Thanks for the review and feedback. I masked out the text and adjusted the composition.

[uncut shell]

Very simple and great way to execute the challenge. The hands extending the border invites the audience to emerge onto your poster @amber crystal

[astral turret]

Great composition @amber crystal

[zinc lava]

@amber crystal cool design I like how you made the hands to be ontop ofthe frame, it made it look like the person is coming out of the image😀

[red verge]

i think filled all the way in is the way to go?

My very first challenge 😃 (Image from unsplash)

[dawn mountain]

Hi, all. I'm struggling with the border. Is the purple too dark in the top corner? Or is the blue gradient too low? Like should I pull it up to match the blue in the background or change the blue color completely? Would love any feedback. ❤

[unreal hornet]

Day 1. It's been a while since I've done a challenge... I've had too much "real work" to do

[astral turret]

@unreal hornet great way to show before and after, brilliant

[void ermine]

@dawn mountain looks awesome I think as is. If I were to change something I think the bottom right is too bright. There’s nothing really there but it draws attention away from the face and chest/clavicle bones which are more interesting. I like the purple streaks in top left if that’s what you were initially referring to. Very cool looking!

[dawn mountain]

@void ermine Thanks! Yeah, I kinda left the bottom right empty to help move the eyes around because I felt like blue was super bright in the background and I felt that the orbs would help give some sort of balance away from it, ya know? But, I'll keep messing with it and see what I come up with. Thanks for the feedback! 😃

@young karma That looks a lot better!

[ember jacinth]

Any advice??

[silent hollow]

#day1challenge

[sterile bane]

@ember jacinth interesting photo! I think having the blur effect on the axe is a bit confusing since it is reflecting a lot of light (like the cans are). It feels like it should also be in focus. Perhaps you could keep it in focus (or use content-aware to remove it entirely)

@simple steeple beautiful sunset! it feels like the rock the figure is standing on (and the water around it) should also be in focus. In this photo, notice how the grass below the gull (and all grass at that specific distance) is all in focus, but the rest is blurred

[sand current]

I may have taken the blur and add lens flares a little too far. But I kinda like it.

[silent hollow]

Day 1 !!!!!!!!

[raven atlas]

Here's my contribution to the Day 1 PS Challenge. The photo was made by me, about 3am at London St Pancras Station.
I welcome all constructive feedback.

[lucid moss]

@raven atlas nice, i would crop out or use the stamp tool to get rid of that trashcan in the bottom right of each photo, it's a bit distracting

[kindred pendant]

ok so I am a tad bit behind... here is my cover image

@raven atlas Cool photo! and wow - 3 am... team nightshift I guess 😄 ?

[fallow bough]

Original

[raven atlas]

@coral stone : I absolutely love how you made the umbrella sit outside the frame! Brilliant!

[wind jolt]

Original photo from a wedding added a blurred background and tried to be creative with the lady

[glacial path]

@raven atlas I think you should look at the main title again. the contrast is pretty low. just darken the text or brighten the background. this would also be a great chance to finetune the colors. Since you're going with a black&white look, some dark desaturated color tones would look awesome! You could also invert the background and go with the night theme

@raven atlas bright text on a dark background

@raven atlas I'm wondering what those brush strokes are 🤔

[raven atlas]

@glacial path : I'm a bit of a nocturnal creature.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll work on them before I go to bed (it's 23:55 in the UK)

Not brush strokes at all...

you could make the overlay effect more dramatic
Admittedly, I did try dramatic... maybe I'm just too conservative for my own good.

The text is also nice! The idea with the g and the l is interesting but it is important to keep in mind that it will decrease the legibility

[silent hollow]

Loving everyones different take on this challenge! Definitely giving me a lot of inspiration and motivation for the other challenges 😀

[fallow bough]

@glacial path I figured the fat type and the image itself would compensate.

[glacial path]

@wispy fjord wow! this poster has a great look! The background looks a bit busy. You could blur it slightly or reduce the contrast 😃

@fallow bough I guess so. As long as you don't do it for a longer text it should be ok

[modest nimbus]

I'm new to photoshop. So I was wondering if any more experienced people have some ideas.

[glacial path]

@median quarry That's a great color scheme but the red border is slightly distracting. I think you can darken it slightly to help the roses stand out more 😃

[wind jolt]

@median quarry A lovely piece . If I may say, try a softer border to see how it looks

[glacial path]

@modest nimbus you're definitely on the right track! I think you could add some context around the two images. the gray looks a bit empty. you could put them into a frame like Kathleen did in her poster

a poster a day- I could not complete the "poster" as it showed a message "scratch disk full"

[coral stone]

Beautiful tribute @short mica ❤

[cold cedar]

Here it is with the images I used. LEt me know your thoughts.

