedback. 😃 The image is a nekkid lady ha, I like your suggestions it was really cool to play around with things.
glacial path
@rain hazel wow! that looks super impressive! Nice color composition, great use of shapes, awesome font choice, cool texture on the font and finally: good layout. For future submissions, try to experiment a bit more with the layout - putting the text in the center is a guaranteed way of making it look good, but dare I say it: it can be a bit boring 🙊 . Of course I'm only saying this because you've nailed the rest!
@young karma awesome! (I was hoping for an alien, but oh well 😂 )
young karma
@glacial path Maybe next time 😆

here is my entry for the Day2.
austere imp
Hi guys! What do you think about the futuristic postcard. Some feedback please.https://www.behance.net/gallery/77168687/Level-up-Daily-Photoshop-Challenge-2019
peak warren
@young karma I love how the nebula (?) in the space photo lines up well with the woman's hair. That's a really strong composition. You might want to make the blouse darker. Do you know how to use the selection tools yet? You said you were still learning/
ivory finch
@young karma thanks )
austere imp
Really good @echo dawn
ivory finch
@gptw_ioseph very nice work 👌
echo dawn
@austere imp those are really good, in the game night i like the tilt of the date, and in the wywh i love the use of blend modes!
young karma
@peak warren I think I understand how the selection tools work but at the moment they don't feel intuitive to me (after years of using Illustrator I'm stuck in my ways!) so I'm hoping some deliberate practice will help it all click into place! Thanks for the feedback.
austere imp
Thank you so much @echo dawn
echo dawn
z@ivory finch i like your post card, it has that nice retro future vibe, maybe play with opacity and blending more tho?
peak warren
@young karma I am sure Katherine will get us to use them all as part of the challenge. This is my second time with the challenge. She is a great teacher.
echo dawn
@young karma the selection tool is tricky, considering there are like 10 of them... but it just comes with time
young karma
@peak warren @echo dawn Thanks both!
echo dawn
no problem, photoshop is a beautiful tool and it takes time
im the opposite, i find illustrator hard myself, but im working on it
ivory finch
@echo dawn thank you 😃
echo dawn
np!@ivory finch
@night isle thats a really dope post card! i just wish the rockets were more colorful, maybe some color correction?
rain hazel
@glacial path Thank you so much for your feedback! you know, I was actually thinking of that when I did it. but as I has already set up the triangles the way I did, I felt the text had to sit in the center, idk
Thanks again nonetheless 😀
echo dawn
@rain hazel i just looked at yours as well, looks great!
rain hazel
@echo dawn Thank you so much! I really like your design too, did you use photoshop to make the word 'soon' fit inside the shape of the mask opening? if so what tools did you use to make that happen?
gaunt hill
A simple one.
echo dawn
@rain hazel yeah i used photoshop, ill show how i did it
@rain hazel https://s.jmax.io/N79OJ5.mp4
that tool right there
rain hazel
oh cool, so it's the good old warp tool, I'm familiar with it in Illustrator, but wasn't sure if it was in photoshop or not
Thanks
austere imp
@gaunt hill It's nice but, according o me, you could have made the text a tad bit dark so that its readable
gaunt hill
ok will do @austere imp
echo dawn
@rain hazel yup, the one and only! can i see some of your illustrator work? you talking about it gets me pumped to see it!
gaunt hill
echo dawn
@gaunt hill looks cool
rain hazel
@echo dawn here
echo dawn
woah thats cool!
gaunt hill
Thanks @echo dawn
austere imp
@gaunt hill Now its really good
rain hazel
@echo dawn I don't have much work (worth sharing) from illustrator just yet
peak warren
@rain hazel I like the coffee one!
echo dawn
thats alright, ive been using the tool for almost 3 years now, and my portfolio is just getting started
rain hazel
@echo dawn very cool, I'm guessing a number of different programs were involved in all this?
echo dawn
yup, mainly after effects
rain hazel
did you make all the illustrations that were involved? and did you use Animate aswell?
After Effects, I will have to learn how to use that as well, such a long list of excellent adobe applications that I want to master 😛
echo dawn
i illustrated everything in well, illustraitor, but i didnt touch animate. photoshop was somewhat involved as well
rain hazel
@echo dawn Keep it up
echo dawn
Best part is - im 16 so i still have a long time to get better.
rain hazel
Oh yes indeed, I started getting into all of this at a later age than you did, so onwards and upwards
night isle
@glacial path & @echo dawn Thanks for your comments, i've had a play around with the colour of the rocket ... what do you think ?? Too Pink ?
austere imp
Hey guys! I have done a double exposure using blending modes. Any feedback is appriciated....
echo dawn
@austere imp looks really cool! text somewhere would be nice to fit with the theme, but i really like it!
young karma
@austere imp yeah, if you put it on the top I’d think it’s for an album! Haha! I personally like more constrained and bold colors, but it’s still awesome regardless!
thick owl
@night isle super unique take on the challenge - great job! I lost the rocket a little bit in it - maybe the color is more saturated or it’s just slightly bigger - to draw the viewers eye in.
@austere imp agree add text would be great and a good challenge! this is so beautiful and simplistic I could see why you wouldn’t want to tho!
short isle
@uneven kindle NICE work! LOVE THE black hold tunnel! (the purple on black is hard to see) Great work!
@rotund lark very eye catching! Love the mockup
gaunt hill
@austere imp Nice work!!
short isle
@austere imp really nice work. Maybe darken the background and add some text since it's supposed to be a postcard?
glacial path
good point @thick owl ! quickly stiched it together to see how it could look
buoyant pendant
This has changed drastically along the way, but here's what I've got so far
echo dawn
@buoyant pendant ooooooh!
short isle
rotund lark
Thanks @short isle not sure it works at this size but at full screen it looks better. and i probably should have left the text on for longer in the video
short isle
Here's mine... feedback?
echo dawn
@short isle thats cool, but itd be nice to see the text a bit more stylish
seems a bit like it was just placed on
@glacial path lookin much better
short isle
@rotund lark works great on my end looked at it both ways SUPER CREATIVE!
icy cargoBOT
Alright, @austere imp has been warned for 'Mass mention'.
rotund lark
@short isle oh very nice, the text and the green almost like an album cover, but the game controller changes everything . not sure about the controller. is it needed ?
Thanks
short isle
@rotund lark to keep it "game related" the controller says I'd even pause my game...
austere imp
@short isle really good
rotund lark
ah i see it now missed that on the smaller view 😃
short isle
the controller wire text is bugging me but I set a time limit for this go around. It may be something I revisit to @young karma
glossy trellis
@glacial path Perfect idea Tim, I am going to add a border 😃
short isle
@buoyant pendant Like it very much!
night isle
@glacial path @echo dawn @thick owl Heys guys ... how about this ??
glacial path
niiice!
night isle
👍 😀
short isle
@night isle really nice. I'd rotate the text a bit to start the "take" more on the top to make it easier to read. It's really beautiful and shows a lot of work!
night isle
@short isle thanks Lisa, I did wonder that or whether to remove 'take me' and just leave it as 'out of this world'?
echo dawn
@night isle THATS YOUR BEST YET!!!
young karma
i love it! great job @night isle
dun dun duuuuuuun
well
I'm enjoying the process
Hi all, I would love your feedback on my Day #2 challenge. Thanks so much!
glossy trellis
@glacial path Is is look better? I used border with neon effect 🤔 🙂
glacial path
well done! It looks awesome 😄
young karma
@young karma That looks ace! The guy in the car, is that The Stig? 😂
night isle
thanks guys you've been amazing with your feedback really appreciate it !!👍 so removed the 'take me' and think I might be there now! 😀
young karma
That's Starman! 😂 It does look like him!
Thank you @young karma
@young karma Cool ha and you're welcome 😄

