Day 5 ✅

[young karma]

Hi @sterile bane . Thank you for your advice. I made the top leaves a bit lighter so that they don't get lost in the maroon color. It is much better. Let me know what you think of it?

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Kathleen

[sterile bane]

Yes, i agree! Much better! And it makes the design feel more delicate.

[trail rose]

@young karma very nice!!!

[zinc lava]

Finally done with my day 5 challenge hope yu'll like it😊 . Feedback welcomed

Loving the puppet warp tool.

[spark wharf]

@young karma I really like your Day 5. Well done.

@outer roost Totally dig your bokeh poster. Love the vibrant reds!

@pulsar walrus I like the green version, myself. 🙂

@sacred aspen I like the colors you used on this poster a lot!

Day 5 plant composite

[coral stone]

I loved the font @prisma raven! What name is it?

[tribal oak]

Combined the Silver Dollar pods with lily of the Valley

[wind jolt]

Took me longer to come up with the name 😂

Loved the puppet warp

[fringe thicket]

Here's my first go on the poster for day 5. I'm having a hard time deciding on the background color... 😅 For now I'll stick with the yellow

Forgot to warp/use puppet warp, will try that tomorrow and maybe also change the background color

@coral stone I think it is Lust, but I'm not sure... 🤔

[wind jolt]

@fringe thicket Those leaves are just waiting for puppet warp 👌

[fringe thicket]

@wind jolt Yeah, you're right, they are 😆 They'll have to wait until tomorrow

[stark swan]

@high mesa This looks like a beautiful Rorschach!

[high mesa]

@stark swan - no, just pattern making; but its the teddy bear that has appeared in the centre which makes me weep

[stark swan]

@pulsar walrus I like the first one, the one with the blue background

[sturdy vault]

#5 Feedback always welcome.

@prisma raven, I really like this. I like the combination of plants you chose.

@queen onyx I love the colors you chose and the flowers.. The frame colors fit in beautifully with the design.

@pulsar walrus I guess it depends on the mood you were going for. They both look good just different moods.

[tall warren]

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of difficulty with the white flowers here. What's the best way to do this? Thanks!

@wind jolt I love your title.

Day 5 - Composite Plants 😬

[sturdy vault]

@onyx rock. I like your composition, 1 plant spliced together.

@tall warren what would it look like if you brought your branches together to make it look more like one plant.

@blazing lily. Interesting composite. Creative. Love how the colors fit together.

[wispy fjord]

I used photographs of vintage embroidery to create a completely made-up floral embroidery. This is exciting. I am really seeing potential in this workflow - to both create new pattern and transform vintage textile into brand new composition.

[spark wharf]

@sturdy vault love what you created for day 5

[void ermine]

Alright. So I decided to make my own drawings for this. Hopefully I pulled it off. I'm curious what anyone things of this subject matter wise or compositionally or whateverilly. I'm not sure it will stay this way, but for now it is what it is. The only thing I don't really like is that I didn't get to use the puppet mask which was suuuper cool. So I'll have to try that with something else.

[sturdy vault]

Thank you @spark wharf . you are very kind.

[high mesa]

@tall warren - great work, they only thing I would say, is look at the gap on the left between the border and the branch and look at the right side; the balance is slightly offset. Maybe use the puppet tool to raise the stem so there is a similar sized gap?

[tall warren]

@high mesa thank you! I will try that ☺

My day 4 poster with the boyfriend as a victim for this challenge this time hahaha

Day 5 - composite plant. This was a difficult one for me - I wanted to stay with my theme of using elements only found in the area in which I live. Unfortunately, finding suitable plant elements proved almost impossible. I finally settled on a combination of heather and the sunflower (which do grow around here) and a plant from the adobe stock library.

Hi, Here is DAY3 & DAY4 . I brushed up. how do you think ?

[hasty coral]

finally finished. loved this challange

[lunar abyss]

Day 3 was hard for me. Wondering if I should change the black to dark grey so that the paper texture comes through better.

Really hard to come up with an idea for Day 4 but I'm happy with the results. I wasn't able to mask the leg out from in front of the text so I just erased. Wondering if that is a limitation with working with live text, or just user error. 😅

what can you utilize from that chat?

[elfin helm]

Feedback of course.

[runic pendant]

oh so.... im sure no one would be mad for you asking for feedback in a feedback chat

[elfin helm]

I'd love a separate chat for things not daily challenge related. I feel like this chat gets used mainly for the daily challenges and I don't want to disrupt the flow with something off topic.

For any moderators listening^

Hi @elfin helm, you can use the #💬chat-general tab 😃

Okay. I know I need to work on the mask around the subject. The lace over the eyes is bothering me. What in the world is missing from it? (Just noticed I need to change 05 to 06. Ooops.)

[kindred kernel]

Little Change😃

[hearty wharf]

@spark wharf it's looking great - but maybe you could cut the eyes out so it looks more like a mask than a tattoo? very cool though, i thought you might go for something knitted!

[timid pasture]

Day 5... I used some graphic elements I had on hand (purchased at Renderosity) to make this playful plant. I'd plant a garden if I could grow a few of these... Feedback welcome.

[vale socket]

Hi @sacred aspen I am a fan of the photo collage and the "Melt" versions. For anything that involves type I would say revisit it from different angles. Did you use the liquify tool in photoshop to distort this font? If so try have 3 other versions to see your results.

[spark wharf]

@hearty wharf Ha! You would think I would go for something more knitted but I couldn't find anything I liked. I was going for more of a eye covering than mask or tattoo. I see I missed the mark there. Maybe I will try to cut out the eyes for a mask look. That is a good idea. I'm going to think about that for a bit. Thank you!

@timid pasture Did you mean to intentionally do an homage to the victorian era? If not, you should research it and I think you'll find a lot to love 🙃 ! This design is very much Art Nouveau , try finding fonts of that time period to give this piece a stronger historic sensibility.

