Very nice @rocky ferry

Yay! Thanks @maiden aurora

Fortunately, I don't have too many of these clients. Had work to complete today, but fun night catching up on the challenge.
Why I never have any money. Yes, I am a font whore.

@old barn Combining memes, quite daring 😄 Nice work! I’ve definitely had to try and get a organized naming system going for my own sanity.
@maiden aurora Nice job, hah. Adobe is going to corner the meme market.
@dim brook Hah, nice work Ceci!
@light nebula Looks good, the musical notes/bars seem to fit quite well with the rest of the image. Nice work on the Hawaii image as well, cool use of saturation. If you really wanted to make it pop (which is often what I think of with this type of image) it could be cool to add some color inside the text, maybe a vibrant warm color like orange. Would definitely give the image a different feel depending on what you’re going for.
@dense tinsel Very cool, nice to see you trying out all the different techniques, definitely good practice to get them down.
@zenith rapids Hah, nice work! Did you use a hard edge eraser on the blur image? I think you could get a more natural effect with a soft round eraser brush. Have the original image, duplicate it and blur it, then erase or mask out the center of the blurred image with a soft brush. Nice work on the framing challenge as well!
@strange musk Ooh, that’s an intense meme 😮 Hah, nice work, glad you joined us for this one. Great work on the framing challenge as well, really great color contrast and the font fits the image nicely!
@kindred kernel Nice work! Cute pup. #wholesomememes
@nocturne radish Oh man, hah, as someone who haaaates sunburns this one makes me cringe. Nice work Steve!
@umbral obsidian Nice work! The images all seem to have a certain level of continuity in their lighting and quality that makes them work well together too.
@timid pasture Looks good, hah, took me a second to spot Jar Jar back there. If you wanted to take it even further it could be cool to blur him ever so slightly, and add a subtle noise filter over him to make him match the look and quality of the rest of the crowd. Beyond that you could even lower his contrast or darken down his highlights slightly to make him appear less like he’s in sunlight lighting. Just some idea!
@fallow bough Nice work Ken, glad to see you tackling both these challenges! I like the blur effect you added on the outside edge of the circle frame. Makes me think of the water washing up on the shore. Keep it up!
@spare path Hah, nice work! Glad you’re enjoying them, it’s great to see people keeping up with all the challenges!
@zealous sail Awesome job, really like how you kept the frame full of the starry sky, very cool look. Also really like the offset/zoomed in center part of the image, great effect!
@main talon Nice work! Kind of a random suggestion, but it could be cool (might be hard if this is uncropped image) to put the first text in the top left. Might give it a nice flow with the first text leading the eye down past the pitcher into the final text. Either way glad you joined us for this challenge!
@gentle thistle Hah, well done. A meme about not wanting to do memes… I feel like there’s some deep meaning in there somewhere. Nice work!
@gilded bloom Can relate…. Hah, great job!
@craggy wind Haha, nice work, I like it. Also nice subtle use of having his tongue overlapping the text!
@waxen spindle I really like your use of the blur, fits the image nicely. Nice work! A small suggestion, but it seems like there’s an odd bit of orange coloration on the background right near the bottom left part of the head/hair that seems out of place. Could be nice to edit that out if it’s connected to the top head layer.
@hardy kayak See, I’m out here learning about both Photoshop AND new memes XD Nice work Mars!
@young karma I like the way you matched the text color with the rest of the image, definitely gives it a cool look. The design of the top image with the monkey even looks like it could be in some kids animal magazine or something. Might be nice to add a vignette to it to pull that focus from the blur into the middle even more. Nice work!
@pearl granite But isn’t that the secret reason anyone really learns Photoshop? Hah, nice job 😄
umbral obsidian
@bleak fossil Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback! 😀
timid pasture
@bleak fossil Thanks, Sam! Heh.... Now I need to go find that original PSD where I put jar jar in there... LOL - which gives me another idea..... 😆
bleak fossil
@loud dawn Hah, nice work! First usage of that meme I’ve seen so far. I feel like this one speaks to me on a deep level.
@terse vessel Haha, perfect. When Adobe fully goes after the meme maker demographic.
@carmine musk Lol, I feel like I have this interaction with Photoshop on the daily. Well done!
@acoustic rune Hah, perfect use of that kind of nice. Nice work Lyyle!
@undone sapphire Hah, nice job, good to see people running with these and doing more than one too!
@rocky ferry Very cool, I like how you varied up the frames and how it all draws the focus into the center, nice work! Love the text style and color too. Could even be nice to brighten the text up just a smidge, but not so much that you lose that nice sand color.
@tender field Hah, can relate. “What can I get for $10?” Nice work!
@proud isle Haha, I like when we get these art related memes thrown in. Luckily I have 1 or 2 major stages of approval with clients that helps avoid that. Also really like how you integrated the fonts into the background and matched the colors on the second image!
terse vessel
@bleak fossil Thanks. The funny thing is that a meme can be made in Preview with Mojave Lol.
@timid pasture So true
bleak fossil
Hah, I've definitely had to start organizing and naming my files a certain way or the struggle is all too real.
timid pasture
I keep trying to do that, but I'm a loooong way from getting it done!
bleak fossil
I start with making a folder for each year. Then categorizing it based on client work, sketches, personal work, etc. And then naming the files as logically as I can. I've also tried to get the same organization for my layers in Photoshop. Helps save a lot of stress XD
@main talon I like the subtle changes in color you used for the background, really makes the 3 frames pop nicely while still keeping the whole palette very calm. Nice job!
timid pasture
Yeah, I organize all my financial stuff that way - makes a lot of sense to get all my graphics / photography set up the same way... Quite the project, but it keeps me off the streets..LOL
hardy kayak
@bleak fossil Thank you for your feedback! Glad I was able to somehow make it funny ! ha

thanks @bleak fossil !

I just completed the Day 1 challenge...I don't have any cool looking fonts so I think this version without text was my best one 😁
This was my first attempt with the gradient and font. I don't love it but hey, I'm a beginner!

@undone herald i love the coloooorrrs, in love

@undone herald So Dope!!
@undone herald i dont mean to nitpick lol but can you post a version where all three circles are identical? I mean i could do it for myself but i really love what you've done!! Want to keep it in my desktop bckground rotation ;))
Coming up with memes is not a strength of mine so i guess this comes from a place of vulnerable honesty lmaoooo
Just you wait and see though....I'll be memelord one day😈
blazing lily
Not the choices I'd have made if I had more time to plan, but it's good to be reminded that I can sneak in a meme in the middle of a busy workday.

BACKSTORY:
In the mid 1960s with malls rising, small town shopping districts were spiralling toward Oblivion. Dad desperate to compete with "progress" would acquire trendy merchandise to sell in his "Sports and Jive since '45" Stapleton shop. A wouldn't sell in a million years, didn't sell, red Nehru outer jacket became my burden to shoulder. Discomfortably garbed and hastening to first class on a flurrying December morning an unkind "Queer" was hurled in my direction. Olden rule: Straights mustn't wear red. This dilemma couldn't be explained to impoverished parents proud at provisioning a "stylish" warm coat. From then on, no matter the weather, when leaving home I'd don it, only later, nearing Curtis High School, removing it, turning the inner black lining outward, and while shivering in shirtsleeves, tucked the hidden bundle under my arm. Time has passed, and well, there's only one thing to declare:
"THE RED COATS ARE COMING!"

