Nicely done @young karma ! It has a spooky feel to it. A few minor remarks: you missed an E in halloween and when looking at the image without text my eye draws to the top where there are 3 lightened spots, but nothing is happening there. So I think either have something going on up there or darken them a bit so it does not stick out. In my opinion enough already is happening in the alley :)I am talking about the 2 windows and some kind of metal thingy on the building in the top left corner.

Thanks for the feedback @bleak fossil - I thought about adding the pumpkin-sun-thing after I had the candy corn in place, and then I never got back to doing shadows.

@pale lichen I have so many questions 😅 ... First of all, that's a wild color combination! I like the hue shift on your face and the abstract background. The tongue could probably be more vibrant (like the real tongue behind it) and you could probably blend the left side into the real tongue. The font works well and I like the placement 🙂
@hearty wharf Yeees! The slide frame really sets the mood 😄 I love everything about this! You could maybe try to remove the blue sky here by using the color range selection

@plain sable I like the patterns on the elephant 🙂 But I think you have inverted the effect. Usually the second landscape appears inside the object and the background is pretty much one color. If you have some time on your hand, you should totally try to invert the effect ^^
@edgy idol ha, I bet this mask wasn't easy to create with all the soft and furry hair. I think you did a fantastic job 😄 (looks like you have painted in the hair manually. try to use a slightly softer brush or blur the area slightly)

#✂challenges-feedback - day 5- layer masks. Here is my double exposure piece. This is definitely a technique I will be exploring further. I used a picture of my wife's grandfather, the 2019 coin, and a picture from Juno beach.
bleak fossil
@jovial moss Lookin good! I think if you want a hint of color you can always just tone down the saturation a touch rather than completely desaturating it. Photoshop gives you a lot of control over that kind of thing so you should be able to tweak it to have just as much color as you like. It may also help the portrait pop if you tone down the opacity a bit of the background so the part within the shape of the head has more dramatic contrast. Nice work!
@dense spade Ooh, really cool texture in the dogs face. Interesting effect for sure. Kudos on all the puns, hah. Nicely done!
@left island Challenge #5 is looking really cool! The bright glowing seam down the middle of the portrait is a really nice effect. I wonder if it might help if the text had a bit more contrast? If the text is already white then maybe using a multiply layer to add a slightly darker gradient to the top of the sky might help? Wouldn’t need to be too much. Well done!
Edit: The text in your second post seems to pop more, looks good!
@glass gale Very cool! Is that Counter Strike? I like what you did with the double exposure, but I think you could increase the contrast even more in the figure. Currently the highest point of contrast is the hillside at the bottom (deepest darks and brightest brights) so it could help to tone that down a touch and increase the contrast in the figure so that it becomes a stronger focal point. Nice work, I like how the texture of the building works within the character’s silhouette!
@neon kestrel Looks great! Really love that monochromatic look to it, and the strong silhouette of the hair. The only suggestion I have would be to tone down the contrast/opacity of the grass at the bottom. Currently it’s a very strong shape and competes with the portrait a bit. By toning it down it would still read but would better let the silhouette of the portrait pop out. Well done!
@half musk Love the balance between the city skyline and the portrait. The skyline works as a great secondary read without overpowering the read of the face. Love the color balance too! This is the tiniest nitpick, but maybe mask off the blue brushwork on the right side that overlaps her jaw? It’s subtle but might work better without it. Really nice job on this one, definitely has a strong poster feel and great silhouette!
@placid trout Ooh, some really cool shapes going on in this one. I really like the B&W scheme too, seems to suit the image well. Really liking that sort of soft edges ghostly feel of the portrait too, gives it a cool ethereal feel. Very nice!
@fast moth Love the color scheme of this one! Really cool shapes and contrast created by the red areas. The whole image has a nice balance to it as well. My only nitpick is that maybe the birds in the top corner could be spread out/scattered a bit more? This turned out really nicely, great work!
@willow nebula Very cool! It’s great to see how far the final image came from the original images you used. Really cool effects with the roads. My only suggestions would be to maybe brighten up the character on the bike since the road seems to have really intense lighting but the character seems to be pretty dark. It could also be cool to darken down the underside of the purple road since it kind of seems like the underside of a ribbon shape, unless that’s a hill? Either way some shadow gradients might help so everything isn’t a uniform lightness in the road area. Might add some depth.Maybe something like this? Very cool image!
@pale lichen Oh man, hah, that’s creepy. I wonder if moving the city up a bit would help the composition to the eye moves around the piece more in a sort of “C” shape, rather than directly from left to right? Could also help to use a multiply layer to get a little shadow on the tongue where it enters his mouth. I’m sure you wanted it that way because of the title, but just something to consider for future compositions.Maybe something like this? Nice work!