@fallow bough i like it a lot - but it looks rather dangerous. will they fit trough??

[fallow bough]

@hearty wharf Imagined it as just starting to break through. I had a version with it fully open and it made the bike look like it behind the break instead of coming through.

Original bits

@fallow bough yep, i get it - it's a very strong bike! thanks for sharing the original stuff - very cool what you've done with it

[tulip fern]

Looks great @fallow bough ! It has a lot of movement and tension. I like it a lot!

No break through here but a break out of the oil lamp.

[sacred aspen]

@vale socket i actually uses the wave distort! I didn’t even consider the liquify effect but now I’m interested to see how that would look, so I’m gonna give a try when I get home today

@fallow bough I love that you used fencing instead of the lace, I was trying to think of something as cool as the lace idea

[tulip fern]

@spark wharf maybe if you remove some of the lace from the eyebrows and the eyes and pinch it (with the liquify tool) on the bridge of the nose and in the corner of the eyes that might help to get a better feel of the lace being layered on her face?

[young karma]

Can't decide which I like best

[forest aspen]

This is way edgier than my usual work. While I often think that I know as much or more about PS than the presenters, there is always the chance I'll learn a new way to do something, and I generally end up with work out of my comfort zone. That's a good thing for any artist.

DAY 4- Waiting for feedback🙄

[runic pendant]

dont stretch the pic, change the outline

[sick flame]

@small copper Cool texture effects! I like them. I also am a fan of the colour choices in this poster as well as the composition. One thing I might suggest is to take a look at your layer with the woman on it as she looks a bit squished/distorted. Other than that it looks cool.

[dawn mountain]

Day 4: Is the border too bright being white? And is there too much texture in the background? 😅 💜

[runic pendant]

when does the next challenge come out? what time zone?

[sick flame]

@dawn mountain No, I like it how it is! The white looks good. I think the texture is fine too. Good colour scheme. 😃

[timid pasture]

Here's my day 6... Lovely Tempestt was rendered in DAZ Studio. BG from Unsplash. I used 2 layers for the lace curtains so I could get each side positiond with her hands properly with the liquify filter (I love liquify!). I made a solid color layer above the lace and clipped it to the lace layer. I made a new layer above that to paint the light / dark areas on the lace, and clipped it to the lace layer as well. I duplicated the lace layer, added a mask of Tempestt, and used multiply and a bit of liquify for the lace shadow on her body. Feedback welcome.

@raven atlas ooooooh! nicely done!

@raven atlas to take the poster to the next level, I think you could adjust the background so it matches the foreground more closely 😃

[uncut valley]

Not sure about the lace color

[glacial path]

The Camera Raw Filter has a color temperature slider - it should do the trick 😃

[raven atlas]

@glacial path
I'm on it!

[glacial path]

awesome!

@uncut valley the lace color looks fine but the background is a bit off. maybe you can pick a contrast-y color to complement the warm tones of the birds 😃

@granite goblet nice detail with the L 😃

@severe flame lol! What a great idea 😄 I wish you would add something in the background. could be a subtle texture or another photo 😃

@harsh helm I like the look with the off color shadows and the yellow stripes! you should try out different blending modes or you could reduce the fill (not opacity) to play with the effect 😉

[raven atlas]

@timid pasture
Thanks a lot!
I'll certainly be using Liquify a Lot more, now!
Actually, I've learned so much in a very short space of time. Didn't realise making a brush pattern was so darned easy! That's how I did the musical notes. I already had an idea how powerful layer masking was... just didn't realise how powerful!

[harsh helm]

@glacial path Yeah it definitely does need more experimentation. I am hoping to fix it up when I manage to catch up 😅 I plan to anyways cause it could use a bit more tweaks or editing. I was playing around with some blending modes earlier, there definitely potential to work a few of the others into it so I will keep working on it. Thank you for the feedback.

[timid pasture]

@raven atlas Yeah, brushes are easy to make, and it's always a blast just playing with them, and seeing what you can do with them. And yes, Liquify is awesome. Don't know if you saw my Day 6 post, but the liquify tool made positioning the lace curtains a breeze. Good stuff. I've been using PS for a long time, but still learning new stuff all the time - which these challenges are great for!

[sturdy vault]

Feed back please. Breaking out.

Oh wow! That is really nice! It's as if the netting was really there and she was really holding them apart! You know the best part? It's not what you use; it's how you use it. You did it very well.
Very nice work!

@digital pollen Nice job creating the mesh. This is very intriguing.

Day 5

Day 4

[wispy fjord]

I am going for the romance novel look. Victorian lace and mysterious sideway glance.

[woeful storm]

@digital pollen amazing work!

[high mesa]

Concheta...its a bit experimental

[coral stone]

@fallow bough I loved your poster! ❤

You can use the warp (ctrl + T > right click > warp) if you want to warp the fence's pieces a little more 😃

[bleak fossil]

@tall warren Really loving those muted colors! I like the way you balanced the visual weight of the image, it works well. If possible, I'd try to separate the tallest flower from the background a bit more, currently the values kind of blend together and the right side loses a bit of visual weight as a result. I think that small tweak would help. Nice work :D
@onyx rock Wow, very nice! Very cohesive and illustrated feel to this. Are these photos that you applied a more illustrated filter to? Very nice feel to in this image.
@wispy fjord That's really cool! Did you mesh together different original images to create that design? Well done. It all fits together very nicely. I feel like the text could read better at a glance. Perhaps increasing the contrast between the text and the background could help a bit.

[timid pasture]

@raven atlas Thank you for the kind words! It was a lot of fun putting that together. I'll try to make the livestream (for a change) for Day 7. Wonder what @sterile bane has up her sleeve for this one! 😁

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to Ess

[tall warren]

@bleak fossil Thanks Sam! Yes I agree, I was having a hard time getting rid of the white background since the white flowers' color is so close to it, so I just used the multiply blending. Is there a good way to get rid of the white background in my case? Thank you again!