Second Meme Day Second
agile ruin
@haughty violet so true! I would add the full stop "." after the P since you use it with the "R"&"I" 😊
silk wolf
agile ruin
@undone herald I am absolutely charmed buy your first Day 1 submission. For the second exercise- that includes gradient and font- I would try the gradient in white to achieve more contrast! If you edit it, give me a shout will be nice to see the development 😊
silk wolf
Hey. I'm new here. Can any one guide me on this whole app? I just joined due to the PS daily creative challenge.
west nest
A GIF to show my process for day 1. 🙂
Had so much fun doing the memes.
Why I take part in the Photoshop challenges.
agile ruin
hi @silk wolf start from the #👋community-intros for more info and if you are unsure just pop questions on #❓ask-a-question 😃 well done on your day 2 submission!
silk wolf
Hi @agile ruin . Thank you, I'll do that. Just one thing, do we put our submissions anywhere else other than behance or that's just it ?
agile ruin
@west nest love the gif! I really appreciate to see the work development. Thank you for submitting it. Love the Meme also.I would only suggest to increase the leading (Window menu, Character panel) on the text for the second meme. if you edit, see how you feel and give me a shout 😊 Nice use of Adobe Stock! well done 👍
@silk wolf Behance and of course here for feedback or questions on #❓ask-a-question . You can share it on any of your social media and use #AdobeLive 😊 I think @unkempt iron shared his on the gram yesterday!
@jolly pilot ahah! That’s usually me when I deliver my final design. so cool. 😎 well done 👍
eternal marsh
does the pun makes sense? or should I just leave it with "are you kidding me?"
agile ruin
Hi @eternal marsh thank you for submitting on Day 2 😊 ! It already makes sense and I think you can push it even more by using the picture of a baby cat. If you do, and have enough negative space like in this picture, you can break "Are You "on the top and kitten me on the bottom to play with suspense and isolate the pun 🥁 Check Adobe Stock for kitten images there are so many..I have literally searched for "silly kitten" more than once 😝
@full topaz more cats please! bring it on 😀 As cat owner I completely clap 👏 on all your Meme. If I get up for a glass of water you might get feedback by my Frida-The-Cat ! awesome work!

Hey Everyone - From Cape Town South Africa - Happy Learning all!!

Bit late, but day 1 daily challenge 😃
finite chasm
Hello, first time following these challenges, looking forward to learning a thing or two
agile ruin
Welcome to the challenge @wild carbon ! Awesome way to create negative space with the black strips 😃 I don't want to take more time from your deadlines 😂 but I would have a play with the text Kerning (Window menu, Character panel) If you do edit it give me a shout, would love to see it! also is very cool that you lefty the Ps logo in colour! well done 👍
full topaz
@agile ruin Thank you, the roast chicken struggle is real .......and when we had visitors too!
agile ruin
@woven grove it's never too late..unless it's later than April 15th 😊 well done on your submission 👍
young karma
Here we are my challenge #1. I'm here in order to receive your useful feedbacks!🤗
agile ruin
@full topaz oh gosh!!! ahahah I can only imagine.. I suffer from cat-attacks when the salmon is on the table
wild carbon
@agile ruin Thanks! Will see if I can get round to it later - there is a hidden image in the left eye - you see it?
eternal marsh
@agile ruin Thanks for the feedback! I will try splitting the text, that sounds like a good idea to make the pun stand out more! Although I think I might keep the picture, since its my sisters cat 😄
full topaz
@agile ruin Frida-The-Cat has good taste 😃
agile ruin
@young karma Ciao! Sara you have done a really great job. 👏 Considerate use of type, great colour contrast, and beautiful image to start with. It really conveys the "freedom" mood. If I really have to be picky I would move the gradient slightly up so it doesn't compete with the subheading. But it is a minor detail. If you do make any edits give me a shout I would love to see the development. 😊
@eternal marsh I totally understand 💗! let me know if you make any changes to the text 😃
@wild carbon I have just seen it ! Love easter eggs 😃
@young karma Welcome to the challenge and thank you for submitting your work! I hope is not one of those days.. lol your meme looks very cool 😎
eternal marsh
@agile ruin I cropped it a bit and splitted the text. Not sure though if I should move the text to the middle instead of having it on the right side
latent lion
PS_DCC DAY 2 MEME 3
agile ruin
@latent lion you got me there ! looking good I would only align all text to the middle of the image. well thought 👍
void oriole
Hey guys, here is my first work from yesterday, .so excited
😀 https://www.behance.net/gallery/78440519/Day_1
agile ruin
@eternal marsh Great stuff you are already working on it 😊 if you want to centre "Are you" don't crop the image and use the top negative space on the top. You can even have a black rectangle on top and bottom for the text. If you keep it as it is, just make the text on the top bigger so it doesn’t float around! I want to see what you do with it! tag me on your edits please. The text on the bottom centred looks great 👍
eternal marsh
awesome, thanks so much @agile ruin ! Added some black rectangles for the text now and centred it
agile ruin
@eternal marsh And you nailed it! looks great 👍 I am glad the feedback was useful
winged vault
@mighty vessel Thanks for the recommendation, what types of font, would you recommend ? a calligraph one ? or more a modern like ?
mighty vessel
can you upload your design again because i really can't remmember it 😅
mighty vessel
@winged vault it would be better if you used a modern font like the one in the project cover photo and try making the text smaller
winged vault
I will revise it ! thanks
eternal marsh
i can't stop making makes @crystal aurora you created a monster haha
but I guess I'm done for now, if anyone wants to leave some feedback, I'll appreciate it 😃 https://www.behance.net/gallery/78423447/PS-DCC-April-2019

hello everyone. feel like it is still relevant.
maiden aurora
@loud zephyr Beautiful work!
main talon
@bleak fossil better? or is the other player distracting?
tropic dome
@main talon just crop the player vertically and align the top and bottom text
bleak fossil
Ahh, I see what you mean @main talon It does draw the eye a bit. Maybe playing around with a vignette, slightly blurring the background behind the player, or lowering the contrast behind the player somehow could solve that? Just some ideas.
steady meteor
oh my!
cerulean bay
@main talon i had die laughing, if you had replaced "You throw like a girl" with "you throw like a Posse" -if you can get me 😄

final version for now.
mighty vessel
@primal zephyr nice i see that you like wolves so mush 😄
mighty vessel
i saw it 😂
primal zephyr
Maned wolves, even if in their name, are not considered wolves!
And to add, I just decided to make this whole challenge Maned Wolf Themed and just use the same picture in every one. I mean, it had a Meme day, so I kinda have to, haha. @mighty vessel
mighty vessel
thats a cool idea 😀
cerulean bay
funfact: this image is blocked by bot if i try to upload in color
peak warren
@primal zephyr I like how the radial gradient on the maned wolf BG lines up well with the text.
primal zephyr
thank you.
peak warren
@cerulean bay send the original to @uncut ginkgo. He should be able to debug why.
uncut ginkgo
image scanning is done on Discord's internal system -- so it must be something they don't like 😦
cerulean bay
@uncut ginkgo ok. so no need sending you the original?
uncut ginkgo
correct ^ it was flagged by Discord's filter which I do not have control over 😃
but sorry about that!
peak warren
If you are really curious: reverse image search on Google, on the original, and see what nefarious memes were created with it.
sterile bane
@latent lion i bet you looked super stylish in your red jacket!
@terse vessel your PS splash screen meme is amazing hahahaha
peak warren
@gusty nacelle I like your image. Love the use of Tagalog. (Thank you Google, I didn't know that word, or even which language.) The "K" in your font looks like an R with a haircut, though.