Can someone tell me why I am getting this error message? Warning: No pixels are more than 50% selected. The selection edges will not be visible.
remote phoenix
I think it's because of the opacity of this layer
I should be more than 50% visible

@narrow cedar I would use it as a phone wallpaper, it's so nice!!
pastel spade
@raven meadow check to make sure you're on the right layer
sometimes I've created a new layer that is empty and get that msg
raven meadow
I am, that is why I am not understanding the error. I only have 2 layers
thanks @pastel spade
Gonna start over

@rain hazel Love the design and the lighting. b/c the type is white and there is also white in the bg design, it's a little hard to read at first glance. Maybe play with some different fonts or type color or layer fx? Or see what it looks like if you move it to the lower right where there's less white in the bg?
@narrow cedar I love all the lines and shape in the design. The only thing I might keep playing with is the type (font, position, size, color) but it also looks great as is. Well done!
narrow cedar
Thanks @pastel spade I'll consider experimenting more with the type for the next one thanks for the appreciate n feedback 😊
raven meadow
@rain hazel is the background stock or did you create it?
young karma
It's been a while since i just played around in PS. So why not dream!😊
sterile bane
@echo dawn cool! the color palette is really working. I think all of the effects looks pretty nice. My only critique is that the 'u' in up is just baaaarely touching the L in Level. This creates a tangent and attracts the eye to that spot. You could either overlap the two more obviously or try moving the 'up' further away from level. Hope that helps!
woeful rune
lone hare
@woeful rune Really nice glow
rain hazel
@vale pumice Stock image, wish I could claim that I created it 😛
glacial path
@woeful rune cool color palette! I would slightly increase the spacing between the LU and the LEVEL UP. that way the glow isn't touching the text below
pastel spade
I like the double meaning I'm reading into the LU, looks like 4 U, as if saying, this Level Up is 4 U!
calm galleon

Hey guys, here's my contribution. I used some custom brushes and the filter gallery technique for the background 😄
rain hazel
#1 in my opinion

that looks so good @coral stone, love the background as well
echo dawn
@woeful rune thats really good
tight glen
@narrow cedargreat work shambhy like those artistic work u have done
echo dawn
@narrow cedar did you draw that?
coral stone
Thanks @young karma 😄