@barren cipher Great work Adam! The text is behaving funky though - I can clearly read it when I don't click on the image but once I look at it fullscreen, the text becomes much less obvious 😮
Big fan of all the detail in the grass!
@blazing quail Haha, a classic 😄 Beautiful color contrast, really! The black stroke you have added was definitely the right choice, although I bet you could play with other colors like white or yellow 🙂
@granite carbon I'm impressed, this looks awesome 🙌 🎉 ! I like the clear linework and the different halftone patterns. The only thing I would change would be to add more contrast to the skintones. You did a wonderful job with the tshirt and I think you can apply that technique to the skin tones too ^^
@young karma Oh boy, what a cute doggo 😄 ! You nailed the comic book look, especially with the "WOOF" expression in the lower left.
The gradient looks fantastic and the waveforms coming out of the ears are a nice touch: the color is in stark contrast with the green and the shape cuts through the halftone pattern
However, the entire image is super busy. Maybe you can remove some of the linework in less important areas (like the window) ?

Challenge #6
bleak fossil
@candid chasm Wow, very cool! It’s cool to see how quickly you can get a comic looking image with Capture and some simple editing. I like the addition of the flat colors! Really pushes that comic feel. Nicely done!
@wide solar Oooh, very cool image! I think something simple that could give it a big impact would be to brighten the face a bit with a masked levels adjustment layer or even a color dodge layer. Maybe even using some slightly cooler light with a tint of purple or blue to fit the scene. Would really bring some nice focus and contrast into the face. Could also be cool to push the double exposure effect a little towards the bottom where the trees are, make the effect a bit stronger maybe. Nicely done!
@pulsar sparrow Love it! Nicely done. Really love the the feel of this image, makes me think of some mystery/sci-fi show or something. My only suggestion would be to strengthen the focal point by adding a bit more brightness to face/camera area, and maybe even adding a subtle vignette to the rest of the image. Might help focus the image a bit more. Looks good!
@young karma Ooh, love the double exposure effect on this image! Really like how you handled the text too. Perhaps it might help to move the text up slightly? Currently the image is a bit bottom heavy with a lot of space at the top, moving the text up a touch might help give the image a bit more balance. I also really like the soft white background, gives the bear and text some great contrast and gives the whole image a really cool misty/mysterious feel!
@gentle sparrow Hah, perfect use for Adobe Capture, the black lines and shapes work really well. Halftone effect looks great too. Nice work!
@real fossil Love the lighting and mood in this one! The soft, warm color palette along with the image of longingly looking out a window works great together. My only suggestion would be to maybe bring a bit more of the face to the forefront like Val did on her challenge. In this kind of image it often works well to bring out a little bit more of the portrait image in the face area, especially the eyes. Even if just a little bit, it might help shift a bit more focus to the face for a nice focal point and balance to the whole image. Really cool!
@dim zealot Love the double exposure and colors in the portrait on this one! I wonder if adding a bit more blue to the background, or even a blue gradient that fades more towards the white you have near the top might push that underwater feel more. Something still light like you have so the portrait has some nice contrast, but maybe just a bit more of a blue shade. Just a thought. Nicely done, especially on the masking around the face! Makes for a great and interesting silhouette.
@silver trench Looking good! The half tone effect looks great, I like how it pushes focus to the dog by keeping it lighter/more yellow in the center. Nice job!
@sturdy vault Nice work! I like how the double exposure works in the head area and looks like hair with the dark shapes. I like the sort of sort mysterious background too. I like how you have a strong silhouette in the figure against the white background, perhaps it could help to fad the area around the bottom right a bit more to keep that silhouette? It could even be a cool effect to have the entire background just a little more visible, then have it fade to white like it is now as it moves up towards the top. A little more visible, but not too much that it detracts from the strong silhouette of the figure that you have currently. Just some thoughts. Great work on this, the whole thing has a really cool feel.
@long void Nice job with these different combinations of double exposures! I like the ghostly looking background and text, definitely gives it an intriguing teaser poster type of feel. Good job!