@main jungle Nice image. I am not sure the tree on the left is working. And perhaps some masking of the dog on the left and the woman to eliminate the green cast?

[coral stone]

Looking great @cold cedar! I loved what you did with the frame

Also how the bokeh is overlapping the elephant is subtle which makes it looks beautiful and awesome!

[glacial path]

@cold cedar nice one! But I think you need a wider font for the vertical text to work - I like the "me" touch 😃

Thank you @coral stone

Again, all constructive criticism welcome! Additionally, many thanks for the feedback on my 1st take; it's made me think... long term!

[high mesa]

Changed it and emphasized the pastel

[stark swan]

@trail kiln I like the colors and the glitch effect on your poster!

👌

[bleak fossil]

@modest nimbus Really cool use of effects with the background! Nice job of masking out the girl as well. The only thing is the girl now appears like she doesn’t quite fit in with that bright environment due to the deep shadows on her front. Perhaps let some of that light onto her mask? Here’s a quick example I did using a color dodge layer. You somewhat lose that strong dark shape/silhouette, but I think she seems more in place this way.

@raven atlas Interesting use of color to really pull that focus to the red bus. I wonder if leaving the color in the rest of the bus (windows and such) would help unify the bus as a whole a bit more. I think the red would still pop out the most, but letting that color in the windows show through might help separate the rest of the bus from the background. Looks good Ess!

@cold cedar Very cool! Love those colors and the way you broke the frame with the elephant, gives the image a nice feel. The letters do feel a little odd to me. I think it might be that they seem a bit cramped? The way the letters are so close together and right next to the frame make it feel a bit tight in that area. I think if the letters had a bit more space or if the frame to the left was a bit thinner it would make it feel like it has more room to breathe. I think what Tim said about have font working better if it was wider might help it read a bit better as well. It's looking really cool!

@short mica Nice work J Lewis :)
@real fossil Great work, I really like the golden monochromatic look to the whole image, really gives it a cool feel. Were you able to fix the scratch disk problem?

[cold cedar]

Thanks @bleak fossil I posted a second one but I see even with the second one the letters are a bit tight. I'll work on that.

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@magic tangle Ooh, very cool. I think one thing that might help this image is if the styles between the photo and the drawing fit together a little bit better. I think perhaps applying a filter or two to the background to make it look a little bit more illustrated might help unify them more. I believe Jesus did a previous DCCC where we were trying to give it a more comic book look, a little bit of that might work well for this image.

@fallow bough Well done Ken! That blur effect really draws the focus to the two figures and bull in the foreground. The radio blurred definitely gives it a sense of motion and movement which works well with this image. Nice work!

[cold cedar]

@bleak fossil Gave the letters a little breathing room.

[jolly quest]

@high mesa loving the poster! One thing I noticed though, I see a yellowed box around the girl. It this intentional? It seems to me like it might be the boarder of the image of her. If it’s not intentional, I say maybe do some erasing. Or if it is, maybe try making the box stand out more or play around with some effects that will make it stand out as an intentional element in the image.

@high mesa or, if you like the subtlety, that’s cool too! Just sharing some thoughts on it 😃

[bleak fossil]

@wind jolt Very nice Gino! I think the font change you made looks much better, and doesn't draw too much attention away from the image above. I really love that almost watercolor feel you have with this image. The only thing I think might help would be if the background right in front of her face was lighter instead of being as dark as it is. currently at a glance the contrast between the neck and the background seems to pull the most focus, it would be nice if that focus was moved up towards the face. Though that’s a bit of a nitpick. Looks great!

[jolly quest]

@short mica loving the tribute poster! I think it could be improved if you try removing some of the texture over his face, however. I think the visibility is low there and since this is a tribute, perhaps he should be viewed more clearly? Well done!

Hello. @bleak fossil 😃

[bleak fossil]

@median quarry Looks really good! I love the way the red really pops next to all the other colors. I wonder if toning down the saturation or brightness of the red border slightly would make it compete less with the flowers. Really liking that effect with the background circles!

Oh hey howdy there @jolly quest Fancy seeing you around these parts

[strong plover]

What do y’all think?!!

[jolly quest]

@cerulean spruce WOAH very interesting approach! Loving the circles mixed with those in the photo! Very cool!

[white temple]

I've been so busy today I've only just finished the cover image! Here it is though.

[blissful wolf]

Day 1

[bleak fossil]

@wispy fjord Really cool. Very interesting collaged sort of feel to it. I think a blurring the background slightly so all those circles have a softer edge might help to really draw the focus into the center figure. the crispness of the edges in contrast to the softer background will really help it stand out. Very nice image!

@frosty parcel nice poster! I’d love to see whet it would look like if you swapped the images, putting the black and white portion behind and the colored image on top? I think it might increase visibility on your subject!