@tight glen Thanks 😊
raven meadow
1st Iteration
young karma
@calm galleon Very Cool level up.
hard bramble
Day 2, Blending postcard
echo dawn
@hard bramble wow thats amazing
narrow cedar
@echo dawn I've played with the blending mode and few alterations in the illustration to get the look n feel
echo dawn
ik, but did you make the illustration?
narrow cedar
@echo dawn nope
hard bramble
@echo dawn Thank you!
echo dawn
no problemo
eternal marsh
@calm galleon I have no idea how it's called in english, but I love the effect you put on the font! Quite fitting imo!
@coral stone the background is indeed really nice! 👍
coral stone
Thanks @eternal marsh!! 😄
echo dawn
@eternal marsh glow? reflection? 3d? blur?
raven meadow
nice @hard bramble
eternal marsh
@echo dawn those boxes/ squares
echo dawn
@eternal marsh depth of field?
calm galleon
echo dawn
thats clean!
young karma
@hard bramble i like that lonely figure!
ruby zodiac
a little behind - but here's my day 2!
austere imp
Nice work @ruby zodiac
young karma
The pessimist.. haha. A postcard from the future. Think I might have gotten a bit off the road here considering this is supposed to be a game theme challenge and not an enviromental theme challenge, but what do u think guys?
ruby zodiac
thanks guys!!
austere imp
@young karma Its simple and good but I think the text is a bit on he lighter side...
i think you could make it a bit bolder or change the hue a bit
young karma
Agreed, thank u @austere imp
tight glen
#day 1
young karma
This is my application of lesson3 . Legible? Too heavy in the make up? Thank you for your ideas
lone hare
@tight glen Great work! I would possible change the blue "level up" part to a more contrasting color, also the white lettering needs a drop shadow or something to see it better 😃
flint oxide
Player 1 logo any thoughts?
echo dawn
@flint oxide quite cool, but it would be nice to see some deviation from the tutorial
flint oxide
@echo dawn indeed, im kinda new to photoshop but ill try my best next time 😉
echo dawn
just try some cool background
glacial path
@flint oxide ! Nice one! how about some static noise in the BG?
flint oxide
@glacial path oh nice thanks ill try to use that!
sterile bane
@young karma hey, climate change is important too! maybe society would take it more seriously if we made a game about it? i quite enjoy the styling of the type. my only critique is that the bottom half of the postcard feels a little empty. perhaps you could repeat some of the triangle shapes somehow
@flint oxide really nice job employing the tools you learned today! 😄
dreamy drift
a little behind to- Day 2😬
flint oxide
@sterile bane thanks a lot!😁
echo dawn
@dreamy drift thats really nice looking
dreamy drift
Thanks @echo dawn
young karma
@sterile bane That is true! Haha that is exactly my thought, and I chosed a font that I thought felt like a game and also had a tiny icy feeling over it. I totally agree on the bottom being a little empty, gonna do something about that right away! 😄
gaunt hill
@sterile bane I created this by exactly following your instruction. I am going to another one by playing with it differently.
*do another one
sterile bane
@gaunt hill cool! that's a really interesting color palette. can't wait to see what you make in round 2
gaunt hill
thanks 😀 @sterile bane
haughty violet
Enjoyed the challenge!
vivid maple
I made an Up Arrow thingy
eternal marsh
@echo dawn I think its a mixture of 3D and the tile effect? or something, I really don't know how you would call it otherwise
young karma
@narrow cedar your design is stellar 🙌🏻
narrow cedar
@young karmaThanks
pastel spade
@vivid maple very nice use of the arrow! Love it, very subtle. Nicely done
echo dawn
@haughty violet very cool
haughty violet
@echo dawn thanks!

@hard bramble thats all good, this is a photoshop challenge, not a photo taking one

young karma
@glacial path Me likey
echo dawn
@glacial path nice twist to the tutorial!
austere imp
@glacial path Cool dude
stiff depot
I got all sidetracked and made something that wasn't a logo at first, but started all over again thinking, "logo, logo, logo" and here's what I came up with. I think it would still look good in logo thumbnail size. What do you think?
young karma
@glacial path Reminds me of Eerie Indiana(if you know what that is)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eerie,_Indiana Totally showing my age now
@stiff depot whaaaat the pink circles look like eyes, which is cool. I do think the level up text is a smidgen close to arrow image but overall I really like it 😃 well done!
bleak fossil
@dreamy drift Nice work, really love the colors on this one! I kind of wonder if a perspective warp on the top text could look cool. Might be a cool effect if it matches the perspective of the towers, just a thought. Really love the almost retro mood on this piece.
@flint oxide Nice work! I think having more offset attached pieces coming out of the text rather than pieces that are completely separated might help push that glitch look a bit more. Good job, glad you joined us for this challenge!
@young karma Cool effect! Though it almost looks a little more physically broken than a sort of digital glitch. I think it may be a bit visually noisy with the strong contrast on the vertical lines plus the broken pieces. I think toning down the vertical line contrast and adding the horizontal glitch lines could be a cool effect! Just depends on what you’re going for, nice work!
@tight glen Great design! I really like the colors and composition you have. I think increasing the size of the “level up game on” text and making it a bit brighter could be be a simple adjustment to help the whole thing read a bit better. Nice work!
primal zephyr
hey guys, what do you think?