@keen pendant Ah yeah, pretty much the same techniques/style! Very cool. Love the colors and shapes in this, and the sun lines add some great sense of movement to the image.
@viscid kayak Very cool! The masking and sense of depth was messing with my eyes at first, hah. I was thinking he was somehow behind and in front of the wall at the same time. Really nice job with the masking work and the content aware fill. Looks solid!
@tacit condor Very cool! Did you use the double exposure effect to add the tattoos onto her? Nicely done! I wonder if the whole image could use a bit of a levels adjustment to brighten it up slightly? It seems a little on the dark side, even with the moody lighting/feel taken into account. Nice work with masking as well, looks good!
@errant knoll Looking good! Really cool feel to this image, I really like how the brightness/lighting of the face seems to work with the scene. Doesn’t feel too bright or too dark and gives the whole thing a kind of calm/mysterious feel. One suggestion I would have would be to either increase the size of the text or the face depending on what you would want to put more focus on. Currently the two shapes are around the same size and fighting a bit for attention. Putting on larger than the other might gives the image a stronger 1-2-3 read in terms of where the eye goes first, second, and third. I think it could go either way for this image. Just a thought. Great work!
@tropic breach Really nice work on the Day 5 Challenge! I love the way the colors and shapes of the clouds work within the portrait. Is the shadow in the water from the rest of the portrait image, or was the original image like that too? I kind of wonder if some nice sunset reflection on the water could balance out the image a little more with all the brightness we’re seeing around the top half of the image. Hard to say, I think it might look good, but would have to see it. Nice work on this, you got a nice balance between the two images!
@blissful badge Hah, really nice job on the Day 5 Challenge! I like the way you lines up the fish eye with the bear’s eye. Cool effect. I wonder if softening the bears edge might help sell the effect a bit. Soft things like fur tend to have a softer edge, so feathering the selection ever so slightly might give it a more natural look than a really crisp/sharp edge. Nice work on this Leslie, it’s looking good!
@rich hinge Really nice work on this, looks great! The landscape image and portrait work really well together with how you positioned and balanced the shapes. If I had to look for any suggestion to make it might be to use a soft brush to mask/fade out the bottom part of the portrait to give it a more gradual natural blend into the image as it moves up towards the face. Meaning to softly mask out the bottom of the hair/arm area for a softer fade. Nothing too dramatically different, but just giving it more of a fade effect. Might work well with the soft foggy feel of the image. Looks great, love the text too, fits nicely!
@halcyon sphinx Ooh, love the feel of this one! I really like how the brush/spatter effect comes out naturally of the silhouette of the figure on his upper back, makes for a really nice seamless blend. I think the effect looks good elsewhere too, but I might fade it off around his eye so it doesn’t distract from his natural face silhouette which acts as a natural focal point. Really love how you handled the colors too. Gives the whole thing a really interesting contrast! I wonder if a splash of red tint towards the bottom left could help balance it out?
Edit: Just saw the second yellow image. Awesome visual balance to this, love the way you built up a big shape with a collage of images. Works extremely well!

Hey, guys, I'd appreciate some feedback 🙂
bleak fossil
@plain sable Looks great! I really love the mix of the tree and mandala type design, makes for some really interesting shapes. My only suggestion would be to have a more natural transition on the elephant on the right side. Perhaps using a larger softer brush to give it a much more gradual soft Gradient fade as opposed to a soft line/edge? Might look less abrupt. Other than that it’s looking really solid!
@deep mango It's looking really solid! Really liking the color scheme. The only suggestion I might have would be that a more consistent size in the half tone texture might look good? But the shapes are looking good, and the contrast between the smooth foreground shapes and the textured background work really well. Nice job!

@ruby panther cool 🙂 ! The only thing that might make it more balanced (I think) might be using a different font like for instance Shlop: https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/shlop The text stands out too much and I feel the image itself should get all the attention.

So mixer brush is great for producing these cool abstract designs. I'm wondering if anyone's ever found other design applications for it where it's more controlled? There are so many options that it seems like a tool that gets a lot of use, but I can't see using it beyond these kinds of swirly-twirly projects.