Hi! This is my DCC of the day. What do you think?

[bleak fossil]

@elder basin Awesome, welcome in! Glad you could join us. Really like what you did with the colors in the bottom image! Definitely gives it some life. Nice work on blurring the background as well. I wonder if blurring some of the circles in the scene might help the effect as well, though I like how you varied the opacity. Also it might be nice to fix the orientation of the bottom image since it looks like it was squished a bit. Nice work!

@kindred pendant Nailed it! The way you handled blurring and desaturating the background really makes that tiger a strong focal point. Awesome work!

@high mesa Very nice! The pastel one definitely gives it more crispness. I feel like it might help to make the girl bigger in the frame. She seems a bit small for the main subject and focal point of this poster. Very cool work with the colors!

Thanks...and I think Discord is going to be harder to learn than PS. EEEK!

[white temple]

@normal canyon I love it! The only thing I would say is that the bokeh is hiding the subject more than helping to soften the background/image. I'm not sure how you would fix that other than clipping out the legs and putting them all the way in front so that the bokeh would only be in the background, then adjusting the opacity or the softness of the leg layer.

I made a second one. 😅 Once again, still struggling with the border. With this one, I'm just not sure about the colors I used. Kinda feel like they're too dark but, I didn't like them when they were lighter. Any feedback would be lovely. 💜

[trail kiln]

@dawn mountain I actually really really like this one. I think the colors are moody, which works for the piece. I also really like how her arm is in front of the border to create dimension!

OK - finally got the poster for day 1 done - or at least in process. Both my main Photoshop machine AND my Cintique are DOA (but getting fixed), so I'm on my laptop with the Intuous. Anyway.... I put together kind of a fashion poster with a BG from Unsplash and a lovely model rendered in Poser Pro 2014. I thought it might be fun to position her so her left fingers were on this side of the frame. I added a bit of bokeh in front and back of her. Feedback / suggestions welcome.

[white temple]

Not quite on Day 1, but here is my poster. For some reason of all things, I couldn't figure out how to change the poster number color! 😂

[gaunt wagon]

Day 1 poster

[bleak fossil]

@cerulean spruce Great to see you all coming in so strong on the first day! I like the warm colors. I think the dog in the image could be solidified as the focal point of it more by increasing its size and maybe even decreasing the saturation of the red in the background. Right now the backgrounds colors are so bold and the circles on the bottom right or so big that they almost over shadow the dog.

@tulip fern Kitty! Really nice work with the blur! My only suggestion would be to maybe put more blur towards the middle bottom. There’s a sort of radial blur to the left and the right on the plants, but not in the center near the cats legs which makes the blur look a bit unnatural. I think it’s fine to blur a bit of the cats legs along with the planets, it’ll just work to pull focus to its face more. Looks good 😄

[fiery trail]

Hey guys I just finished the photoshop challenge of the day (July 9th) I feel that this poster is missing something that make it pop. Should I have added some graphic design elements like circles, lines, or text to the poster? Or should I play with the sizes of the image to give it a sense of unbalance? is the circles on the subject a bit distracting?😀

[bleak fossil]

@mint sorrel Awesome work! Would be nice to see the original image. Everything looks very natural and well done in this, from the colors, to the lights, to the blurred background. Very nice!

@strong plover Glad you could join us! Did you blur the background? If so, I think you could push it a bit more. I think a simple blur and vignette on an image like this could do a lot to draw the focus. Maybe playing with the crop a bit. Here’s a quick example.
Edit: I saw your updated image, I’m really liking the effect! Though if you scale your image down the effect might not get so pixelated. Though it’s kind of an interesting effect on it’s own, almost looks like looking through patterned glass.

@pulsar walrus Awesome image! Really love the lighting and faded background. I think the text is really cool but it almost looks slightly out of place. I think maybe changing the white to a really like yellowish color might fit it in with the monochromatic feel of the rest of the image.

@frosty parcel Really cool effect! I think you could be cool to repeat the effect one more time, perhaps with a blurred image in the background. A third image repeated might help unify the effect more. Maybe something like this? Just a thought Looks good!

Any one give feedback on it...

[cold cedar]

@bitter needle You could always make it horizontal. Just a thought.

[young karma]

Hey @fading burrow

for the Winter Sale poster i´d recommend the following changes:

Use a less Game of Thrones kind of font for the Headline
Maybe the one you used for "show now" in Bold or Extra Bold.

Make sure the kering is set right even if you have to change it on every single letter.

Focus on a maximum of 2 Fonts.

I´d go for all caps. Looks a bit more balanced.

Is it necessary to have "for Women, Men & Kids" in there? If not,
Rearrange the text.