Any feedback much appreciated , I think my project is so far back in the list no one can see it
bleak fossil
@young karma Great work, really nice design and colors. I think it could be really cool to duplicate your entire image, add a bit of a gaussian blur or something, and then erase or mask out the middle part with a soft brush to give the whole image a sort of blurred vignette. I tried it out and it almost gives the effect that you’re looking through ice on the sides and helps focus all the intense texture and detail towards the middle of the image. Makes a nice balance so it isn’t as visually busy. Either way, good job, glad you joined us!
@ruby zodiac Hah, I love this one, great job! It could be nice to brighten up the main text a bit, might add a nice balance to the brightness of the rocket trail and the light part of the sky near the bottom. Could help make the text a bit stronger of a focal point. Awesome work!
@echo dawn Really cool style to this one! I think it could be nice to see the darker yellow drop shadow effect that the “Level” text has. Seems like it could tie the whole thing together a bit more. Nice work :D
@calm galleon I really like the clean look of this and the subtle drop shadow definitely add to it. Nice work! For whatever reason my eye is really drawn to the way that the angle of the letters seems to “cut” into the second “L”. It could be nice to see what the angle looks like without cutting off the top of the “L”, so the entire angle would be raised up slightly. That might just be a nitpick though, great job!
young karma
@primal zephyr anned. Maybe i would leave thestroke of the text! What do you u think?
primal zephyr
@young karma I actually had it without first, but then it was harder to read!
distant kraken
@rotund lark Photoshop Mario is super adorable, I really like the added details of the wave texture in the background and the honeycomb pattern in the blocks. I'm not sure if another focus may benefit the design? I feel like I'm waiting for text there or something to tell me what it's about. Your postcard from the future is awesome!!! That one is my favorite in your portfolio so far. I really like how dynamic it is and your thought about postcards from the future including movement. Awesome work!!!
rain hazel
@eternal marsh looks really cool, I think both work well, maybe the second slightly more imo
eternal marsh
thanks @rain hazel 😃
rotund lark
@distant kraken Thank You, Mario was just going to be my cover photo but i liked it so much i had to put it in 😃
@eternal marsh looks great . I think you should add something to the background.. maybe you could add a Mario mushroom behind the arrow, at 15% opacity 😃
latent lion

Okay, Day 3 done, it looks low resolution to me for some reason.

eternal marsh
@rotund lark thanks! Wanted to keep it simple, but I will try to experiment a bit more with the background :)
And you seem to really love Super Mario 😄
rotund lark
I think its cos its leveling up 😃
young karma
Because we all need a reminder #smile
rotund lark
@gaunt hill imm not sure about the circle ripples but the other textures are cool looks like someone ttried to photograph a holagram
distant kraken
@gaunt hill I like this! Maybe cropping the image in a different way, perhaps cutting off a lot from the bottom and moving the text to be on either side of the girl's face? Not sure, but I think you're onto something super cool! Like an album cover maybe?
young karma
Hey all. Still tweaking day one based on the feedback I got. I think I'm done with this now. Thanks for all advice.
gaunt hill
@rotund lark@distant kraken thanks for your feedback. I am going to remove this. I didn't get what I was expecting. Will try a new one. Thanks again!
rotund lark
@gaunt hill keep it as an image in the process in your portfolio. I often start something then after a wile ill go get tea come back and not like what im doing and start again . Have fun 😃
@young karma That looks great but would it work better if it was Portrait ?
gaunt hill
ok @rotund lark
young karma
@rotund lark I did think of that. I like the space leading off to nothingness. I just think it's at a place now and I need to step away. I had a journey with this design and it has help me get out of my creative slump. Going to move on.

Good morning everyone, still very new at this. Looking for feedback.

@waxen spindle that is so great man! Love the first one especially
sturdy wadi
Please share your feedback

@waxen spindle one thought I had, could you try make that triangle go behind the text and not be broken like that?
sick cipher
Hey everyone, Hope everyone is having fun doing these challenges. Here is mine for day 3 , would like some feedback
loud veldt
When are the challenges due? Are they all due by the 15th or daily?
sick cipher
@loud veldt Here is the link https://www.behance.net/dailycreativechallenge.
eternal marsh
I played a bit more with the background
@rotund lark also added a little mushroom for you 😄
glacial path
oh no! the power up almost disappears 😮
eternal marsh
yeah it doesnt really pop out I guess 😦
glacial path
why not put it below the text and apply the same glitch effect ^^?
eternal marsh
Oh, I like that! Thanks for the tip 😃
@sturdy wadi Nice! I like the frosty looking font! Could be a screen for a mobile game 🙂
sturdy wadi
@eternal marsh sure
waxen spindle
@white crescent like this?
sturdy wadi
@@eternal marsh Thanks for valuable feedback first feedback on this community
waxen spindle
I also update my first project

Like the neon light look to that
full topaz
I like the arrow , reinforces the point
lone hare
@full topaz Well alright, thank you!

Yeah nice work @lone hare The colours works really well with the theme 😎
lone hare
Thanks! @glacial path @young karma

@young karma Yes good idea. Thank you!
turbid junco
Hello everybody, here's my PSdailychallenge Day 3 Level Up logo.
primal zephyr
@turbid junco could it be that you forgot the second E?
turbid junco
@primal zephyr it's a futuristic theme so I condensed it. Here is my layout from yesterday, let me know if it makes sense. thanks!
tropic dome
late for the 3rd challenge but finished the logo. tested from 1024px to 64px for legibility
kindred lagoon
potent sapphire
primal zephyr
@turbid junco personally I would then either remove both Es or have them both there. Just removing one seems odd to me. But perhaps other people habe different opinions on it.
Your postcard has a strong outer space feeling. Kinda reminds me of that one game... Austroneer? Or something.
young karma
day 2 postcard.