@cerulean bay TBH, I like the monochrome better. Somehow, mad scientists look better to me in B&W. Maybe because of old horror films.

This time it is impossible for me to follow the live stream, so I worked on day 2. After doing 4 memes, I found out that I changed the size in between, so I could not go back to the group meme 1, 2 nor 3 :), have to do it over again. But this was my meme 4
Let's challenge! 😉

Day 3 - version 2 (with handles)
blissful plume
@gusty nacelle not sure if anyone responded or helped you but I realized to make frames after the first one you have to start your ‘click and drag’ with the frame tool over the base locked layer.
Then presss spacebar to drag the box you’ve made to your desired location.
And finally ctrl+T to adjust it to however you would like.
young karma
I have add info.....ups!
spare sail
blissful plume
@spare sail First thought in my head: Very Cool!
Second word in my head: Groovy.
Third idea in my head : maybe increase the stroke around your main heading by a pixel or two just so it’s just a bit more stronger against such a strong background.
Just my thoughts 🤗
young karma
hi everyone, i'm a new french guy ( so, sorry for my english).
i don't have the font so i create an image of it !
i like the banner very simple

@young karma nice idea. But the J and G are un petit peut difficile to understand.

raven meadow
This is my Version1
blissful plume
The tag line bothers me a just a bit. The spacing between the letters with that font idk doesn’t seem necessary. I think you’ve tried to match it your handles but I don’t think you have to. @dim brook
@pliant stone awesome! Truly bold
@raven meadow woah. Love the colors and aesthetic
blazing quail
this was a good exercise

I’m saving your guys’ banners for inspiration

Hubby is in the League Partner Program...so I figured I would make a new header for his Twitter page.

@raven meadow woooah! Super cool! I really like the shapes in the corner. I would change the red to another color. maybe magenta?
mighty vessel
and thats my design I tried to match it with my logo style and pattern hope you like it
coral stone
@pliant stone amazing!
blissful plume
@light nebula I liked this font on the one you posted with your handle earlier but if this is for your photography try something a little more serious to convey more a sense of professionalism?
mighty vessel
thats my full challenge project too if you want to see it
https://www.behance.net/gallery/78403897/Photoshop-Daily-Creative-Challenge-1
young karma
@light nebula hey! i would recommend getting some more spacing between the letters to help with the seond layer of text not being covered
coral stone
Awesome work @mighty vessel
mighty vessel
@coral stone thanks 😄
blissful plume
@mighty vessel I’ve seen you page a lot of cool stuff! Love your logo design. For this I felt your logo on the welcome feels a bit cluttered maybe the bottom left is a good space for it or somehow make it more prominent with a very subtle contrasted background?
Just so everyone knows I’m not more experienced then anyone here. It’s just my gut reaction to a visual piece as a consumer haha
mighty vessel
@blissful plume thanks i think i liked to merge my logo with the welcome to make it kinda funny but i will try your idea
it's ok you shouldn't be a super amazing designer to give feedback just say what u think 😀
blissful plume
@mighty vessel I really like the way you put it over the welcome because it definitely centers the eye to your logo
@twilit glade maybe all you need is a very soft brushed, black circle with very low opacity so it’s not noticeable but just enough to differentiate the logo from the bg
mighty vessel
@blissful plume nice idea i will try it 😄

@blissful plume Thanks for the feedback, I'll make some changes right now xd

New here. Didn't register in time for today's challenge, but have been listening to this weeks shows all afternoon and got inspired! I took some liberties and didn't really follow @jolly quest 's tutorial, but did try out the stroke effect. Been wanting to start putting myself out there, and not be creatively trapped by my job like I've been the last couple years... Let me know what you think!

@warm pendant Nice!!
you don't have to do exactly what I do! This is awesome just to see how you incorporate the concepts into your own work!

@midnight frigate Looks good! The blue circle in the middle is definitely the most dominant. Maybe bring a little more focus to the text by making the blue drop shadow/stroke a little darker or more bold? Or perhaps even darkening the background slightly could make the text pop a bit more. Nice work! Edit: I really like the alternate version, the blue works well for the text!
@wispy compass Very cool! I like the style you have with this one. It could be nice to make the Behance/Instagram/Youtube text a little more readable by giving it a color/value that contrasts against the background a little more.
@ember cairn Great work, really believable texture on the jersey! One small nitpick that may be a hassle to do would be to darken down the holes in the lettering so they’re still black like the rest of them. Really nice job on this!

@gritty lichen ooh looks as tho the water flowing is cartoony or like its been illustrated. did you do that somehow or is it just the image?
@ember cairn very cool effects on the lettering! did you do that all yourself with the brush tool?
@blissful plume YAYY!
bleak fossil
@robust path You are all meme making machines now. Nice job Kell! Nice use of frames on your Day 1 challenge as well!
Day 3 looks good! It could be nice to maybe tone down the saturation of the blue background? Could be a good way to really draw focus to the pink text.
@tender field I like your use of different text sizes and a simple color scheme. Reads well! Nice work Telitha.
@gritty lichen Ooh, very cool! Nice use of the frames, it almost looks like an abstract painting at first glance.
@warm oasis Nice work, very cool mood to this one! My only suggestion might be to increase the contrast in the “A.Varo Design” text. Currently the small yellow text and the skin tone of the icon on the left are the greatest source of contrast due to their value and color. Could be nice to change the main text to a color or value that contrasts more. Looks good!
@limber birch Looking good Mare! It could be nice to see the sort of yellow tone in the main text brightened up a bit. Maybe something as bright as, or a little brighter than the "social_handle" text. Could give the whole banner a nice pop.
@blissful plume Great variety! It’s always cool to see the different ideas people go through while designing. It’s between #1 and #3 for me. I think #3’s text fits the moody look of the background a bit more.
@dapper basin Nice job, good work at incorporating different techniques we’ve talked about! One suggestion might to be to limit your color palette to 2-3 main colors. Sometimes too many different colors can seem less cohesive. Just a thought!
Edit: I saw your challenges for Day 1 and 2, great work on all of these, glad to see you doing multiple images for some of the challenges as well.
@molten ether Nice work, looks solid! I think it might be nice to brighten the main text ever so slightly. Currently the whole image seems a little dim, but that could give it a nice punch.
@warm pendant Welcome on in! Glad you joined us. Keep in mind you're always free too do previous day's challenges and post them here for feedback if you wish. Looks good! Size wise the state outline is currently the biggest element, it could possibly look nice to scale that down, and scale up your website text a bit. Could provide for a bit more of a solid visual hierarchy. Nice job!
@mild karma Nice work David! Glad you're enjoying them, always great to see what everyone is coming up with.
@main talon Nice job Shanny, love the theme! Right now all the values in the image seem kind of in the mid tone range, which can sometimes make the image appear almost a bit dark. Could be cool to increase the contrast by either lightening up the background so the text pops, or maybe choosing a brighter color for the main text, or even a brighter color for the outline around the main text. Just some possible ideas.
@dim brook Looks great Ceci, love what you did with the image behind the text. I think it could be nice to brighten up that tan color you have on some of the text and as a drop shadow behind the main text, might separate everything from the background a bit more in a nice way. Keep it up!
@carmine musk I like the amount of noise! I think it definitely fits the feel you seem to be going for. Might be nice to increase the size of the main text slightly though?
@night isle Very cool texture on this one, great job! Might be nice to brighten up the @ mazvkaz text at the bottom to almost match the value of the top text a bit more. Could give it a nice cohesive look. Nice work!
@rocky ferry Very nice, I really like the feel of this one. My only suggestion would maybe be darkening down the text or lighting up the background, just so that they contrast a little more.