@nova swan ha, nice! Is that an Adobe Capture Pattern in the background 😮 - My advice would be to really take your time and mask out the letters to make sure you don't miss any parts 🙂
I know it can be boring, but it will be worth it once you're done. you will get a much cleaner result ^^
@young karma hehe, I'm always down for some good (or bad) puns! I really like your vibrant color scheme in combination with the white text and the texture overlay 👍
if you have some time, you could add some drop shadows where the mixer brush strokes intersect (just like you did with the text)

@remote sequoiaothai#7058 Nice use of the masking for the mixer brush challenge! The drop shadow adds some nice depth as well. I wonder if you could turn up the smoothing on the brush tool to get a bit smoother of an edge on the curves of the line? Good work!
@past carbon Love the light and and circle background texture you got in this mixer brush challenge! The mixer brush stroke looks really good! It has a nice smooth transition in the different directions and works well as a graphic design element. The masking gives it a lot of interest too!
@dusky willow Nice work on the surreal landscape with the fountain! There’s definitely some surreal colors going on in the landscape. I think the key to making picture like this fit together is the perspective/angle of the images. The landscape has a low down camera angle, where as the fountain has a higher up camera angle, which makes the perspective of them together seem a bit off. I think one thing you could do to help them fit together even more would maybe be to add a little shadow with a multiply layer to the base of the fountain, especially where it meets the road. It might help the lighting fit a bit more. Really cool colors on this, nice job!
@unreal crescent Nice work! I like the colors, gives me a bit of a 90’s vibe. It could be cool to see the pink line going through the middle of the two words and intersecting both a little bit. Might help balance out the visual weight so it’s not as bottom heavy. Just a thought. Nice contrast in texture you have going on between the background and text/shape too!
@young karma Ooh, this is cool, the graphic shapes and lines turned out really well in the face for Challenge 6. Maybe a little splash of color within the face and arms to add a little skin tone might fit it in more with the rest of the colored image? I like the sort of cutout shape of the figure over the background, looks good!
@young karma Ooh, very cool! The challenge for Day 6 is looking great. Really liking that halftone and gradient you have going in the background. Spider-Man looks great, the only suggestion I might have is to tweak the pattern so he has some of the red shapes in his chest and arm areas, and some more blue around his thigh areas. Might help it looks more like Spider-Man and also give a nice balance to the red/blue shapes. I really like the cutout look Spider-Man has over the background, it contrasts the texture nicely!
@unkempt field The Mixer brush postcard is looking good! I like the brush stroke shape you got going, and the masking adds a lot of interest as well! Nice work 😄
@silver trench Hah, nice use of the mixer brush! Would be cool if the tooth paste brush stroke had a little bit more of a glossy look to it. Might sell the effect even more. Nice work with the masking too. Nice job!
@plain sable This turned out awesome! Great job on Challenge 7. Really love the texture you got in this image, and the shapes all work together really well. Really nice work with the leaves around the text, adds a lot of depth and interest to the whole thing!
@wet thistle Nice work with the capture function and adding some color to the whole image! Gives it a nice effect. Perhaps a bit of a gradient to the background might add a bit more dimension as well? Maybe something that starts out a little darker at the bottom and works up to the light color it currently has as it moves upwards. Nice work on this challenge!
@young karma Oh wow, you really nailed this one! Really awesome work with the shapes and composition, the brush stroke works really well as a controlled graphic element. The colors also work very well together. I like the subtle texture as well. For some reason I feel like this could be the design for some World Cup advertisement, hah, very nicely done, looks very professional!
@nova swan Nicely done! I like how the brush stroke has a brighter area towards the bottom, it gives it a bit of dimension. I’d be kind of curious to see the color/value of the text and brush stroke swapped. I wonder if it’d give a bit more emphasis/weight to the text, but hard to say without seeing it. I really like the subtle texture in the background as well, looks good!