@young karma really love the colors here

I'm still tweaking around on this, but I'm wary of overdoing it. It's hard to know when to leave well enough alone!

So I got a bit distracted by the idea of the image here, but I couldn't find any stock photos that did what I wanted, so I drew it myself 😃
This is an actual adventure I'm working on, if it seems very specific

Thanks Valdair. I just made a couple of copies of the text, and then motion blurred them. Along with an overlay

Scrambling to catch up before I lose momentum! I, er, may have used a little illustrator 😊
lyric dome
I followed @sterile bane today since text isn't my stong suit, it ended up looking quite good and it were actually super easy to do 😀
coral stone
Very nice @lyric dome! Try to add a background 😄
full topaz
Day 3 attempt, need to go work on day 2 now 😃
uncut kayak
2nd version, whaddaya think?
@full topaz I'm doing them out of order too 😃 I like your green, it's very reminiscent of old computer screens. I wonder... would it be better with the triangle nudged upwards a little? It's technically centered but the wide end of the triangle has more weight to it, so it might feel more centered if the text was lower, if that makes sense?
full topaz
@uncut kayak Thanks! I was thinking it didn't feel very balanced 😃 I like the colour scheme and font choice of your work and the effect of the sky coming out of the center has a nice movement to it.
pastel spade
@foggy orchid Nice! Give Warp Text a try on the Type on those soda cans to give it a more realistic contour.
potent sapphire
in between meetings tried Day 3
cinder vessel
Hi guys, here is my submission for day3 challenge, please correct me if wrong....I made a neon effect text as it was mentioned in the brief...but I don't see any neon submissions 🤔
dull tangle
This is my first time creating something like a logo totally from scratch. Appreciate any thoughts.
coral stone
Awesome @dull tangle, I loved it!
modest rock
Day behind on this one, but I enjoyed it.
quaint goblet
Day 2! I couldn't start yesterday, as I was very busy, so I catched up. I was originally going for an "underwater" look. but it turned more into ice sculptures, so now they are frozen :)
umbral obsidian
Hello! I haven't been able to submit day 1 or 2 yet but here is my design for day 3. I would love any suggestions or feedback! Thank you!
bleak fossil
@modest rock Cool design and colors! It seems like maybe giving the text a little more breathing room on the top and right side could help it feel a little less cramped. Either by making the text slightly slammer or expanding the canvas. I like what you did with the rings by the way!
@dull tangle Great work, cool to see people trying new things with these challenges! Currently the logo feels like it could have a bit more life being for a video game and all. Maybe something to punch up the contrast like brightening the “level up” text could be nice. Or even adding some of the glitch effects Kathleen went over to the big “L”. Just some thoughts, nice work!
@cinder vessel Nice, glad you joined us for this challenge! I think the neon was more in regards to the effect Kathleen did where she duplicated the text to get the blue and red offset effect which kind of reads as a neon/digital look. Which kind of fit in with the glitch effect she did afterwards. I think it’s cool to see how you got more of a traditional neon sign look with your text too though!
@potent sapphire Nice work! Kind of makes me think it could be an album cover, almost like it could be an album from the 80s. Nice use of composition and shapes.
potent sapphire
@bleak fossil thank you for your feedback! yes when I was done I realized that I totally did an 80's album cover lol
foggy orchid
Day 2! trying to catch up !
raven sage
Day 02
bleak fossil
@umbral obsidian Hah, very cool! Definitely makes me think of Stranger Things and I haven’t even seen the show yet, hah. I think it could be cool to make the background texture cover the entire background rather than be cut off how it is. It could also be cool to add a single glitch line closer to the top of the text as well, I feel like that might nicely balance it all out. Nice work!
@quaint goblet Nice work! I like the concept of this one. I think maybe using a multiply layer to darken down the sky a bit (to get a gradient like in the link below) could help give it less of a sunny feel and make it seem more cold. I also gave this suggestion to someone else, but if you duplicate your image and use something like a gaussian blur effect on it, then erase or mask out the center of the image it almost gives the edges a sort effect like you’re looking through ice.
Example link for the sky: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2049/2279541315_153dab9142_b.jpg
@uncut kayak Ooh, cool design, love all that texture in the sky. I think an easy adjustment to help the image could be to add that cool blue/purple tone to the building down below with a color or overlay layer to help it fit in better. Really nice job!
@full topaz Good job, glad you’re joining us for multiple challenges! I feel like the sort of neon effect Kathleen got by offsetting different colors of text could be really effective here. I think something very subtle could really add an extra layer of depth to this image by adding in a little more color around the text.
@foggy orchid Ooh, cool designs, almost hypnotic looking! Could be nice to see the text even a touch brighter and bigger to make it a bit of a stronger focal point. Either way looks great!
@raven sage Very cool sci fi feel to your design! My only suggestion would be that since it’s so contrast and texture heavy it could be nice to tone it down somewhere in the image so the read is a little less chaotic and the eye has somewhere to rest. Maybe darkening down the white of the buildings in the background a bit, and/or even the area behind the text. Perhaps even a subtle vignette. Really cool concept!
umbral obsidian
@bleak fossil Thank you for your feedback! I have attached two revised versions. They both have the texture covering the background but the difference is the line pattern.
@bleak fossil This is the version with the line pattern covering the full background.
sterile bane
Keep up the awesome work, everyone! It's super cool to see you using your own techniques or just exploring Photoshop while you make these challenges. I'm so proud 😩
slate quest
This is my Glitch work day 3!
chilly mango
@slate quest I love the overall feel of your glitchwork, but I'm finding it impossible to read. I think the font you chose combined with the glitch effect is making it difficult. Maybe consider a different font? Otherwise I love everything else
I just wanted to play around with the neon and the "glitched" effect. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out overall, but welcome feedback always!
echo dawn
@chilly mango very cool! i like how you played with depth!
chilly mango
@echo dawn Thanks! I really enjoy the feel of yours, too. It reminds me of a more retro kind of sports-y logo. Great colors!
raven sage
Day 02. Toned down the cityscape in the background, especially with the area behind the text box. Add a shooting star to add a little bit more direction.
echo dawn
@raven sage mmh! i like! you really used those blend modes well.
raven sage
Thank you!
sterile bane
@echo dawn looks great!