playing with the Day 3 assignment. I tried to be more minimal than usual. A play on "my" brand. Font not exactly correct, but I didn't want to buy Engravers Gothic. I'll put this on my Twitter in a bit.
I just realized I left the 53 px buffers as visible.

Here is my Day 3 Twitter Banner. Any thoughts before it is uploaded to my profile would be appreciated. 😎
peak warren
@robust plank That face! What a great photo. Did you use lowercase letters on purpose? Traditional memes are all uppercase. Also, the brightness on her fingers at the bottom of the frame makes the text hard to read. You might want to make an adjustment layer to darken it, with a gradient on the mask. (So it only darkens towards the bottom)

peak warren
@robust plank You are doing great for first timer. Also: this is a fantastic group for learning.
@tepid sierra Those are good memes, but ewww, creepy botox images. on the second one, her bangs are just at the edge of the frame. Maybe put them completely out of the frame, or a little bit more into the frame, so they don't lie right at the edge. I like everything else, a lot.
@full topaz Nice work. The background texture works well for me. On the capital W in Willow, it looks like you have weird kerning. Did you adjust that intentionally, or is it in the font? Similar on the T~r spacing in Tree. The W is more distracting, though.
full topaz
@peak warren Thanks, now you say it, I see it, it must be the font. Is it possible to change kerning between just 2 letters?
blissful plume
@young karma beautiful stuff dude!!
@full topaz surely she’ll go on to do great things 👍🏽 👍🏽
peak warren
@full topaz I think so. (goes to PS to look)...YES. You can. Open the character properties and adjust the one labeled VA with an arrow underneath. That is described as "tracking between characters" or something like. You should select only those two characters when doing this, and it will adjust their spacing, leaving the other characters at default.
for @full topaz
this adjusted just the "t~e" spacing in "jestem" on line 3
full topaz
@peak warren Cool Thanks ! (changes photoshop file away from day nine of last challenge to attempt to fix day 3 of this..............)

You are welcome
BTW, what font is this? I suggest finding an Adobe Fonts replacement with better kerning.
Not exactly the same kind of font, but Rieven Uncial is similar, @full topaz

@narrow cedar You should use a bold font, pretty hard to read the meme

HI @narrow cedar and @winged vault I think @narrow cedar could do just by adjusting the kerning 😊
winged vault
The thin black stroke make it less readable

@steep fractal I think you did a great job and I love the crazy equation background! I would soften (reduce transparency) of the white gradient to improve legibility 😊 give me a shout if you make some changes!

😊 Hi @narrow cedar I had a look on your Behance page. Great work the background is so beautiful I would only play with the bottom right text. I think it will look very neat if you just leave the Behance logo exactly as you did and simply place next to it "/Shambhy" If you edit it le me know i really would like to see your development! well done for submitting everyday challenge 😊

@agile ruin Yeah I do feel it to be much neat and clean now
@agile ruin So I tried chaning font on this

Can't wait for tomorrow's challenge! 🤩
agile ruin
Where are you from @silk wolf ? It's already tomorrow where I am at 😂
yes! @narrow cedar I am glad you feel better with it I think you nailed Day3. For Day 2 the font with no stroke looks so much better. I would still play in reducing the kerning if you have time (Window menu, Character panel )
finite chasm
Ok have centered the text and cropped the image to make the empty space even all around. Im fairly happy 😃

@agile ruin lovely knowing you 😄

@narrow cedar well done! 👌 kerning improved legibility what you think? If you want to use a different colour make sure you use one in contrast. I would pick the colour of the baby beautiful eyes. Love the picture you chose btw! 😍

Thanks, I learnt kerning, which was very new to me and I so loved experimenting with it

@silk wolf which font did you use fo Focus?
@finite chasm Looks very well made! Professional look

agile ruin
@blissful plume beautiful background! If you have time play with different palettes for the text bottom layers 😊 (I am referring to your first -blue- submission )
young karma
I made the modifications according to @crystal aurora advice. there seems to be a problem blem with the size of my canvas. Each time I save a jpg or png version the canvas is twice the size of the banner. What can this be. When I check the H / W of the artboard it is still the same a regular twitter banner size. IJustDontGetIt. Now the background is White before it was transparent
agile ruin
@young karma Thank you for submitting! the photo is beautiful! Such a mesmerizing point of view 😊 If you want to try some variations I would give some margin between the inner rectangle and text on the bottom left corner. Also I would keep the same gradient under the main text the use of different font already sets hierarchy 😃 let me know if you try any variation I would love to see the developments!
young karma
@agile ruin thank's a lot!☺ I Will try and post It!
agile ruin
@ lani sometimes when savings it takes the size of the background image . Try to ungroup the art-board by right clicking on the image layer.
@young karma I look forward to it!
@narrow cedar I am glad the feedback was helpful! well done for keep editing and sharing! Keep your hard work up! 😀

thank you for catching up 😄 @left nebula A+ Image and nice font. I like that the caption has the same color as the background. I would lower the top caption a bit - so it's right in the center between both edges 😃
@timber orchid nicely done! Good use of the texture in the backgound. Be careful with the Background though, I believe the book is overlapping the text:
And I would ever so slightly increase the opacity of the book. Right now it is very easy to miss 😃
young karma
@agile ruin thank you for the advice. I will try this as soon as possible. Is it a default setting or is it good practice to ungroup as a rule ? I didn’t group any layer ! It is also the forst time i have this problem! Thx