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

Nice, I use multiply all the time. Have you tried the quick select too?

If the contrast is enough it should be able to select just the white

[tall warren]

Yes I tried the quick select, but because the two colors are too similar, it's not picking up :/ I'll try change the contrast then select, maybe that will help 😄

[timid pasture]

Had a great idea from @vale socket about finding a more Victorian style font. I googled it, and found a few nice ones - this was one of my favorites. What do you think? 😉

[loud zephyr]

Day 5 challenge. I couldn't think of a bouquet to make, so I threw this together instead.....

[fiery trail]

Hey guys !😀 I just completed the photoshop challenge Day 6 Should I add something into the background of the subject to give my image another interesting element? Like how Kathleen did her image with the number 7 in the upper left corner?🤔

[finite hull]

Oh man, trust me I tried my best on this one. Hopefully I won't use transform or puppet warp on such difficult things as plants, haha.

Did I just forget to change the number...it is number 05. 🤦

[queen flower]

day 5 challenge give me feedback

[sick flame]

@queen flower cool concept! love the idea.

one thing I would suggest is to make the little V shape at the top the same weight/thickness as the triangle at the bottom. Maybe add some colour to the word Hydrangea if you want. Looks good this way tho!

[sick flame]

Day 6 🔴

[woeful storm]

Day 6 done.

[tulip fern]

Very cool @sick flame ! Pleasing to my eyes 😃 The only thing that I can think of tweaking is changing the poster number to the same tint of grey as you have in the upper right. Unless of course you want it to stick out from the rest.

[high mesa]

@woeful storm - awesome image; let's open the debate who thinks the hat should sit inside the border cropped underneath it or as it is, sitting above? Its all about taste I am outside the border as it is!

[tulip fern]

I realy love your poster @queen flower . Especially the contrast of forms is super cool! The soft round flows of the flower against the hard square graphic elements.

I vote for outside @high mesa and indeed a great creation @woeful storm !

[wispy fjord]

@wind jolt I think the movement of the lace works very well. You might consider playing around with the insect a bit.

@ruby panther I think the color scheme could be o.k. Consider changing the color on the guy's t-shirt. From a distance, his head is the most visible and it takes a while to figure out he has a body.

@sick flame I like the thoughtfulness of your subject. The red/white color works well too.

[vale socket]

@digital niche haha yes, but it says something about the waves in the summer, plus I really dig the dimension you added with the shadows. I would say the word "Summer" in that stark black is a bit out of place. Maybe try a complimentary color to the rest of your palette.

@onyx rock I know that feeling of needing to move on from a piece. But if we learn anything is that nothing is ever final.psd so see this as progress. I personally like the distortion and the color palette you put together.

Here's my second poster for day 5 (working on Day 6 poster and I hope to catch up tonight). This one is more subtle in colors and composition than my first one I think. Also I forgot to use puppet warp on the first one, but obviously used it here 😆 The difference in quality/resolution between the flowers and the branch adds to the surreal feel I wanted to achieve, I hope I succeeded in that.
Would like to get feedback

Day 6: First Draft. Would love to hear #feedback with this. Thank you!

Day 6: Second version with this. I'm questioning the "focal point" in this piece because of all the patterns. Would appreciate #feedback!

[spark wharf]

@lilac minnow I am a big fan of pattern. That being said, maybe take the opacity way down of the blue flowers in the top, fade to white at the bottom and leave the image to stand on it's own. Great image, btw. Maybe even try the red from the tat as the bkg just barely there.

Day 7 - Gradient

[frozen junco]

Day 7. Went a slightly different direction by using a monument with a storm background. Does it work? Do I need more gradients?

[torpid sinew]

Dramatic Poster, #feedback welcome!

[harsh charm]

@lilac minnow I love how you have blend the pattern into the skin, well done!
There a lot of going on with all the patterns, (me my self is more to minimalistic in my expressions.) maybe you should tone down with less bold pattern?

[coral stone]

@torpid sinew Loved how you made the text overlap using the fog. Great job!

[noble glen]

How is it now @dav 😅

[young karma]

The cut is still not very good. Is that supposed to be a fish?

Something like that.

And then select and mask.

And you can edit the cut from there! :)

[coral stone]

@noble glen maybe you can try to add some transparency around the part that is above the water. See how the fish seems to be "fading" as the body goes deep in the river?

[young karma]

Yeah! Great idea, @coral stone. 😊

I mean it's not exactly a landscape, but part of a landscape 😄

[sterile bane]

@young karma wow! how did you create the flower within the jar? very interesting technique

[young karma]

I love that!

@sterile bane I drew the flower on paper, so I had an idea of what I want to do. and I just made custom shapes with the pen tool and filled it with gradients 😄

You could definitely do that professionally.

It looks amazing.

@harsh charm the goal is to have all 9 done by the end of this weekend, but there's really no time-limit! The goal is to eventually have a finished project for your portfolio and some new skills 😃

[tulip fern]

I hope this is dramatic enough 😇 . I did make use of the gradient tool in different ways: "stiching parts together", darkening some highlights and getting some color back from the black-and-white adjustment layer by swiping gradients in on the afj layer mask. All images I used are my own, I will add them FYI.

Nice job @unreal hornet! My only suggestion is to brighten up a little bit the word "MY" so you can increase the contrast and make more legible. 😃

@sturdy vault Nice work on Day 7. You might consider playing with the red letters. The "T" in particular is a bit hard to find. Also, I really like that this one building on the lower right hand corner is a bit lighter than the rest. My imagination is taking me there. Perhaps there's an opportunity to tease even more??