Day 7 challenge
bleak fossil
@austere root Very nice! Challenge 7 is looking good. I like the way you handled the text in this one. The repeating colors with the text and elsewhere in the image works well to tie it all together. It might be a cool effect to have the brushstroke lines have a hard edge, then slowly fade to the softer edge is has now as it moves left to right. Might give it a sense of depth like it’s moving out of focus as it goes back in space. Nice work!
@young karma Great work with the Day 7 challenges! I really like the two different moods and styles you got with these different approaches. You got some really nice feelings of movement with the different lines and designs as well. Perhaps he masking in the “Bee Kind” image could be adjusted so the “K” is covered more completely by the part of the stroke that passes over it? Looking good!
@vague swift This looks great! Really love the deep contrast in the face in the Sky Kiss image. The change from light to dark tones halfway through the face works really well, and the whole piece has a really great atmosphere and mood to it. I really like how you balanced it so the greatest contrast is in the portrait, really makes for an effective focal point. Great work!
@zealous stratus Really great concept and image for Challenge 5! I really like the dreamlike feeling all the white areas create. I like how you kept the details of the face in tact to really add a nice focal point and keep the emotion, but I wonder if it might look good to have the warm colors in the horse picture fade more gradually upwards into the face. Just so that warm color area is a bit more gradual and ties into the rest of the image a bit more. It’d have to be done with the right blending mode to keep the color/warmth without obscuring the face. Just a thought. Great job!
@dim zealot Wow, that mixer brush stroke has so much dimension and form to it. Those deeper shadows really help sell that. Really nice texture in the background, I wonder if using something like a multiply layer to add a bit of a gradient to the image (so it’s a bit darker at the bottom and fades up to how it currently is at top) might help add a bit more dimension and mimic the lighting of the rest of the image. The colors give the image a lot of life, looks good!

Day 7: Mixer Brush -- This is FoglihtenNo07 Font. I really like this unique, elegant font, especially the glyphs. I started with a light to dark magenta gradient over a reddish background from Pixabay (H/S adjustment layer added) that gave me a bit of "sun" coming in from the top. I used Japanese fabric #30 from PhotoRoadMap for the flower texture in the background. The daisies are from an Artistic Nature brush set that I've had for years and years. I added drop shadows to the text and swoop to get them far enough off the background so they could twine around each other. I finished off with a subtle vignette.

I want to post my private reply to @pale lichen about his problem with the mixer brush just in case anyone else had that issue in the video he posted:
"Please try changing the size of your brush! The brush size determines how much of the area you will sample for the brush effect. I think your you, you just need to make it larger and you will see in the top left corner where it shows your brush texture/color more of the colors will show up"
That should fix it!

I don't know about these 3D challenges... I think I must have a graphics card issue. The last 2 challenges that included 3D text, I get weird floating gray pixels after rendering. Am I do something wrong?
candid chasm
@edgy idol i have this one, and i dont have that kind of issues 🤔
Oh right1 Here is my challenge 🙂
edgy idol
@candid chasm right? I feel like my machine is powerful enough... but something is wrong
wrong with either how I'm doing things or my machine?
candid chasm
@edgy idol well... i was working in another thing few days ago and i had a similar problem... there start appearing different squares just like in the picture that u sent but the colours were similar with the image i have... The only way i could fix it was painting or cloning in the area where those things appear. Then i reseted my computer few times and it doesn't happen again.
But to be honest i don't know what was the problem 😦
edgy idol
I had the problem in the last 3D text challnege too... the one where we mirrored the background onto it. So I tried going super simple with today's... but still bad. I have defintiely restarted severl times since the last challenge. Also on new OS for today's, but same issues.
candid chasm
I had a lot of updates... maybe its cuz of that :/
bleak fossil
@edgy idol It might be better to post these issues in the “ask-a-question” section which is more suited to that kind of stuff. The chat in this section is more for sharing challenges and feedback since chat moves much faster and these types of posts can get buried pretty quick.

@thorny sedge can I make a suggestion? Your entry with the mixer brush and the word LIFE, you could make that more dynamic by moving some parts of the stroke behind the characters. You can use a mask on your mixer brush layer to achieve this. I will upload a quick example of your image.

@snow vortex beautiful! The glowing flower works well with the epic clouds and the turbulent water 😄 I would only mask out the ship so it's not behind the glowing flower. This could be a cool reverse-double exposure effect
@dim zealot This reminds me of the classic strawberry donut icing 😄 - love it! The whole shadow looks a bit grainy. Have you rendered it?
@real fossil just one thing: make sure to decrease the brush spacing to reduce this wavy artifact

Day 8 challenge: I made this image by putting each letter in its own 3D layer so I could manipulate each one's position. The background is the same as from yesterday, but HSL's to bluish green. Over that are 6 difference AdobePaper Texture textures with various blend modes. Perhaps I should have put each letter on a wooden block and then stacked the blocks. Maybe I'll have time to try that another day.