@glacial path hmm right.. the space between T and W does look off in comparison to the rest of the letters. Now I know what kerning is! I'll surly look into it. Thanks alot !! 😄
tepid ruin
@undone herald nice! that's good to know...the type felt a bit risky. Wasn't sure if it was too over the top so it's good to know that you like it!
agile ruin
@young karma I am glad it worked and you sorted it out! well done! 👌
glacial path
Hey @eternal marsh , did you use inside, outside or center stroke?
magic rampart
Hi, little late with yesterdays challenge, but here goes
glacial path
@tepid ruin that's a fascinating font you've got there! very experimental (the H almost looks like an X). It also reminds me of the Bauhaus style - the bold colors. To be 100% bauhaus, you're just missing a dark blue 😮
@tepid ruin since it's very abstract, I would totally go for just one "?" instead of ?!? 😉
@finite chasm awesome! I hope your next submissions will be as good as this one 😁 Well done on the 3d effect with the stroke and great choice of colors! Too bad the sky doesn't have any clouds in it. it would make for a stunning texture in the frame
finite chasm
Thanks @glacial path next time I'm back there will try order some clouds 😄
glacial path
@finite chasm hey, you own a copy of Photoshop 😉
tepid ruin
@glacial path ahh yes...one "?" might provide better contrast with the bold font. Also, I was thinking to add a blue in there! haha
glacial path
@tepid ruin ha! nice ^^
if you're uploading an updated version, feel free to ping me @glacial path
Hi @magic rampart ! Thank you for submitting your work. The backckground image is super cool! Here are some things you could improve: If you know how to remove an object in Photoshop (press j and paint over it), I would remove the post in the center
tepid ruin
@glacial path will do!
glacial path
@magic rampart also you might want to use a different shade of red - right now it is clashing with the blue-ish purple background. Finally, I would get rid of the "@" symbol - I think it just distracts from your cool name 😃 - That's about it! Let me know what you think 🙂
tepid ruin
@glacial path here's the next iteration with just one "?"
glacial path
yes. this is better 😄
tepid ruin
and here's one with a blue frame. I feel like it might be a bit too tight and constricting though. Thoughts?
glacial path
ooooh! I like this one even more. Yeah, I feel like you could add more white space around the border. you could even increase the width of the stroke - Bauhaus style 😛
tepid ruin
mmm yes. maybe i can decrease font size to add more white space then increase the stroke. let me play with that real quick...
magic rampart
@glacial path Thanks for your comments, especially about my name :). What do you think about this version? I picked a colour from the storm hoping it wouldn't clash.
young karma
@agile ruin ☺️
glacial path
@magic rampart fantastic!
tepid ruin
@glacial path
glacial path
@magic rampart by the way: never be afraid to just use white. sometimes it is the best option - however in this case, the blue-ish purple works perfectly 😃

Hi @haughty violet thanks for submitting! Don't worry you can always catch up with all challenges until the 15th. 😊 Very lovely texture in use there. If you want to have a play with it, try to increase transparency under the bottom details to improve legibility. If you do make any variation give me a shout I would love to see the development 😎
latent lion
@robust path The Day 1 diagonal cut on the strip behind "WINTER IS HERE" could extend fully across and a masked wolf and the promontory it's standing above could be placed above the layers. The diagonal detracts from the whole. The texture on the Day 3 reminded me of a day-glo pink cellulose kitchen sponge.
@robust plank Maybe going a little more royal blue to make the "JELLY FISH" pop and less submerged. If you have time try another Day 3.
@full topaz There's hope for the future. Bannerful work. Encourage your darling. Day 3 Although I admire the more contemporary background, a marbling craft pattern might be more evocative of traditional bookbinding.
@tepid sierra See if you can find strawberry leaves/vine to tie things together, although the maple(?) leaves work fine. Day 2 LOLed, but guiltily embarrassed, yet some people do that to themselves. 2nd meme LOLed again. Badme.
@finite chasm Silly me. What's a cricket pitch? What works and doesn't work: your Queenstown Day 1 framing acceptibly cuts out a tree trunk as @BrownIt Day 1 framing does with a wedding dress, to be contrasted with @woven grove Day 1 framing's subconsciously disturbing vivisection of a human form. Animate versus inanimate.
@grim mantle On Day 3 there's a little gap at the back of the extrusion between the L and E. If you extend the extrusion farther and use dual-point light sources allowing shadow effect to break up the bottom aspect might add visual interest.
@robust vector Sooo Fractal!
these Day 4 previews - can't wait

@mighty vessel Love that gradient! I can definitely see your creation as a logo . Amazing stuff 💯
Great @keen python ! thank you for submitting your work . the gradient works very nicely with the image you used. If you have time to play with it, I would try to use the font on lower case to improve legibility or maybe make it bigger if you are going for a full display effect? Let me now how you feel if you make any changes and share the variations! 😊
@haughty violet amazing. if you want tag me in to it so I can review it when I am online next on "my tomorrow" (GMT) 😁

@eternal marsh I see! I would advise you to use the outside stroke or otherwise it can possibly cover op the letter entirely, when the font is particularly thin

@agile ruin I made some small changes following your advice, I like it! there is still a long way to go ... but I'll make it!
Hi everyone, this is my day 3 challenge.

@blissful plume Thank you! I think it's just the image that makes it look illustrated 😄

Here is my Twitter banner. I almost forgot about making these! Had a lot of fun with the 80s colors!
Here it is on my actual twitter, how do I make sure there is very minimal rasterization?
grim mantle
@young karma Thanks so much!!!
@latent lion @wet kettle Thanks for the feedback. Is some kind of lighting effect like this one what you meant?
peak warren
@zenith phoenix I expect a Miami Vice soundtrack to start playing. ❤️ I don’t see the rasterization on my phone. Is your banner 1500x500 at 72 dpi? Then the graphics should be ok. Set the type to smooth in the properties panel, I think.
@grim mantle how did you do the extrusion?
zenith phoenix
@peak warren ok cool. I'll start working on the soundtrack!
agile ruin
@keen python Oh how amazing! Well done 😊

@young karma 🌹 I have started with a desk in my living room when living in a super tiny studio and I come from a completely different background. You got to keep your passion in focus no matter what! Being here, participating to the Adobe Live, submitting works for feedback and editing them out and puts you already in the best direction! keep going 😃

Here's my post for Day 1. A little be late on submitting but glad to get it out to show. I thought of doing a city/urban landscape since I'm resonate more with it than nature. So I did my hometown! NYC at ❤

Yes @glacial path nice pun,I'd love some help with that, what do you suggest
grim mantle
curve gone! thanks @glacial path it does look smoother like that 😀
glacial path
@grim mantle yeees! now it is more organic 😃 this looks very professional!
blissful plume
@robust vector this is amaze balls. What did you use to get such texture?? So soft yet bold somehow.
glacial path
@exotic swan just apply a clipping mask. like this:
robust vector
@blissful plume watercolor brushes with the mandala layout
glacial path
@exotic swan you can also reduce the opacity or change the blending mode 😃
latent lion
@young karma extruding - Just click on the image then click on open original beneath it, then you can use the magnifying glass to enlarge enough to read @young karma
blissful plume
@cerulean vale wow so cool. How did you do that logoesque design?
peak warren
thanks @latent lion
blissful plume
@glacial path yay! I didn’t know how to do that even tho everyone kept throwing around “clipping mask” lol.
grim mantle
@latent lion Thanks! Ah now i see what you meant. I thought of using that tool but since the challenge called for not using 3d mode abut still making it look like 3d I thought it would be cheating lol
iron kernel
what kind of design is allowed to share here?
glacial path
@latent lion feel free to also post this in #🔥tips-and-tricks

@grim mantle I don't think anything is cheating here, except for stealing other's work.