WINTER SALE
SHOP EXCLUSIVE DESIGNER WEAR
AND SAVE UP TO 80%

Hope i Could help.

Maybe like that.

Oh yeah and i´d try to make the CTA a flag.

[queen flower]

This Is My 1st Photoshop Challenge. I Would Love Get Feedback..!

[young karma]

Day 1

[copper tree]

Hello 😃
Day 1 - Blurred Background

[wind jolt]

@bleak fossil - Thanks Sam, did a curves adjustment to reduce the dark and increase light areas

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[brave pagoda]

HI everyone, day 1 blur a background challenge . PS this is my first ever challenge🙃

[glacial path]

Hey @brave pagoda What a cute doggo 😄

I would center the images and possibly desaturate them slightly

[ruby panther]

I've been trying to work on my color schemes. I think this works?

[burnt wadi]

Hi, contributing to the first challenge, please let me know what you think 🙌

[minor basalt]

Here's my entry for day 1

[short mica]

@jolly quest I did try that with a mask but it looked so extreme
.... My control over the tools is definitely wanting...... We have windows in common (on a speced out XPS 15 ) is it my inexperience or does it handle considerably different than a Mac?

@bleak fossil🙏

[young karma]

This is my day 1 exercise. 2much blur maybe?

[high mesa]

@bleak fossil @jolly quest - thank u for great feedback; really appreciate your opinions. I will have a relook based upon your thoughts 😉

@raven atlas I'm digging the pun, I'm wondering how it would look if the two decks where exactly the same.
Really love the theme 👍👍

DAY 1 😀

[high mesa]

@fair wedge - hey thanks for the props

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Anna A

[tulip fern]

@covert osprey what a lovely happy girl! Brings a smile to my face 😃 I think that when you either desaturate the border or maybe even better give the girl more saturation / contrast than she will really pop-up. Also maybe rotate the bokeh layer a bit to the left so they will be less heavy on top and fill the left side as well? These are all suggestions, not sure how they would turn out I am not an expert myself 😉 but it sure is a very nice Poster 👍🏻

[young karma]

Poster number 1 - it took some time for me to select an image that would work. I had another image that I went through the entire process but could never get it to look like the subject was just sort of floating. Even by keeping the foreground in focus, the effect was not really ideal. So, I scrapped that one and searched for an image in which the subject went out of frame which, I felt, would trick the brain into thinking the subject was not floating in an amorphous world. Anyway, all's well that ends well and I feel that I learned some lessons about what types of photos can be used as well as a reminder to focus better in my own photography work.

[strong plover]

@bleak fossil Hi, Sam! I blurred it a little, but you’re right, I could’ve blurred it a little more. Your vignette is AWESOME! Thanks for the feedback! I’m typically a grad student in Leadership, but couldn’t pass-up the creative challenge!! This is so great of y’all, thank you!!!

[fringe thicket]

Here's my entry for day 1. Took some time to find the right place for the bokeh, and still not sure 🙈

[high mesa]

@fair wedge - luv the colours in the image, I would like to see more of the bokeh, perhaps try blurring the background more to help bring the flares forward. Did you duplicate the flares and scale them? Add a blend? These are just ideas, feel free to try or not. Hope this helps.

[leaden peak]

My entry for day 1

[young karma]

Also the background is blury i didn´t like the background, so i decided to change the background just by bluring it. I duplicateted the image, i made a selection from the horse on the layer above and made a mask from the selction, i used 1000% gausian blur on the layern down to keep all colors of the image for the new background.

[spark wharf]

Revised Day 1. The other one was too blah.

[leaden peak]

@young karma I would love if you could use the posterize effect on the horse

[young karma]

Here we go.

[young karma]

Hi guys, this is my day 1 challenge. Let me know what you think of it.

[hearty wharf]

hi all, here is day 1 - love the other posters!

and i did another blurry background pic ...

is it too much? i'd like to use it for portfolio, i've worked on the design ...

[split frigate]

Hi all! This is my submit for the Day one challenge! Let me know what you think

[subtle nexus]

Hi guys, here is my version of Day 1 😃

[zealous coyote]

Hello Everybody ! So this is the first time I try something like this, could you give me some feedback?

[young karma]

here is my day 1 challenge 😃

[split frigate]

@young karma you forgot the bokeh lights

[young karma]

@split frigate thanks will add them 😃

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to nmdesigns

[hasty coral]

which one do you like more?

[young karma]

like this ? 😃

[magic rampart]

Hi Everyone, here's my day 1 poster

@hasty coral I prefer the second, it's kooky with the upside down, the balloons collide nicely.

[dawn mountain]

I re-worked my first attempt at my poster and have come down to two variations. Which looks better and what do you think makes it work more than the other? 💜

[magic rampart]

@dawn mountain I think the second is better, the border pops, the colour is more balanced (if that is the right way to put it) and the 01 stands out better on a darker part of the background.