day 3 logo -- redo

@potent sapphire Oh, I like the use of color and space!

@chilly mango thank you! The font i used is the logo art of the Artist so i was drawing inspiration from that! Thank you for the feedback!
minor bloom
@primal zephyr Cool design! I like the way the image is bent and distorted, The "why don't you stay" is a little hard to read. Maybe adjust the color or shadow?
quaint goblet
Day 3! I followed a youtube tutorial, but made some additional tweaks :). If this were a real life game, it would follow a protagonist climbing up a building under the neon backdrop of a busy city at night.
hasty sundial
Old school lol
dull tangle
Thanks @bleak fossil ...appreciate the feedback. Will work on "taking it to the next level" based on your suggestions! 😃
minor bloom
@storm rock I dig the patterns and textures!
@austere imp Very cool, I like how you blended the images together. Maybe add some darkness to the top of the head to even out the dark shoulder? Great design!
short isle
I had to get the Final Fantasy in. Thoughts?
hmmm I think it looked better on the bigger screen
quaint goblet
i really like the glitch effect you used! looks like one of the old-fashioned 3-d movies
short isle
I was going for the hero to be coming out of the screen... which looked that way to me when in photoshop
minor bloom
@ivory finch Cool! I like the styling and the repetition, makes for a cool mood. It seems like it is a little flat, maybe play with shadow, glow or blend modes to add some depth? Nice work!
signal creek
@turbid junco I really like your design. Everything about it is great!
@uncut kayak sweet layout!
dull tangle
Per feedback, tried to add a little more movement and brightness to the text.
echo dawn
@short isle thats cool, but the castle looks kinda slapped in. weird perspective, and weird blending. the text looks amazing, and so does the background!
lilac iris
Day 3 Challenge - Type
peak warren
@lilac iris Nice work. Very much enjoy the dark (dead?) elements in the lighted signage. That's how it reads to me. Like a neon tube has gone bad.
I decided to make a bilingual Level Up, using the phrase 步步高陞
(bù bù gāo shēng). Literally step step up. I purposely have the glitchiness reduced as it goes up & right. Also, I picked the sidewards-shifted coloring by altering the hue +90/-90 degrees. That gave a strong contrast. I never realized the benefit of HSB until playing at contrast/complimentary coloring.
minor bloom
Day 1 - Game Night Revision. I changed resized the text and change the font and some colors. Thoughts?
peak warren
@minor bloom The lower version is improved. The coloring of the monochrome image is subtle, but I like it more. I'm not really sure why. Making the text larger helps a lot, too.
subtle nexus

@brazen barn wow nice effect on the gif! How do you manage to do that?
brazen barn
@frozen fox Thank you. It is a combination of After Effects and Photoshop.

This is an arced type extrusion I was going for. Used three "O"s and manipulated in 3D. Wrapped same around a cone to get the arc receding to a vanishing point. Still would like to get to reproducing the tour city destination sequence from "Bohemian Rhapsody"

Day 03 Critique anyone?
raven sage
Decided to make a quick change to give it a little more direction.

@raven sage I like that, looks like it’s on a 📺 now 😃
raven sage
@young karma Thank you. It felt like something was missing from the first iteration.
young karma
That’s the nice thing I’m finding with computer based design, there’s so much play there. Some of my best work I’ve made on procreate, the ability to undo mistakes easily, to manipulate things it’s very freeing

oh! i have done it at last
bitter beacon
young karma
@yeayou thanks for the feedback.
white crescent
@bitter beacon maybe make the game night text stand out a tiny bit more?
tropic dome
@bitter beacon use some contour light for it (on the top part, for all the letters)

i used soft brushes for glow above the text, seemed too overpowering any higher but I'll keep it in mind ty