Day 4 Symmetry
cerulean vale
@blissful plume i used apple pen + oilbrush which already adds texture to your drawings, and export that to my computer to put it on a texture with lots of grain and changed the blending mode to soft-light, you can go from there 😃
The one that i post is semi original, as i traced the shape of an existing paint stroke i found online 👍

Hello everyone, here is my Day 4: Symmetrical. First round to use the tool.

Alright, @latent lion has been warned for 'Mass mention'.

that's what i got for today's challenge i really liked the tool but if there is something that i hated it's drawing with mouse 😂
mild frost
Symmetry tool is my jam, man. I actually have implemented a self-imposed ban on its use because I Found myself always using it for Mandala creations. But yeah, I waited for more than fifteen years for it to appear in PS and had a wonderful Year O' Mandalas in 2018 😂 Great jobs to those that participated! 💙
grim mantle
@peak warren You are right! and to answer your previous question on how I did the extrusion I applied drop shadow and then just drew following the lines with the pen tool. Kinda gives it the long shadow effect too

Im catching up!! Day 3 done - I enjoy textures 😃

Fully prepared to embrace my unhealthy love for the symmetry tool + watercolor brushes. I'm digging it!
midnight frigate
this would make a great tile design tool!
latent lion
@robust vector You are amaxzing
spare sail
what do you think? xd
latent lion
@grim mantle Thanks for describing your approach. It's quick and effective. Only thing is the shadow angles differ. Whereas with the 3D you have complete control of how shadows fall. With rendering any pixelization as below is eliminated.
wet kettle
@spare sail love the watercolor background!
robust vector
@latent lion Awwww...thank you. Seriously, try the mandala symmetry tool with some funky brushes. I am probably going to be playing with this a little too much. 😛
zenith oxide
I might try another design later, but here's what I came up with...
gilded bloom
I'm loving all the spring time images. I feel like I went a little overboard on this 😅
peak warren
@zenith oxide Wow. That’s great. The deer in the center makes it look less manufactured.
@old barn that is lovely. The palette is subtle.
zenith oxide
@peak warren thanks so much!
spare path
Hi Everyone. I'm not very good at drawing so I used some flower and butterfly brushes and the spiral symmetry tool.

@molten ether I have a wacom tablet (would love a cintiq but $$$). Game changer for sure. 😉

@robust vector I will definitely be looking for one soon, when the budget allows. lol
robust vector
Right
wet kettle
@molten ether @robust vector I'm trying to convince my company that I need one! 😅
Would make masking so much easier
robust vector
That's how I got my first one! Has the added hidden bonus of no one wants to try to use your computer because they don't understand the "non-mouse". 😛

@wet kettle Don't think I could convince my work either. 😖
@robust vector Can you have both plugged in and working at the same time or does it mess things up?

@molten ether My tablet came with a mouse you can use on it, but I hide it away to confuse people. 😛

Amazing @zenith oxide 😍

@coral stone Thanks!

Just now getting a chance to watch the video and try the skill. This is attempt #1. Those were supposed to be carrots, not radishes. LUL 😂 😅 Also, this is extremely hard to do with a mouse and not a pen.

your feedback??

I am horrible at drawing on my WACOM for now, but the symetry tool is something I had not played with. Also was out taking pictures, so this one was rushed. Very cool tool

@pliant stone the illustration is really beautiful! Very delicate. It harmonizes beautifully with the elegant (hand lettered?) lettering. However, it looks like you have disabled the smoothing (aka Anti-Aliasing) - unfortunately this results in a very sharp edge. Did you disable it somewhere?
pliant stone
Ooo... I don't know, I'll look into it! Thanks for the tip, @glacial path !
glacial path
@wispy compass I like the water color brush! I would maybe improve two things: first, I wouldn't use the dark grey color (how about a brighter and more saturated color?) - and the second thing: I think a subtle paper or canvas texture could make the water color brush even more realistic. Apart from these two minor things, I really like your work 😃
carmine musk
(Sorry for my bad english) Wow I just loved symmetry tool, I used 3 types of symmetry, to create the water, water waves, sky, moon and clouds I used the vertical one, to create the stars I used the symmetry that looks like an “S” and for the last one I used the “mandala” symmetry to create the halo moon, the only thing “extra” is my skull (cause I love skulls) Im from the old school (poor school) just used my mouse.
pliant stone
@glacial path, thank you so much for that tip! I've had it set to "None" this whole time and I was wondering why my type looked pixelated.
glacial path
@dim brook Awesome use of the clipping mask feature! although I think there is a cut in the flower texture here. might want to look into that 😃
wispy compass
@glacial path ...thank you, I will make those changes 👍
glacial path
@pliant stone ooooooh! haha yeah, feel free to post again 😃
mighty vessel
another try . i am really into this tool i think iam gonna play with it alot when i get a graphic tablet 😀