[zinc turret]

A bit late on my day 1. I am a newbie in PS but have a bit of idea here and there. I am new to the Creative Challenge as well.
Took the photo from unsplash.
Couldn't get enough time to work on the poster.
Hoping to get feedback.

[restive otter]

Challenge1 before

[hasty coral]

@magic rampart thanks, that's what I was thinking.

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Jmada

[hasty coral]

@dawn mountain I like the bottom one better. Same reasons, the border and colors pop better. Nice job

[restive otter]

After background blur challenge and i still have many queries

[magic rampart]

@restive otter maybe use a layer mask to remove the bubbles from in front of their faces, other than that it looks good

[restive otter]

i haven't understood how to clear the effect from some part of layer as after creating layer mask it was not vanishing

yeah i was having problem in doing that

@magic rampart yeah

[magic rampart]

@restive otter when you create the layer mask use a black brush on 100% opacity to paint over the bubbles on the layer mask, this would "hide" them from view.

[restive otter]

okay but it was actually painting black ... i'll do it again thnaks @magic rampart

@magic rampart thank you for feedback

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Jmada

[magic rampart]

@restive otter make sure your layer mask is selected when you paint on it, no problem 😀

[lone hare]

Day #1

[magic rampart]

@lone hare awesome car! It looks like you have blurred the whole image though.

[split frigate]

@dawn mountain yours looks really good! I like the 2nd version

@icy cargo looks good!

[loud zephyr]

Here is my day one Poster. Hope you guys like it.😉

[vagrant sorrel]

Day 1 poster

Reference

[lone hare]

@magic rampart Nah everything behind the car got blurred. It might look all blurry due to the quality of the original image or the texture I laid over the final image.

[split frigate]

@young karma looks great!

[magic rampart]

@loud zephyr nice, lovely colours

@lone hare in that case, nice!

Day 2 Poster: Layers

[sterile bane]

@spark wharf wow this is super cool! really feels like a travel portrait. two pieces of feedback 1) the diamond pattern is cool, but it feels a little big and stark - starts to distract a little from the design. Perhaps you could try decreasing the scale and possibly scaling back the opacity? 2) the shades of blue are awesome and I think the stark black feels a bit out of place. you could try a super dark, desaturated navy instead of black for a more cohesive palette. just my thoughts! do your thing 😃

@rugged jacinth ha! great color palette and funny quote. I think the red in the sun feels a bit out of place with the pink of the mountains. maybe you could try a pink-er red in the sun to mesh the palette together a bit more?

[coral stone]

Hi everyone! I'm still working on it, it was a great opportunity to use my Wacom with the freeform pen tool 😄 Please let me know what you think 😃

[tulip fern]

@rugged jacinth I like your slogan 😃 and also the warm colors you used. I am curious though what it would be like when you have a sunset over water?

[astral turret]

@spark wharf I don't think it needs much. The white is a bit over-powering to the design, maybe try changing it to a softer color? It would help bring the whole design together I think.

[spark wharf]

@sterile bane I see what you are saying about the black! I will try the blue like suggested. Ha! on the diamond pattern. I am already at 4%. Maybe I can find something different or lose it all together.

[tulip fern]

@coral stone this could be a very artistic tissue-box 😃 I like the irregular blue layers on top of each other. Maybe onlything I would change is the Nemo logo, if you want it in there then maybe give it more space, maybe in the middle of the bottom part. It feels a bit chopped of now to me.

[spark wharf]

@astral turret I'll try to change the background color. That's a great idea. Thank you!

[nimble shard]

@young karma for a vineyard I would use slightly deeper greens and a hint of either purple (maybe in the frame) or a terra cotta or lighter brown for the vines/buildings. Your poster looks great, though!

[queen onyx]

Day 2 Layers Challenge

[void ermine]

@spark wharf I like it! I think it would add more depth if the large waves were different values. Progressively getting lighter as they recede into the background. You could do something similar with the waves. Having them getting lighter as they get further away. Very cool@design though. I like the diagonal created by be large waves drawing the eyes from the foreground to the background to the whale tail. Nice job !

[fringe thicket]

Here's my first attempt at the challenge of day 2. Had a go at adding textures and playing with the blending modes, but I'm not sure if I like it 🤔 Maybe I should just change the color scheme (tried to match it with the photo I used for day 1)? Or just skip the textures? Any feedback is welcome!

[real fossil]

day 2

[young karma]

My day2 very mosaic like take on the day .