@strange jacinth I love the font, title and overall feel of your day 7 poster. This makes me want to know the story behind it. Nice work

@young karma Nice work. I love the dude, the background and the big red font. My only feedback would be to work with the placement of the letters because it took me a second to read the word DJANGO. Unless it's your intention to have a play on word, in which case, it works great.

[coral stone]

@wispy fjord Amazing work, I loved it! 😍 If you want, of course, you can reduce a little bit the size of the "07" or maybe change to a subtle color, Right now I believe it's catching more attention than the main text 😃

@plush osprey Thank you- I'd like to say it is, but it isn't. It's probably some crazy form of strep or something. I don't have tonsils so the fact that I still get strep often is a testament to my throat's hatred of what I have to say lol.

[glacial path]

@prisma raven wow! really cool 😄 I just wish this shape would align with the natural curve present in the background

@fleet pecan Yeeeees! the high-contrast rocks are a great eyecatcher! I like the grain on the mountains in the background - you should also apply it to the clouds

@fleet pecan if you don't know how to apply realistic grain to a layer, check out my protip https://www.behance.net/gallery/78746469/Photoshop-Protip-Realistic-Grain-in-Camera-Raw 😃

@fleet pecan lol, this poster is AWESOME 😄 The expression of his face - priceless 👌 . I think you could pick another color than this green. It looks very saturated compared to the rest of the poster. you could also add a subtle canvas texture to the otherwise texture-less spots

@raven atlas The colors are almost there! Just two things to think about: the clocktower face is brighter than the sun, I think it should probably be the other way around. And the shadows of the foreground are very red (which makes sense) but the shadows of the building are rather blue-ish. I think you could take out the blue or add more green and red 😃

and like people already mentioned, the grain in the trees is quite noticeable. You could either try to denoise the entire image or just go with a different one 😃

[plush osprey]

@white temple Why not double down on your usual take-good-care-of-yourself. That and some cold ice cream 😉

[woeful storm]

Day 7. 2 concepts... let me know watcha think!

[bleak fossil]

@cerulean spruce Some nice contrast between Day 4 and 5! Really like the bold colors and texture of Day 4, as well as how you handled the masking of the textures overlapping the figure. I like the simple design and visual balance of Day 5. Looking solid!
@sick flame Really liking the light monochromatic feel of this! Did you use the smudge or liquify tool for some of the texture? Looks nice! The little pin at the top is a nice touch too.
@short mica Wow, this is a pretty crazy image. Really interesting. Really love that abstract/textural background. It kind of depends what you're going for, but It might be nice to ease off the texture a little bit on the figure to separate him from the background a bit more. As it is there's a lot of visual noise happening everywhere. Perhaps get rid of the warped areas of his legs, or if you want to go that direction you could push it even further. Give it more warp and pull in a direction, and maybe almost have the bottom of him melting/warping into abstractness. The way there's just a little of it at the moment reads a bit oddly. Just some thoughts, really cool images and great colors!

@fallow bough Looking good Ken! On small tweak that I think could help would be to maybe darken down the outside of the chain link fence, currently the lighting seems uniform across the whole fence. Though when zoomed out you kind of get that effect since the background and fence values sort of visually blend together a bit. Nice work!
@sturdy vault Really cool, I like the sense of perspective you got in the image! A couple suggestions that might look cool would be to mask off the texture ont he child and elephant to separate them from the background a bit. It might also be cool to see another square patch of grass underneath the elephants lead leg. Give it an addition feeling of perspective and seeing repeated elements done in 3s often work well. Well done Pfordie!

@digital pollen Really nice! This has a cool style to it. Nice composition and colors, really consistent look! Everything is so smooth currently, it could be a nice contrast to pop out the subjects in the center by adding a bit of a texture to the background. Nice work!
@high mesa Great colors and textures! Really gives the image a bold feel. It might be nice to leave the text without a texture to separate it from the figure a bit more. Though that's a minor difference. Perhaps a thinner border might give it a more elegant feel and not compete with the center as much.
@wispy fjord Ooh, looks good! I like the lace look you have going with it. I think it may balance the whole image a bit more if you get some of that lace pattern on the right side like the rest of the border has. Maybe just a small part showing at least, it’s nice to have a little of that clear visual space for the eye to rest.

[woeful storm]

@sand current your design is so pleasing to the eyes. Well done!👌

@bleak fossil thanks, I will play with it. Somehow I lost the grass under my grandson. I will play with it under the elephant or him. I will also play with texture. I wasn't sure about how much texture to lose so I had the elephant beginning to break out.

@bold valley I love it! Just a quick thing- do you mean "existential" threat? Also, I think the poster number is kind of hard to read, and if you're looking for a little more drams, you could possibly add more of a contrast or shadow to the "layer" between the desert floor and sky.

[fiery trail]

Hello everyone!😀 can anyone provide me feedback on my work? any advice would really help. I also have a quick question to ask should I try to place the text in the middle? cause I feel that it's leaning too close to the left.

[bleak fossil]

@woeful storm I'm really liking these images for Day 7! I really like how you handled the pink accent color and the masking. The masking is done in a way which is fairly bold and really draws some nice focus. Very nice visual balance in terms of shapes and contrast on both images as well.

@bold valley Very nice, really digging this dramatic and somewhat surreal image for Day 7! Loving the vibe. The text is a cool effect, though I think the spacing/angle between the A and F in “after” as well as the E and N in “exentential” could use some adjusting. Also, did you mean “existential”? Just a small spelling issue. Seems like some of the other letters could use some fine tuning too if you want to push it any further. Looking good!

[woeful storm]

@bleak fossil thank you so much 😃.