@light nebula GASP
tender field
glacial path
@light nebula how about a nice texture in the background? I think it would tie the whole thing together 😃 Thanks for posting!
glacial path
@dim bear now THAT'S a great use of the black background! The yellow and Teal color combo works really well here! This totally calls for more variations
mighty vessel
and some edits on the first one
glacial path
@dim bear also, you should totally play around with gradients. you can create a circular gradient in Photoshop on a new layer, set the blending mode to color and achieve awesome looking results. you really nailed the mandala!
@young karma you did that with a MOUSE!? mad respect! If you brighten up the purple a bit, the colors would really pop! Well done 😃
dim brook
@glacial path So, I have no idea why that happened... Could it be something to do with my fill pattern? I marked the "Script" button, and chose "Symmetry Pattern - and choice #8: "a different dilative rotation symmetry". It throws some sharp edges in there, but not sure why.
glacial path
@dim brook ooh! I just read your first comment! You used the fill tool. yeah - unfortunately there is no way around this. you could just use a normal (larger) texture to begin with.
@dim brook or you could edit the pattern itself and make the edges softer... hm...
dim brook
@young karma - How did you get your comment to go right under his picture?
glacial path
@dim brook that comment about using the mouse? I wrote it and I just tagged Sam
dim brook
@glacial path Oh ok... I thought maybe there was a way to pin comments to the actual pictures... that would make it easier than scrolling up to find the pic, when commented on.
glacial path
@dim brook unfortunately that's not an option yet. we're hoping it will become a feature at some point 😃
dim bear
@glacial path omg thank you soo much for your feedback ! they look soo AWESOME .i will for sure try it
mighty nimbus
I didn't use any textures. Here's what I came up with.
glacial path
@zenith oxide This is absolutely impressive! That is some good art right there! I'd love to see more of this 😃
robust plank
@peak warren Thanks. I look forward to learning a lot more.
@latent lion I will have to try some more frame work.
zenith oxide
Wow...thanks @glacial path
glacial path
@molten ether drawing with a mouse... I feel ya. Instead of buying an expensive wacom, you could get an iPad! There are apps that allow you to connect it to your computer and use it as a tablet and Photoshop will be coming to the iPad this year! Plus: you have an iPad - so drawing when you're away from your computer is an option too. Let me know if that sounds interesting 😃
@coral stone I dig the muted colors and the soft lines 😃 However, I feel like something is missing here:
@dense tinsel the noise texture totally works and the color scheme rocks! Well done 😃
kindred kernel
😀
glacial path
@gilded bloom nicely done, my friend! only one minor improvement: the brush you've used looks very soft. I would increase the hardness of the brush 😃
gilded bloom
Fair enough the funny thing is I did blur the images more because I felt the lines were too sharp 😅 @glacial path
glacial path
@urban berry nicely done! This is a minimalist design approach which totally works 😃 I do thing something went wrong with the edges, they are somewhat jagged. maybe it looks better on your end 😃
@gilded bloom oh. uhm. well.
coral stone
Thanks for the feedback @glacial path 😄
glacial path
@gilded bloom embrace the crispness 😛
gilded bloom
Pfft yeah
midnight frigate
I noticed that my edges are a bit 'edgy/pixelated' too when using the mouse to draw. what settings works best for crisp edges?
coral stone
I added new leaves with a vibrant color, to create a little contrast 😄
glacial path
you could also use the smoothing tool to help you with that @midnight frigate
@coral stone NICE! Now the whole artwork is more balanced 😃
zenith oxide
This one was purely for fun...not exactly spring related 😁
coral stone
Thanks @glacial path 😄
glacial path
lol. help me out there. should I know this person? @zenith oxide
glacial path
aaaaah gotcha. lol
wispy compass
@glacial path ...OK...made a few changes... what do you think ...better?
glacial path
@kindred kernel Ha! Now that's what I call honest. Let's see how you could improve the design: I would change the colors of the background and the text - Red + dark green unfortunatly don't work well together most of the time. If you need some help with finding color pairs, check out http://color.adobe.com 😃 - maybe you could also pick a different font; one that is more... uh... spring-like. 😛
zenith oxide
@wispy compass Love the texture 😍 The font opacity might be a bit low for readability, to my eyes anyway. Great Job!
wispy compass
@zenith oxide ...yeah...i thought the same ...I'll adjust the opacity...thanks!
glacial path
@tender field awesome job! just make sure the mandala is centered 😉
midnight frigate
Im wondering how you did that gradient behind the mandala earlier! I want to do more design work on this. This was much better using smooth! especially with the mouse! eeegads @glacial path
latent lion
Day 4 Symmetry exercise. Used Surface Dial and pen on Surface Pro in tablet mode to do this Tried different brushes widths and opacities with 7-point Mandala. Envy more talented artists, but thrilled with the technicality of the Photoshop tool. Used to write programs to do this. Is the spirograph still a toy made for children?
@midnight frigate Aubrey Beardleyesque?
midnight frigate
@latent lion what do you mean?
latent lion
@midnight frigate The kind of Lotuseater line drawing my fading memory attributes to Aubrey Beardsley. That's how your pink on black worked for me. It jus t seems hackneyed to say it's beautiful.

@midnight frigate Very nice! I’m glad you’re liking it, it’s definitely a cool tool. I like the way your text outline matches the leaves, nice work!

@zenith oxide Delia Deetz played by Catherine O'Hara ("Home Alone:" KEVINN!!") can now be seen in "Schitt's Creek" on POP channel.

@wet kettle Drawing tablet can definitely help with the more hand drawn stuff, but there’s still a lot of cool effects you can get with a mouse and shape tools. It looks good, I like the texture you have in the background brush. It could be cool to introduce a little color into the background to make the whole image more cohesive, unless that separation is what you’re going for. Nice work!
@undone sapphire Looking good, love the playful designs! Most of the colors are in a fairly similar value range, it could be nice to lighten the background a bit to get some more contrast with the background.
@urban berry Nice work! Looks like you got a good feel for the tool. Looks good!
latent lion
@mild karma Yeah, kinda Batik tie-dyed
bleak fossil
@spice hawk I like your use of the more textured brush, has a nice look. It could be cool to bring a green leafy element into the corners to contrast the eggs. Nice job!
@kindred inlet Haha, nice job, an ambitious goal for sure.
@robust path Nice job, really cool/happy looking color scheme you got. Cool to see all the effects people are getting with the symmetry tool.
@mighty vessel Hah, yeah, drawing with the mouse can definitely be frustrating. Though even with a mouse you can get some really cool effects with the symmetry tool. Really nice designs and color, could be cool to even see one more light colored ring added in. Maybe you could even make the small ring smaller and be overlapped by the center shape, then put a slightly darker ring in between the two existing rings. Just a thought, nice work!
kindred inlet
Day 4 Challenge - I took a stab at hand drawing a mandala with a mouse (clean lines are impossible- - super fun though!)
latent lion
@spare path described using some flower and butterfly brushes. Two or three other contributors appeared to be using flora or fauna brushes. My question is were those brushes available from Adobe (CC subscriber here) or available as a third party plug in or add in, like Corel's? Stepping out for something to eat.
bleak fossil
@keen python Looking good. Yeah, very cool use of texture. It could be nice to separate the text from the background a bit more? Currently everything is fairly dark, might be nice to brighten the text or the stroke around it to make it pop out a bit more.
@kindred gate Very nice, the designs and use of the symmetry tool definitely fit the theme!
It could be nice to tone down the saturation of the background pink to kind of have a nice pastel color palette and let the bold pink of the flowers pop more.
@old barn Very nice! Love your use of color an fading out the petals towards the center. Looks great.
@trim field Looks good! Nice use of texture in the text. It could be nice to see some of that heavier texture you see in the “Y” and ”B” in some of the other letters. Good work!
@robust vector Nice job, really cool effects with these two. I really like the dark and moody feel of the first one, looks like it could be an album cover.
@spare sail Really nice pastel sort of color palette on this one! Love the light, elegant look of the symmetry design. Looks like it could be on stationary or something. Great job.
@zenith oxide Very cool! Love the whole look of this. Great mix of illustrated elements and designs. Awesome work.
Also great job with the mandala, a lot of intricate designs fit in there, very cool!
midnight frigate
@kindred inlet i am inspired to go further with mine now! 😉
bleak fossil
@gilded bloom Hah, I feel like it’s really easy to get carried away with the symmetry tool. Can be a lot of fun to play with. Nice work! Interesting use of focus on this one.
@spare path Great work, cool to see someone use a spiral ! Looks really nice. This is more of a nitpick than anything, but it could be nice to try lighting up the background red/pink tone just a tad to make the design elements read a better on the top right of the design? Just a thought, not sure if that would help the overall image. Nice job!
@dense tinsel Nice cohesive look on this one! It would be cool to see how it looks without texture on the main text, I wonder if that could give it a nice contrasting difference. Though it also has a cool uniform look with it as is. Nice work!
@coral stone Looking good Valdair! Nice mix of different shapes and designs fit in with the symmetry tool. Always good to see what you’re doing for these challenges. Could be nice to darken down the center pink element, or even the orange/pink ring around it? Might be a nice contrast to the darken green ring around the outside to balance out the image a bit more and bring the eye more towards the center. Keep it up!
@molten ether Hah, pens can definitely be nice when it comes to the more freehand drawing aspect. Nice work! Could be cool to sort of tie all the design elements you have together with a couple continuous “rings” designs around the image. Might strengthen the feeling of radial symmetry and make the other elements feel more in place.
@dim brook Great colors and designs! Definitely has a happy spring feeling to it.
@young karma That’s a nice job for using a mouse! It has a really cool illustrated feel to it the way it is now. It could be interesting to play around a bit more with the brightness on the radial gradient to make the center even brighter. Looks great!
@dim bear Nice work! Lots of intricate designs in there. It could be cool to try applying a radial gradient to your designs and see what effects you could get with value or color shifts. Just an idea. Looks good!
@kindred inlet That's really impressive, especially with a mouse! You nailed it. Love the variety of shapes in all your designs. Awesome mandala!