[void ermine]

@fringe thicket looks nice! If you’re looking to change something, I think the cyan section stands out more than the other layers. Could be the texture or the color. If you are trying to create depth you could switch that color to the foreground or maybe move the texture to the foreground orange layer

[fallow bough]

@onyx rock Love the 3D effect you achieved. Took challenge to another level. Minor suggestion - you might want to use a different color or add stroke to poster number. Bit hard to read.

[fleet pecan]

[zinc lava]

My day 2 challenge

[white temple]

I incorporated a photo and use the magic healing (?) brush to blend it into the background. Any feedback is more than welcome 😃

[glacial path]

@white temple cool poster 😄 I like the pastel colors and the grass texture. The perspective of the ferris wheel seems a bit off though. It's pretty subtle.

@white temple if you can, try and cut off this part of the bevel filter. you can add a layermask or an eraser tool after rasterizing the layer

[woeful storm]

day 2 design, feedbacks if you have any please 😅

[glacial path]

@woeful storm aw this is fantastic! did you create the height map?

[spark wharf]

@woeful storm This is really cool. Love the colors. Love the depth!

[glacial path]

@zinc lava Cool idea having the mountain poke through the text! I think you could fade the sky to a lighter color instead of black. The horizon usually is pretty bright.

@zinc lava maybe you can also add some shading to the trees 😃

[onyx rock]

@fallow bough thank you for the feedback, I think so too but I had no idea, tried a few different Colors but they either disappeared in the white because too light or in the dark blue because too dark ! I’ll look into a stroke though ! didn’t think of that ! thank you

@fleet pecan I like your use of different gradients! Maybe you can apply that scheme to the mountains as well? To recreate this kind of effect

so a gradient from light to dark

[fallow bough]

Missed @fleet pecan image above. Beautiful

[woeful storm]

@glacial path no, not sure what a height map is. i used the posterize adjustment to get the shapes. What is a height map?

@void ermine yeah im working on fixing those edges, thank you you're amazing.

@woeful storm this 😃

@woeful storm your poster looks somewhat similar

@white temple yeah, you can't really tilt it in Photoshop. you would have to use a different one. In this case, it's just fine though. 😉

@woeful storm either way, it's a really cool look!

[woeful storm]

@glacial path oh i thought heat map was a feature in ps lol. 😫

[glacial path]

@young karma woah! Those textures are crazy 😄 I think you could make them a bit brighter 😃 The poster is rather dark right now. I also think you could put something in the lower half. The blue texture is pretty empty

@woeful storm ah sorry. no :/

[woeful storm]

@glacial path thanks man.

@real fossil I'm a big fan of the Magenta-Yellow gradient. Magenta - Orange also looks pretty cool! I think you should take a look at the text again. white on yellow is pretty tough to read 😮

@fringe thicket The color contrast is very nice and strong! The colors really do pop 😄 Just be careful with that "S". It is touching the edge of the frame

I would either leave some space or go over it. but of course you would have to change the border color since white on white doesn't work at all 😛

[white temple]

@glacial path fixed the bevel edge...I think.

[glacial path]

@white temple much better 😄

[prime bridge]

@glacial path Did you see mine (:

[zinc lava]

@glacial path made the horizon lighter and shaded the trees how is it now

[glacial path]

@zinc lava yeeeees! I really like the trees ^^

@prime bridge still looking through the submissions 😃

@normal canyon Always nice to see a really abstract poster! How did you come up with the colors and shapes? I mean, this shade of red doesn't come to my mind when thinking about sand 😮

@ebon merlin Great use of the drop shadows! I also really like the color scheme 😄 Well done

@lone hare woah! the shapes are just super cool! Reminds me of a futuristic city 😮 - I think a black-neon-magenta color scheme could also work 😄 Well done Ryan!

@mint sorrel That's a great poster 😄 But I don't think you need the black stroke around the clouds 😉 maybe you can also find a better spot for the text - the sky?

@prisma raven DUUUDE! That halftone pattern is fantastic! I wonder if you could use white as the text color instead. (the dark blue is also really cool by the way)

[prisma raven]

@glacial path hey thanks yeah I started out with pure white text and there was definitely something there with the high contrast of the blue and white...

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to evil

[glacial path]

@prime bridge wow! You're absolutely onto something! I especially like this part! The sky should be dark though and the moon (I suppose) should be bright! Something along the lines of this:

and I wish you would add some gradients to the foreground too!

[prime bridge]

I totally agree gradients would make it look nice 😬 Thanks for the feedback 😎

@woeful storm oo paper illustration! i like the way you think.

and @uncut shell !

[sand current]

Seriously I am inspired by all the super amazing fan art, but I have no fan girl thing going. I need a show or book or something to get behind.

[sterile bane]

@uncut shell I have two little pieces of feedback - let me know what you think. 1) the E in RETRO starts to disappear a bit on that blue color. Perhaps the slightest drop shadow could help? Like, SUPER faint. 2) i love the color palette, but I think the green feels different than the rest. It vibrates a bit against the orange. Perhaps a more pastel green, or another hue entirely. like salmon?