@fiery trail Love the contrast in this image! Really cool feel with the black and white and the yellow is a cool pop of color. Though perhaps the saturation could be tweaked down slightly? I do feel like the visual weight is a bit heavy to the left, but I think it could be cool to move the word "Rise" to the right a bit, and the word "Up" down and to the right behind the other rocks as well as make it bigger to make it look like it’s closer. Here's a really crude paint-over to show what I mean. Though it may not be the best example of where to place each letter, I like how you had the variation with the letters being higher and lower.

@fringe thicket You got some nice contrast going on with this image! The bottom shapes you used on the cut out of the girl seems a little odd. It's an interesting shape, but almost doesn't feel deliberate enough since it's mostly hidden. It might be a cool choice that would add some interest in shape and depth if you extended her lower half below the netting. Make her shape break out a little more and feature that curved design a bit more prominently. Just a thought, well done!

[rare ocean]

Here it is with the greenish/yellow number, I think that stands out a little bit better.

[fallow bough]

@bleak fossil I agree. I worked landscape and then cropped the image to fit the poster. The shading I did on the fence was lost to the cropping.

Day 5. Lots of funky tools in Photoshop that I have never used! The flower means "Mar's weed" in Japanese.

[raven atlas]

@glacial path
Many thanks for the feedback.. Here's the thing.: image is a composite of three images. Interestingly, the foreground was the only one not taken night time; in fact, I made that shot at about 4om on a sunny June Sunday. The clocktower (St Pancras) was an early morning shot (the clock face(s) are illuminated) and the sun is actually the moon..
Why did I just tell you all this.... probably because I should've told myself before setting out on this crazy idea! Then maybe I wouldn't have. But I started, so I'll finish!

Day 4

Day 5

And Day 6

[bleak fossil]

@wicked nexus Haha, very nice! I’m liking the idea. It took me a few seconds to actually realize what I was looking at. It might help to make the who bigger, or have the chickens head actually popping out by masking out the fencing around the top of the chicken’s head and beak.

@sand current Really cool! I think the bold blue might be a little overpowering at the moment? Maybe toning down the saturation might make it harmonize more with the desert colors? I also feel like the image is missing something... an object of interest, another shape, or something in the foreground like a snake for example. It just seems like it needs a bit more of a focal point aside from the text to make it really grab the viewer. Just some thoughts. But I’m liking that background gradient and that hazy look!

@prisma raven Really interesting imagery on this, kind of a trippy feeling of perspective going on! That gradient is looking really nice too, definitely draws the eye

[lunar abyss]

Puppet Warp is so cool! I played around with it, but didn't end up using it with this one. Nice new trick though!

[bleak fossil]

@past crag Nice! Often times a subtle gradient or adjustment is all you need to do the trick. I would recommend trying to darken down the text for “Green” to get the effect of it being back lit as well as applying a small blur to the cast shadow. I think both of those might set the text in the scene even more. Nice work Nick!

@fleet pecan Day 6 and 7 are looking good! Love the expression of the dog in Day 6. In Day 7. I like how you’re getting that hazy look in the mountains but I’d try going a little softer on the effect as it currently looks a little unnatural. And maybe make the gradation a little more gradual. I think in such a dark image a little will go a long way.

@raven atlas Really cool! I think it's good you know what you're going for, definitely helps you understand more about the process and what you need to learn. I think currently the level of focus and lighting doesn't fit as well as it could. The environment is quite dark and not very sharp, whereas the building is a lot less blurry/sharper and much lighter which makes it a bit more out of place. Perhaps use a levels adjustment to brighten the landscape ever so slightly, and even blur the building just a tiny tiny bit, or use some sort of noise overlay. I also think you could try toning down the deepest darks around the far bushes and the building. Lightening up the deepest darks slightly should give it a sense of atmospheric perspective and haze. Not sure if you saw the streams with Brooke Shaden earlier this week but she's great at this kind of stuff. https://www.behance.net/live/videos/2921/Creative-Business-Protips-with-Brooke-Shaden-1-of-2

@rare ocean Really cool, that's a great picture of you two! I love what you did with the lunch bag too, breaking that frame really gives it a bit more flair. Nice work!

[past crag]

@bleak fossil thanks for the feedback! I'll mess around with your suggestions.

[nimble shard]

Gave +1 Creative Carma to SamPetersonArt

[bleak fossil]

@sturdy vault Love it! Really digging those changes, I feel like they really add something. My only little suggestion might be to match the perspective to what you already have established. The front grass patch matches the boy and elephant really well, but the back grass patch looks tilted. Maybe something more like this?

@wispy fjord Great job, this turned out to be a really cool image. That sky definitely it a dramatic and ominous feel! I feel like the ground is almost a little too bright to fit in with the lighting of the sky and rest of the scene. Maybe just tweak it down ever so slightly? I don’t think much is needed. Well done!

@young karma Really cool spooky and dramatic lighting in that image! I don't know if the placement of the font seems to fit with the rest of the image, though I like how it adds a bit of color. Fonts aren't my area of expertise, but maybe something a little more angular to fit the theme of the building, and perhaps not tilted back and forth, which reads more as playful to me. Thought that's just my first impression. Nice job!

@runic pendant Great image! That purple and yellow color contrast really creates some great contrast. I think the mountain on the right most side is pulling a bit too much focus as the moment with how bright and yellow it is. It might be nice to darken it down a bit and maybe add some of the purple haze to tone it down. Its competing a bit with the text at the moment. I think perhaps a thicker text could work to pull more focus too. Really nice work 😄

@valid crow Really nice, great colors in this! It's a bit of a nitpick but I feel like the plant in the bottom right could be smaller in size. It might balance more by not being the same exact size as the green plant next to it, and will tone down the visual weight on the right side which I think will create a better balance. Very subtle but might help. Looks great!

@minor vine Interesting colors and textures. For Day 4 That red/orange really creates a strong, bold image. Currently I think it might be better to show more of the figure or have it a complete silhouette. Right now I don't think a few key points of hair showing adds much to it. Though perhaps you could show the whole figure (without the texture affecting it) but just darken it down a lot so he seems very dimly lit. Just some ideas. The other images are looking great, solid work!