Hey guys here's my day 3 challenge ... let me know what you think .....
night isle
just knocked this version up too
young karma
@tepid sierra it looks like the letters smashed in the ground. I like the illusion!
@eternal marsh i feel the speed
I made a better legible version of the day 3 challenge. What are your thoughts?
turbid junco
@signal creek Thank you, I really appreciate it!
@potent sapphire I love this! great job!!
warm agate
This is DAY_2 - Futuristic Postcard and I know I'm late.
peak warren
@night isle Nice! You could make it in monochrome for the perfect look. 😃
glacial path
Haha, it's never too late to submit @warm agate ! You have done a fantastic job finding a really vibrant image (or multiple, if you have combined them into one). The subtle triangles nicely integrate with the entire design aesthetic. The text however almost disappears. So to bring out the beautiful font you have chosen, I would either increase the size, opacity or color of the font 😃 Hope that helps ^^
young karma
@young karma I find your text hard to read. I would use a picture of breaking glass as a background to emphasize your text.
glossy trellis
My version of Level Up logo. What do you think guys?
young karma
this is my day 2 suggestion (spanish 😉 )
glacial path
@eternal marsh yes! I love that last version! The background harmonizes with the foreground and the 1UP looks fantastic 😄 !
young karma
@young karma thx maybe that’s an idea. I’ll give it s try
This is my day 3 project. Comments are welcome.
lone hare
@glossy trellis Nice job with the blocky letters and neon effect. 😃
potent sapphire
@glossy trellis really like the fact that you used a script font for the neon up
lone hare
@echo dawn Great touch with the dots. Nice work!
peak warren
@glossy trellis Love this. The contrast between the two sections is great. The neon text is excellent. I would put more room between the Level and the Up. Maybe move the 1st word a bit higher, and get it off the center line.
echo dawn
thanks a ton @lone hare! I dont consider the dots part of the logo, i just consider that a background.

@glossy trellis Let's see, what do we have here... aha! Awesome use of the scan lines, beautiful neon script and well executed glitch effect! Well done! But be careful with darkening bright objects (like stars). If you don't do it correctly, the whites tend to get grey and dull.
peak warren
@echo dawn Great!
glacial path
If you just reduce the opacity, notice how the bright star got really grey @glossy trellis
echo dawn
@glacial path nice tip, can you pin that for later reference?
glacial path
I can give you a link to the psd file if you like
peak warren
@glacial path Great advice on the stars. I can see that in curves in my head. Like you want to darken only the left side of the curve, and leave the brights unaffected. (I still see curves as D-log-E graphs from darkroom photography/zone-system, haha.)
eternal marsh
@glacial path thanks a lot! 😊
echo dawn
ooh, you know what would be nice? a tips and tricks channel! where people could share there most useful ps ideas! @glacial path
steep quartz
Ok so I've done the first challenge! still a couple more to do and then i'm caught up 👍
lone hare
@echo dawn Yes!
eternal marsh
@echo dawn yes! that would be awesome
gaunt hill
I just got a chance design my 2nd version.
echo dawn
i dm'd Samantha about it @lone hare @eternal marsh , lets see what happens
peak warren
@steep quartz Nice work. Interesting use of not-quite-PS4 branding. 😃
glacial path
I'd love to give some tips 😄
echo dawn
i think we all would
steep quartz
thank you @peak warren i'm studying a bit of branding at uni at the moment 😃 I actully based the design off somewhere local i go to they have alot of PS4's
echo dawn
@glacial path can you ask your admin buddies for that channel?