@sand current haha! that's awesome.

[uncut shell]

I had a tough time thinking what design to incorporate but I agree on the choices of the color palette. Color isn't my strongest suite. Thank you for the critique. I'll definitely play around with the suggestions given. @sterile bane

It definitely made a difference

[sterile bane]

@sturdy vault i think the overlayed texture is subtle, which is good! that keeps it from being distracting. this is nice 😃

[bleak fossil]

@sand current Looking good Emmy! I think the blue color on “cool” is a good choice, but I think the blue could be repeated so the image looks a little more unified. Maybe make the top text a light blue color? Well done 😄

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@uncut shell Love it! I prefer this latest one, I liked the changes you made. Reminds me of the Saved By the Bell intro. Love that 90s feel. I wonder if the letters could use a little something… hard to say. Maybe tilt them back and forth, or make them a bit larger, or a different color/value that contrasts a bit more? Not quite sure, but either way it’s looking really good!

@sturdy vault Really cool! The whole thing has a really cool calming feel and texture, I like it! I wonder if adding some smaller/thinner/lighter background bamboo or leaves could give it a little more depth. Looking good!

@mint sorrel Nice work! The change with the text looks really good. Definitely balances out that visual weight more.

@hazy hornet Very nice! It's cool to see this treatment on two different images, they definitely fit together well. Really great lighting and warm colors. My only suggestion might be to do a levels adjustment to boost the darks a bit. Currently they almost look like older photos with that sort of washed out look you often see, though maybe that's the feeling you're going for. Nice work!

[urban berry]

Hello everyone, here is my Day 1 challenge, feedback is welcome.

[uncut shell]

I am a 90’s kid at heart. That’s too funny I can see Saved by the Bell in this. Thank you for your input. I’ll keep playing around and post it on here when I have a chance. @bleak fossil

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@zinc lava I like the changes you made, gives it a really cool effect! I think you could get a really cool illustrated style if you kept the edges on the mountain sharp like the rest of the image. Might give the whole thing a more consistent look. Here’s a rough example but hopefully you get the idea.
Edit: It might also help to change Mount to something lighter, maybe white?

@white temple Nice shapes in this! Really like the upbeat colors too, fits the theme really well. This is just a random idea, but I'd be curious to see how it would look if the two tones of grass were reversed with the darker tone in the foreground, and the lighter tone in the background. Often times in paintings the foreground has the deeper/darker tones and they get lighter as they go back in space to give a sense of atmospheric perspective. I'm not sure how that would look on this particular image, but it's a thought. Nice work!

Day 2 - Layers

When in doubt, do a quote.

I did a lot of transparency. I think, with a little more time, I could have planned the flames to strategically overlap the letters and it would pop more. I may revisit this.

Man... two posters... two difficult challenges lol. did multiple variations of this and I think I like this simplified one (could have been done a long time ago lol). Any opinions welcomed. Not sure why but I think I like this one better than the next one I'm going to post... More poster ish? too many colours in the other one ?

First version ... not liking it so much. too traditional ? I dunno why, but I think the white bkg one is better. Opinions appreciated. Thanks

Might as well hop on the band wagon. Comments appreciated!

[rare ocean]

I was really inspired by river tables for this one! About 3/4 of the way through I thought of a different way of doing this but I'd love some feedback on this one :) #✂challenges-feedback (still trying to decide if I like the colors together as well, probably will change those up)

[bleak fossil]

@cerulean spruce Nice work Leekay! I get a children's book cover vibe from this one, very cool. I think the colors work really well together. I feel like maybe the text could be given a bit more contrast. I like the thin font you chose, so maybe brightening up the pink of the text a bit to make it pop just a bit more? Looks solid!

Day 02 tried to use Layers and blending modes, feed back should be appreciated

[bleak fossil]

@woeful storm Wow, you nailed it! Great colors, great design, and great use of the geographical map concept. No real suggestions from mean, really solid piece! I think the blue was a great choice to act as a contrasting color.

@fleet pecan Nice work Ricardo! Currently the dark brown is the heaviest point of contrast and pulls a lot of visual weight. I think it could be good to balance it out by darkening some of the lower colors a bit, or perhaps lightening up the brown a bit as well. Darkening 1 or 2 of the center colors might give the text a chance to pop more as well. Well done!

@river harbor Great use of textures and colors on this! There’s a little bit of a tangent going on with your text and the hills. “River” looks like it’s behind the hill, but “Snake” looks more like it’s creating a tangent. Perhaps alternative it by having “Snake” overlap the hill to the left a bit more obviously? It might also ease the tangent the “e” is making as well. Here’s a quick example. Not a big change, but I think it might help.