@cold cedar Really love the effect you went for on this image, works very nicely! The colors also compliment each other very well, nice soft and warm hues. I did notice that the paper ripping effect is lost a bit on those soft feathered edges on the bottom of the top tear, and the top of the bottom tear. Though this also gives it a slightly surreal/dream like feel and perhaps that’s what you were going for. Looking good!

I'm only on day 3 but hoping to catch up. Feedback is welcome!

[white temple]

@bold gorge looks great! I would make sure there is enough drop shadow in front of the "S" and the "&", so that it looks like they are paper layers, if that makes sense. I also am wondering if "Hills and Valleys" works if there are very spiky and peaky mountains in the composition, but I can't come up with another phrase. Just some things to think about.

[bold gorge]

@white temple thank you! I didn't even noticed how small the drop shadows on some letters looked so I will def fix that. And I see, I guess the right phrase would be "Mountains & Valleys" instead haha

[river harbor]

I agree @lunar abyss , sometimes I have to wait for the inspiration to hit. Almost like the lack of rules and guidelines is the biggest challenge.

[bleak fossil]

@blissful wolf Nice work BeaNeto, looking solid! I think it might help to simplify the color/values of the texture on the lower left of the kid’s sweatshirt. Currently the texture/color contrast is drawing the eye in a confusing way. I think simplifying it to be more of a solid color will keep the face and eyes as a solid focal point. Really liking the color scheme of this image!
@lunar abyss For sure! The Warp and Puppet Warp tools have so much potential they can be used for. Though of course for your image I think too much curvature would look unnatural. Great tool to have though. Really loving the simplicity of this one, color works with it nicely as well!

@red verge Love it! Really cool to see your source images too, really helps see the process you used. Very nice job compositing them all together, looks quite seamless. I really like what you did with the text masking as well, though I currently think the V makes a bit of a confusing tangent with the post next to it. I'm not sure if there's an easy adjustment to be made so the V doesn't line up with the post near the edge so much, but just a thought. Images came out great!

@magic rampart the "and" could be a bit smaller IMO, if you have to add transparency to make it readable you're probably better of just scaling it down 😃 The Sky is lovely - if you can somehow darken this part of the sea (it would be dark because of the sky) - it would tie the whole thing together

@void ermine I think it's a great start! You could try wrapping some vines around the light pole!

I love the text you put on there, @split frigate. It's really nice!

[zinc lava]

Finally done with my day 8, hope you like it. Would really love to here your feedback.

Day 8 - Just to see if anyone could get the idea...

[blissful badge]

This is a poster for a book I like. I have lots of layers that I ended up turning off to make it more simple.

[grand dove]

Thanks @young karma I tried with a darker outline, it makes the text and photo more in focus 😃 @void ermine I'm very fortunate to live close to mountains! Haha I was worried it wouldn't read right but I liked the placement of the words on that one. The other version I made might work better?

:D

@sterile bane thx! It was a personal design I did for fun for D-Day and the flowers were a separate illustration I did for a musical artist a couple months back. I decided to merge them and make a design that way. Appreciate the creative challenge. Really have learned a lot

[blissful badge]

Here is another version....just playing around some more.

[zinc lava]

@blissful badge nice design I love it, but maybe you can try adding the prints behind the deers just to add more depth to it

[blissful badge]

Thanks @zinc lava . I removed some of the tracks to give the illusion... they were actually on the bottom already.

@blissful badge this looks much better now

[cold cedar]

@scenic forge Just now I was scrolling and I felt like your poster actually moved — like it was 3D. That was cool. I did a few times just to see. Very nice!👏

[timid pasture]

@fallow bough suggested brighter text, and I agree it was a little hard to read. I also used a different font. I was trying to decide whether to leave it at the bottom, or move it to the top. So I did both. I'd be interested in which you all prefer...

Here's the second version.

@sterile bane - You're the Grapics Guru 😁 - what 'cha think?

Now, to get day 8 done...

[lilac minnow]

@uncut shell So pretty! Great design

[timid pasture]

I HAD to stick a Fell Beast in there someplace..... 😉

[sick flame]

@timid pasture I feel like your type is sticking out an awful lot. Comic Sans is perhaps not a good choice for most things in my opinion, but especially for something medieval like Lord of The Rings. I went back and saw your original typeface and I think it was a lot more suitable for the subject matter. I think you should keep something like the original, but with the positioning like your most recent version, with the text at the top. Just my opinion though! Cool detail with the beast in the background. 👌

[timid pasture]

@sick flame I didn't think that was comic sans, but looking at it now, it is similar... Too much coffee today (or not enough... 😉). I try to avoid CS like the plague.. Let's see what I can find...

[sick flame]

@timid pasture haha yeah, looks a lot like Comic Sans MS Bold to me. As long as you don't switch it to Comic Sans Regular you should be better off 😂

[cold cedar]

@timid pasture Hi. Like your image. Is this a composite with a separate sky? I am thinking the mountain could use some contrast, perhaps, a levels adjustment? The rocks have so much character that seems muted, unless that is your intent. Then, right on.

[timid pasture]

@sick flame GAH! It was CS.... What was I thinking? Where's my coffee? 😂 Anyway... Here's the latest with an Old English font... Hopefully, J.R.R. would approve! 😁

@cold cedar Yeah, it's a composite of 2 photos - the closer , somewhat lighter formations in the foreground, and the darker formations and sky in the BG. I wnted to keep it alittle muted and 'Mordor-ish' but I might bump the contrast and darken the foreground a tad..

[lucid moss]

comic sans!!!! ❌

[sick flame]

@timid pasture much better! haha

[cold cedar]

@timid pasture Googled Mordor images and I see what you mean. Some are very muted.