warm agate
@glacial path Thank you absolutely that help .🙏
glossy trellis
Thank you guys for amazing tips, so I have put more room between words and also edited layer with stars. What do you think?
lone hare
@glossy trellis Big improvement! Its more vibrant now.
night isle
@peak warren here's it in full on retro style
echo dawn
@glacial path do you have an assets folder on your server or is it some tool you made
like i have s.jmax.io
but thats just screenshots
@night isle 😍 thats soo cool!
potent sapphire
would love some feedback on my day 3 level up!
echo dawn
@potent sapphire looks great! but does it say up level?
glacial path
@echo dawn nah, just a folder on my server 😃
potent sapphire
@worldly geysernah I was hoping it would read level up if you read from the bottom up!
echo dawn
@potent sapphire people dont really do that
lone hare
@potent sapphire Loving the bold colors, and I like the fact you only glitched that one part. Nice work
echo dawn
maybe its just me but all i see is up level
potent sapphire
@worldly geysernah then its up level -- lol
glacial path
@night isle niiiice! Great idea with the apple computer 😄
echo dawn
@potent sapphire haha ok, it looka amazing tho
glacial path
Hey @gaunt hill Lovely idea with the abstract shapes but why are they all the same color 😮 ? If you add more colors, it would totally make it even more interesting 😃 Well done on the glitch effect and the noise in the background 😃
peak warren
@night isle That's excellent. I am old enough to remember those. And whenever I see the original Macintosh system font, Chicago, I laugh. (There is an Argentine steak place in downtown San Jose that uses the font on their signage.)
echo dawn
@peak warren Chicago lol
peak warren
@glossy trellis Great!
gaunt hill
@glacial path I tried Lava lamp effect but I ended up like this. I am pretty new to Photoshop. Learning now. Will try it on my own later. Thanks for your feedback.
echo dawn
I wonder what the stats are here for how long we've been shoppin'
glacial path
@steep quartz wow! I like everything about this 😃 Super cool font, nice layout and great use of the gaming related shapes! You're making it difficult for me to find something that you can improve 😛 So how about a cool overlay/background?
glacial path
I got it from https://stock.adobe.com/images/real-lens-flare-studio-shot-easy-to-add-as-filter-over-photos/164530626
steep quartz
@glacial path wow that looks way better! was that just an image you added to it?
echo dawn
ugh... money...
echo dawn
@glacial path did you pay for that photo just for a demo lol?
glacial path
no comment
steep quartz
thank you so much! didnt know how to do that before lol😅
echo dawn
haha thats 10/10 commitment
is it illegal to share that image to leanne? @glacial path
glacial path
I would love to just give you the file, but I can't.
echo dawn
why not
silver plank
👋
echo dawn
legality?
glacial path
because https://stock.adobe.com/license-terms says so
steep quartz
It's ok i've not use stock images before is it worth using?
glacial path
@steep quartz absolutely! But I wouldn't use it for private projects unless your really really really like that one particular image
However, if you have a client and you want to make sure that you have the rights to use and sell your work, stock is the way to go
cough removing watermarks is not legal cough. The preview images are also lower in resolution @echo dawn
echo dawn
I've never done it, and would never recommend it
nah but in all serious ive only used it on personal projects.
my work gives me a massive library of stock so it doesnt matter much
steep quartz
after seeing the difference it made though i'll certainly bare that in mind thank you 👍
peak warren
@glacial path I changed the curve in your example to make it more contrasty. (Is contrasty a word?) Now it looks like the one in levels.
echo dawn
@peak warren it is now!
glacial path
nicely done @peak warren 😄
peak warren
Thank you @echo dawn @glacial path . I love the curves tool. It's labor-intensive, though.
echo dawn
Intensive?
potent sapphire
didn't share my Day 1 challenge -- would love some feedback!
peak warren
@echo dawn I cannot use the curves tool quickly. I fiddle with it. When I want to adjust lots of photos in a hurry, I use the "auto" button in Lightroom. For example, when I take 250 photos in a morning, while walking in the park. Curves would kill me.
buoyant pendant
@potent sapphire I like your fresh take on the challenge. I think it's not easy to do your own thing and keep within the spirit of these, and following the example too closely makes it look like a copy of what everyone else is doing, so nice job!
glacial path
@peak warren did you know about this scrub tool? when enabled, you can clickon the canvas once and then drag up or down to adjust the brightness of the particular color
peak warren
@echo dawn I am sure there is some way to make my own version of "auto" levels, with an action or something. But I am not there yet. (I say this because LR's auto feature undoes purposely contrasty images I take, assuming the excessive blacks are a mistake.)
glacial path
Also, try ALT/OPT-clicking on the Auto button in the curves panel to get more options! Inside that dialog box, you can try out 4 different algorithms
peak warren
@glacial path NO! Thank you so much.
echo dawn
@peak warren makes sense, I would never strictly edit a photo in photoshop, I prefer Lightroom any day unless I’m adding, taking out, or changing something
potent sapphire
@buoyant pendant thanks!
peak warren
Thanks for both comments, @glacial path. I need to find a "every ALT, every CTRL, every SHIFT" version of the UI. I am sure there is a guide somewhere. Task for later today. :)))))
umbral obsidian
@sterile bane I made some revisions on my level up logo based on @bleak fossil recommendations. Which version do you think is better?
@sterile bane @bleak fossil This one has the line patten covering the whole background.
steep quartz
ok managed to use pexels what do you think to this?
buoyant pendant
Not sure if the screen adds anything to this, but here's my take on the day 3 challenge
potent sapphire
@umbral obsidian I really like how you used the glitchy effect to look like a water rippled effect -- makes it looks like it is floating on water
echo dawn
@steep quartz that’s really good! Maybe add some sparkles.
buoyant pendant
@umbral obsidian I think the second one looks more like it's on a screen
echo dawn
@buoyant pendant very nice!
latent lion
@young karma WORTHY Logo Design🤓
umbral obsidian
@potent sapphire Thank you! I was trying to go for a mysterious look and wanted the bottom portion of the logo to look like ripples in the water. I posted my original one on Behance but I'm not sure if I like the water look or the screen look between version 2 and 3. What do you think?
potent sapphire
@umbral obsidian I actually liked the water rippled effect -- it was different
umbral obsidian
@buoyant pendant I could see that as well, the texture is water but I applied the line pattern like @sterile bane did in her tutorial.
young karma
well its a start...
glacial path
@young karma a fantastic start 😮
young karma
@glacial path thank you tim:)
Looks like I’m going to be doing two challenges in a day again today 🙄
glacial path
you can do it! go @young karma go!
peak warren
@umbral obsidian ❤ That's outstanding. Nice Stranger Things vibe, too.

Hello everyone, here is my day 2 Blending Challenge
humble blade
Hey guys, what y'all think?
latent lion
+@tepid sierra liked juxtaposition of the colors; reuse in a Halloween theme project+@young karma liked the simplicity and effectiveness ?"After The Eggs"? My cellphone translator did not tell me. Have to try it on my android phone; Still liked the original; Some of the best things on here are when we wander from the original project guidelines. It's what being creative is about. Explore! @potent sapphire left-to-right right-to-left up-to-down down-to-up it's all semantics back inside your head there are relationships being made with the conception of the words "UP" and "LEVEL" What I liked was the transparency into the inside of the letters "U" and "P" Dimensions well added
young karma
@latent lion open the eyes 😉 thanks for the feedback! being creative is one the bests things!

So a little late but would love some feedback