Day 1 challenge

[bleak fossil]

@valid crow I like the effects, compliments the image nicely!
@pulsar walrus You got some nice depth with all those layers! Nice work 😄

[valid crow]

Thank you🙏🙏🙏

[bleak fossil]

@trail rose Looks great, nice work! Did you use the "Refine Edge Brush Tool" with the quick selection tool on the hair after your initial selection? I find that often does a pretty good job of softening up the edge of the hair and making it look natural. Well done!

@rare ocean Really awesome work on this, it really gets some great depth to the image. I definitely understand the information the image is conveying, but it might be nice to balance out the colors with some of the warm tan color somewhere in the middle/right a bit. Or balance out the areas of less detail (like we see on the bottom left) a bit more. Not sure if that makes sense. Either way, looking really good!

[jolly quest]

@rare ocean excellent work! Loving the river table vibe! The added bit of gradient between the layer adds a really nice depth to it, well done!

@finite hull nice! The chosen phrase adds some good emotion to it all! I would really like to see what it would look like with the text changed to white also! Might contrast a bit with the light off white color but who knows, it could be awesome!

day 02 poster. i wanted to play with having my text overlapping more with my different layers but i felt the poster would look too crowded with my object.

@fringe thicket i like the gradient more than the textures 😃

i didnt really have a direction with this lol

Thanks@high mesa conflicting opinions lol. Are you saying either go more abstract the way it was. But if I add the text then it needs a bkg?

Oh I think you mean the more detailed one.

@high mesa cmon man u got a honest opinion of my version ?

@young karma for me its a little hard to read the first part of creative !

[young karma]

thats what its supposed to be 😉

[high mesa]

@void ermine - before you had a great abstract image, with color, depth and it looked like a kind of 'minecraft - esque' style; it was different and cool. Now, for me, it has lost emphasis on what it was representing, does this make sense. If you like it though, that is all that matters, never make designs to try and please folks, just express your ideas. Hope this helps

@loud zephyr Thank you for your feedback.

@void ermine Take 2 is much better. I like the saying, I will have to try and remember it. 😀

[lilac minnow]

Here's my take on day 3's challenge.

[dreamy hatch]

Hello! Here's my day-3 challenge. I would have needed a few more days if I did a Harry Potter theme.

Creative challenge 2

[coral stone]

Day 03

[young karma]

@young karma I like the concept. What if you chose a different typeface, even if it were something like Digital-7 and then made the shadows much more subtle?

[astral turret]

Why is my image posting at such poor quality?

[silk wind]

Day 03 full framed

[young karma]

Good question. I don't know.

@young karma Also, you know how some designs say something like, "Macy's is going green" and the typography is a green color palette?

@coral stone nice a big meltdown.

[stark swan]

@dreamy hatch love this!

[young karma]

@silk wind I like your design. The frame inside of a frame is always a good idea in my opinion. What is it advertising?

[coral stone]

Thanks @young karma 😃

I love the texture you applied to the sand @silk wind

[silk wind]

@young karma everything is advertising 😉

[young karma]

No, I mean, what beach?

It looks good!

@coral stone That design looks great, by the way! How long did it take?

[coral stone]

Thanks @young karma! It took me 45min I think. I used a photo with low opacity as a guide and made the shapes with the Curvature tool 😃

@coral stone that's a great tip, thanks

@blazing quail I love this! Do you think you'd like it if the text was a little more bold to make it easier to read on-screen?

[sturdy vault]

Poster 3, feedback always welcome. No super happy with curves , however, I know they will take much more practice.

[upbeat laurel]

Paoer cut challenge

[sturdy vault]

@blazing quail I love your scene. I feel the beach.

[young karma]

I worked on a wallpaper that looks somewhat like it could go on a paper background. It looks great as a mobile wallpaper and as a backdrop for my email app. However, how can I polish this piece to make it look higher-end?

[sturdy vault]

@upbeat laurel love the colors and the sea turtle. Very creative.

[blazing quail]

Thank you @dreamy hatch for your suggestion😀 :

[astral turret]

Day 3. Sorry about the poor upload quality, not sure what is going on.

[hot swallow]

@stark swan the first poster I like in day 3 challenge. Keep going 👏

[hearty wharf]

@Fantastic_Spam#3253 he's so cute!!

@astral turret have you tried 'export as ...' you get a preview. good colours!

[young karma]

DAY 3 - CUT PAPER

[fallow bough]

Today's challenge made me think of artwork from Yellow Submarine. Rushed online for live feedback. Still have a bit to do

[astral turret]

@hearty wharf The export looks good on my bechance project, and I did the same thing as I did the last two days and it looked fine.