[vale socket]

@zinc lava I may be bias because I love kitties. Haha! I would take a second look at the typography hierarchy. The title and the subtitle seem to be at the same level of importance from the sizing. Also consider padding or breathing room on the top and bottoms of each line. the more you pay careful attention to these small details, the more it will appear effortlessly beautiful.

[tulip fern]

Here is my Day 08 entry. The cat in the image I have been using this whole challenge is Grigio. He became our cat at 8 weeks old, he was found on the streets together with 3 siblings but without a mother. The first 8 weeks he was taken care of by de Dierenbescherming (the Dutch Animal Protection). So hereby some spotlight for the good work they do.

[sick flame]

@tulip fern from afar it looks like a Cat Tornado. 😂

[timid pasture]

I muted the foreground a bit, and selectively darkened some of the formations in the BG to push them back a little bit.. I like it even better.. Thanks for all the great feedback! 👍 I shall now go and do pennance for not paying attention and using comic sans... Please.. No floggings today... My vines have tender grapes... 🤣

[vale socket]

@sick flame I am really enjoying the movie feels of this poster. It instantly reminded me of some of my favorite movies, Metropolis, Vertigo, Blade Runner🎥 . I like the red overprint because its imitating print 🖨 but I think the title "The City" is out of place. Try making the full title vertical. Currently it reads as "Road outta the city" but it took me some time to sort out in which order I should read each word.

Day 8 design a poster

[timid pasture]

@sick flame I really like the 'Road Outta the City' poster! Good use of leading lines. 👍

[vale socket]

@timid pasture @lucid moss Don't get me started on Comic Sans...👽 One lesson I've taken from Comic Sans' unpopularity is that as Graphic Designers 💻 its our role to make elements work, they can't always arrive in a golden platter, ready to beautify our design💅 . Comic Sans won't do all the work for you in this case because it doesn't fit this poster. In fact it makes it look like a parody🃏 , but if thats what you were after I would suggest not to just disregard this font at face value, it can come in handy when parody is what you're after.

After all, its history of infamy is universal, use it when it fits 👌

[harsh helm]

Messed up, was meant to be doing Day 7 but i realised I didnt use any gradients by the time I finished what I was doing so its just another Day 4 😂

[vale socket]

@grand dove Great Play on hiding the words behind the mountains. One great aspect of 2d design is when the viewer is able to detect a feeling more dimension. This is a great way to do that.👽 💯

[vale socket]

@harsh helm But gradients are so fun...🙃

[harsh helm]

They are, I just forgot to use them because I kept trying to make the image look right. I was using them for most of the design and then I just cut them out when I changed the entire idea so now it uses none haha

[lilac minnow]

@harsh helm Love the use of the texture here

[harsh helm]

@lilac minnow Thank you ^-^

[timid pasture]

@vale socket I used it for a long time in my webcomic - mainly because it seemed to be easy to read. then I found out about its unpopularity, and I'm now using a different font. It's still easy to read, and now all the graphic artists out there have stopped throwing rotten fruit at me.. 😂. It's called Houschka Rounded Demibold - I think it might even be an Adobe font.. Live and learn..

Now, let's see if I can put something decent together for day 8! Spoiler alert.... It won't have snakes.... 😁

[vale socket]

@timid pasture I think you had a good instinct there to use it on webcomic, it does have that kid - handwriting element to it. I would just go in and play with the kerning, leading, breathing space... The poor font needs a little help of course 🤓 I love going against the grain and trying the things others don't dare to change.

I don't recall anyone going down in history for throwing rotten tomatoes🍅 , but I have heard of the changers and shakers that have 😉

[wispy fjord]

Holy Guac. I struggled mightily with this one, messed up my workflow and had to come up with a way to recover my work. Yikes. It's Thursday night. Done. I am going for ice cream and calling it a day.

[vale socket]

@harsh helm it's hard to see the tittle... Try creating a hierarchy with the two words. The word Rosea has potential with a more interesting font. Look for a complimenting font that imitates or resembles the flower itself.

@wispy fjord 🍦 yumm ice cream.... haha sorry you distracted me🙃 . I really like the turnout of this one actually. Everything has a hierarchy even through its a chaotic scene. I don't know why but my eye keeps seeing a thread 〰 in between the scissors flying about. It could be an interesting element to add to this fantasy- like space you've created✨

[distant meteor]

This is my day 8 design. Let me know what ya think!

[void ermine]

Take 2... of day 6... still playing catch up this week!

[sick flame]

@distant meteor Really awesome piece, dude. Very professional looking. You have a great grasp on how to successfully create a visually striking typographic hierarchy. The colour palette is nice too. One thing I noticed is the underside of the fish looks a little...weird to me. As if part of it is missing. There's also a very subtle large grid pattern on the fish. Was this intentional? These things are very small nitpicks because the piece is fantastic overall. Good job!

[coral stone]

Amazing fonts choice @distant meteor! Loved your poster ❤

[bleak fossil]

@timid pasture Hah, nice work Rod. The edits are looking good! Currently there’s a lot of brightness and empty space at the bottom of the image. I think a simple gradient on a multiply layer could be used to darken down the foreground a bit to pull more contrast into the sky. I think you could even brighten up the sky slightly and lighten up the dragon silhouette to sell that atmospheric perspective effect a bit more. Here’s a quick example. Looking good!

@harsh helm Very nice! You have some really nice shapes going on with your flowers, looking good! Day 7 is looking good too, perhaps there could be some kind of gradient you use at the top that fades downwards to get the top a bit more brightness? Maybe almost a colored galaxy effect? Might put a little more visual weight at the top to balance the heavy weight of the red at the bottom. Just a thought. Nice work on these!