@late sparrow Awesome! This looks like it would be the logo/icon for a mobile app! loving that noise texture too!
@midnight frigate Loved all of your posts today! This most recent one looks epic even without the smoothing. in fact, that outer purple element looks like a little beetle bug, haha. Very cute!
@light nebula Awesome entry! I'd love to see you experiment with the color of the background! Love the pink and love the designs you made with the symmetry tool but since its as bright as the yellow text its a little hard to read. Or, maybe leave the back as is and play with the text color or stroke! Good work, buddy!
@rocky ferry Awesome design! Looks like neon lights to me! I'd love to see you play on that theme and maybe add some more glow? Could bee cool! Great job!
@coral stone Really loving the organic shapes you have going in your entry. It feels very natural with the colors.Reminds me of those vintage botany posters! well done
@fallow bough LOL I get it! SPRING! Ha, you're a joker! Great design! Have you thought about arranging the text to fill all of the space in the center of the frame? Could be a fun experiment!

Hi @digital coral That looks good! The texture is great. Do you want to modify the default at-social_handle at the bottom? Not sure if you have an Insta or a You_Tube, but you should have a Behance.
Displacement map on the text in the BG. Using same method as @glacial path just posted. (I discovered it end of last month, on another tutorial)

First time trying the symmetry tool, I used some brushes to play around with it

Hey @peak warren! Thank you so much for the feedback! Ya I do have a behance profile, but I accidently deleted the layers except the background one 😶 So now I'll have to make another version of this design to put my behance profile link in it 🙂

Hi @digital coral -- Lesson there. Leave the layers in the file and make them invisible with the eye button. That way you can change your mind later. You notice the emphasis on smart objects and non-destructive editing? I think that is the result many users experiencing the same lesson.

@eternal marsh I liked the text shadow a lot! The color palette creates a great mood for the composition and matches the background. Amazing!
Maybe you could add some texture, like noise, to see how it looks 😄
digital coral
Hi @peak warren Thanks for the valuable advice 😃 I'm gonna keep this in mind from now on.
eternal marsh
@coral stone Thanks! Yeah I thought something was missing, I'll try a noise filter!

@peak warren that's awesome!
@molten ether as long as you have a stylus ( the apple one is veeeery good but only works on ipads)
@blazing wasp this is really beautiful! keep up the good work 😃

@robust plank Maybe going a little more royal blue to make the "JELLY FISH" pop and less submerged.
@tepid sierra The treatment of the Twitter banner hawser background reminded this old salt of dried seaweed on mooring lines.
@blissful plume This is for you. If you feel it, blast away.

hi guys! 😃 I will appreciate if you comment logo that I am doing for a photographer 😃

I think it would be fun if you could make Octavio's portrait a little bit bigger, so he stretch out almost (or 1/3) more to the outer circle

Even as a joke, it was a bit sparse so added background and tweaked text

This was fun project. Mixed the symmetry drawing in photoshop with a background frame created in Illustrator.

@young karma great use of the gradient overlay! maybe you can experiment with different brushes 😃
@latent lion oh I really like the second version with the colorful extruded text 😃 I would increase the leading a bit, the @ is almost touching the B 😃

I've finally worked on Day 1 frames..... it was the only photo I had.... a bit flat. I like the water in general.
Day 1 frame tool the photo is a bit grainy because I didn't have a tripod.

I know it's simple and I still got to use three different symmetry brushes!Thanks, VooDooVal.

@brazen barn Nice!! It's okay that the electrical arcing is asymmetrical. Presumably, the arcing was added with an over-layer?
@manic coral Liked the non-concentricity of the circles in the second "Year of the Pig."
@slate bramble Pleasingly aggressive radial 10-point. Crayonlike brush work looks good although the white pretzels lost a little of that texturization. Don't change it. Nice understated sporadic blue accenting.

@young karma Nice work. You can insert a textured background too. (use https://stock.adobe.com free previews if you want) and use Blend options, opacity. . . 👌 🖖

WOW! love what you guys are did with last week challenges! Hope you are excited about the new ones coming up 😎
@opal plume what an amazing fractal you have created! I find it so fascinating. 😍 Absolutely love the contrast between dark background and bright palette
Hi @gilded bloom well done and thank for your submissions. 😊 Very well done with the twitter banner. I find very clever to include elements about yourself on your name. If you have time, I would play with the wire of the controller to origin from a higher point in the lower curve of the S. Also I would try to swap the white text with the lighter blue you used to keep the colours consistent. Give me a shout if you make any edits. 👌 The energy of your symmetric drawing is wonderful 👏
Hello @robust plank ! Thank you for your submission I find it super interesting. I would slightly tweak the space in between the characters (kerning) as the Z-E seem a bit closer then the other letters. I would also have a play with alignment. If you do not want to be a block, you could align it to the E to give it some room! The rulers (cmd/ctrl+ R) come very handy to generate guidelines- see attachment below- Really nice font choice! If you make any edits give me a shout I would love to see it developing.
glacial path
@finite chasm Nice work with the watercolor brush and good choice of colors! What brush did you use?
@gilded bloom The drawing looks really good! Just make sure to remove the symmetry lines when sharing your work 😃
@gilded bloom nicely done! I would also add a gradient to the hat on the N. right now the color is just a solid 😃
finite chasm
@glacial path oh gosh I cant quite remember, I was just playing around with multiple brushes. I think it was from 'Kyles real water colour - Big Soft' for the orange and then the yellow and pink were smoke brushes I downloaded
glacial path
ah of course! Kyle is the master of brushes 😃
legend says, if you say "brushes" 3x, he will appear

hahaha there is also a bit of splatter in the orange from his splatter brush

A little late on my Day 4 challenge that I did on Saturday. I'm not loving it.... I don't really draw all that much so this was my best attempt at some flowers