@wispy fjord Hah, nice work! Gotta get that well deserved ice cream. On the bright side there is often a lot of experience and lessons learned to be gained from those pieces that we struggle with. Really loving the style and simple color scheme in this! The only suggestion I might have to perhaps try getting a little more variety in the size of your scissors to strengthen that visual hierarchy. Looks good though!

@prisma raven Very solid design! Love the way you handled the graphic shapes and text. The color and shape of the snake work perfectly to act as a focal point. The design of it looks like it could work really well as a book cover. Very well done Jeff.

[distant meteor]

Thanks for the awesome feedback @sick flame good spotting. I must've missed the selection on the subject.

[bleak fossil]

@tulip fern Love it! My girlfriend and I foster cats and work with a rescue so this really cool to see. I really like that effect you’re using and how it fades into abstraction a bit. It could be cool to see if effect less strongly around the cats’s head so you start to see more of it’s normal shape which might act as a nice focal point, then have it fade more into abstraction as it moves away. That focus around the head might also help balance out some of the visual weight at the bottom. Well done!

[prisma raven]

@bleak fossil thanks!

[bleak fossil]

@void ermine Nice work! I think having multiple goes at a challenge helps to really sink your teeth into the techniques. I like the effects you have going on but think maybe it could be pushed even further. The top and bottom of the pole seem to be stretched, but it doesn’t seem distorted enough to seem deliberate. If you wanted to extend the pole I think duplicating the text over the stretched parts could make it look more natural, but if you want to give it a distorted effect maybe blur the top and bottom slightly, or perhaps play a little bit with warping the shapes in a more unnatural way as they extend towards the edges of the page. Keep up the great work!

[harsh helm]

@bleak fossil Oh great idea! I guess in that way I can make it fit the brief more haha. Thank you for the feedback.

@vale socket Yeah I agree the font definitely needs changing. Ill get to work on that as soon as I can. Cheers!

@distant meteor Great cohesive look to this! Everything fits together really well.You have some really nice visual balance between the text and fish as well. Also really liking your choice of fonts. Looks good!

[queen onyx]

Here is my first attempt at challenge 8. I still need help with typography.

[cold cedar]

@sick flame Good catch (I couldn't help myself) on @distant meteor's fish.

[bleak fossil]

@blissful badge Some really nice textures and colors going on in this! Looking good. I think when you have too many transparent layers on top of each other an image can start to get a little busy or visually confusing. I think a small change that might balance this image out a bit more would be to Have one of your deer overlap the other without any transparency. The blue deer covering the drawn deer might make more sense perspective wise, but perhaps the opposite might look better visually. I think either way it might give the whole image a more solid look. Just a thought. Really serene feeling to this one!

[zinc lava]

@vale socket thanks for the tip I will try and fix that

@bleak fossil Ooooo, yeah! I like that...... I'll give it a shot! 👍

Here's my day 8 attempt (and a little shameless promotion... 😂) Sorry, no snakes! 😉

[magic lark]

@sick flame your poster reminds me of Batman and Gotham city. I love the look and feel to it. Dark and mysterious with a lot of interest. Absolutely awesome.

[sick flame]

@magic lark thank you! I appreciate that! I love playing around with some blacks, whites and reds and it helps with that sorta vibe i think

The struggle is real on this one. I am not happy with the typeface on the bottom but not sure what to do.

[bleak fossil]

@sick flame Really interesting! Kind of a trippy surreal feel with that road at the top. The red text and graphic gives it a sort of dangerous feel. Very intriguing. Nice work!
@lone hare Love this one. Simple distortion effect but very well executed and effective. Gives the whole image a really bizarre yet intriguing feel. The colors work extremely well alongside this effect too. Glad you’re able to jump in for some of these, always great to see what you’re producing!

@dusty pond Great work, really effective image! It's a small suggestion, but I think making the blue text just a touch darker might help it read a little better by separating it even more from the background. Or even lightening up the trumpet ever so slightly. I think currently the contrast between the two elements are competing a bit. Looks great though!

@queen onyx Really digging how you made a nice focal point in the camera lens with the blue color. Very effective without being overpowering for the more minimal design of the poster. Typography has never been my strength, but I think making the type all caps could help, and if the top text becomes too large at that point it might be interesting to try “Finding” at the top and “your eye” at the bottom. Nice work Nikiya!

@grand dove That's awesome to use you using your own photography! Must be great to live in an area with a lot of natural beauty. I like your most recently version, though I wonder if moving “One” slightly to the left, and “Step” a little more to the right might make it flow better? Perhaps even putting a little gradient in the sky could help, though that may not be the effect you’re going for. Really liking the flow of the text in your image!

[sturdy vault]

@wispy fjord I really like this being seamstress myself it is so true. The only thing for me is I struggled trying to read the typeface at the bottom.

[zinc lava]

@vale socket made a few adjustments to the spacing, how does it look now

[timid pasture]

Used @bleak fossil 's suggestion to add a gradient on a multiply layer to add some drama to the foreground. I used a luminosity layer and a layer mask to add a bit of atmospheric haze to the distance and the Fell Beast. I like it!

[void ermine]

thanks @bleak fossil Ya, I was originally going for a distortion just at the edges... like somethign was happening near the edges of the frame that wasn't in the centre, but as I added other elements, looking at it now, I think you're right... it doenst' look deliberate enough... gah... this one really has me annoyed lol... in a good and bad way... I'll keep working on it... in the mean time I've gotta keep on with the other ones lest I fall too far behind!

@grand dove I do like the new arrangement of text better... Nice job! I agree with @bleak fossil though... I think he's got it with the slight adjustment... it makes a difference I think. Awesome job!

[fiery trail]

Hello everyone😀 I just made my poster, so my question is should I add more music notes? or should I try to do something more creative in the background like change one of the sides with a different color?

[void ermine]

Day 6 is still giving me a run for my money, and well up in the air... but I think I'm pretty happy with day 7... Thoughts and comments of any sort always welcome 😃