Day 8

@young karma The brush spacing usually lessens the effect of the mixer brush. But this time, it totally works 🙂 It looks a bit like a soft feather. The 3d text is clean and I also like the font 😄
I would probably have a look at the areas here. It looks like the mask has an error here
@honest gorge I am very impressed! Such a great composition 😀 and I love the subtle use of the 3D effect. It doesn't have to be the center of attention and you have not only noticed but applied this in the best way 👍 . I would probably only reduce the noise a touch. Well done!
@formal sage Good job! I like the two different directions you've tried. Your first one is very contrasty and emphasizes the shadows and highlights while the second submission is focused around the gradients and more subtle tonal transitions. I personally would go with the contrasty image 😄 - By the way, It looks like the sky background is still showing through the background. I would either remove it completely or feature it more prominently 🙂 Right now, you can't really tell

@thorn geyser The zig-zag worm looks awesome 😄 I would only add some noise or grain (via the camera raw filter) to the image to add some... grit to the otherwise gradient 🙂 Well done!
@fallow bough as always you did a fantastic job! I really love the custom lighting and the shiny material 😄 . I also like how you have only used a subtle version of the 3d effect 👍
@real fossil Thank you for submitting 😄 The banner looks clean and the texture in combination with the brown color reminds me a bit of leather 🙂 . I would probably soften the drop shadow a bit, increase the spacing between the letters (until they're not touching anymore) and maybe even add a texture to the background (or possibly a gradient)

@wet thistle YES! I love the originality of your submission! Great execution - personally I would have used a dark background and a bright text, but that's just personal preference 😉
austere root
I made the text using the 3D tool then colored it with a gradient overlay and an inner shadow. I added a 2D layer of text over it to increase the depth of color on the overlay.
austere root
updated Challenge 7 based on a suggestion by @bleak fossil. Changing the hardness of the tube as it got "closer" to the viewer. I couldn't keep the line consistent at the end. Any suggestions for changing hardness while drawing a line or do I just need to practice lining up starts and stops better?
bleak fossil
@austere root The way I’d personally approach it would probably be to keep a single original hard edged line you made and duplicate it so you have two versions. Then blur one version, and use a layer mask and soft round brush to fade off the blurred or normal one gradually from one side to the other. The layer mask will really let you control how much you want the blurred version or hard version to show. Let me know if that makes sense
That being said you have a pretty cool effect going with this one! It just might be easier to control the other way
austere root
@bleak fossil Makes sense.

@broken gorge Really loving the gradients and shapes you got going for the mixer brush challenge! This is more just personal preference, but I feel like the image might work better if the apple logo was much smaller. It seems like it would really emphasize the text and give the whole thing a bit more of a subtle/clean feeling, which is kind of what I get from the colors and shapes to begin with. Either way really nice job, it’s looking good!
@viscid kayak Very nice! The 3D text challenge is looking good! I’m liking the texture and gradient you have going on in this image. Currently everything seems a bit dark, I think it might help to make the background or text lighter so there’s a light element contrasting against a darker element. Might help the whole image pop a bit more and have a stronger focal point. Nice work on this, I really like the white outline against the text as well!
@blissful badge Hah, nice work on the Day 7 challenge! The water background with the white text and colorful mixer brush stroke work really well together. The white text works as a nice smooth contrast to the detail/texture of the rest of the elements. Nice job!
Edit: The edits on the bear image look great! Really sells the fur effect a lot more.
@deep mango Looking good! It’s always great to be able to make these challenges for graphics and banners that you can use. One small thing that I think could maybe help make the text feel more balanced would be to have the “for” more straight on perspective wise and in the center. It’s a subtle suggestion but might help balance the perspective a bit. Nice work with the color gradients as well!
@forest ivy Love it, you definitely got that style down, and the Adobe capture effect looks great with it. My only suggestion to push it a little further would be to make the text bubble an off-white color with a bit of a yellow tint, and maybe even a really subtle texture. Might pushed that aged look a bit more. Great work on this!
@barren cipher Hah, very nice, I get a little bit of that 80s/90s feeling with the color scheme. I think it might be a bit busy just due to there being so many shapes of the same size. When I’m compositing I usually try to go for a clear 1-2-3 read in terms of the size of objects and/or how much contrast they’re pulling. And if I add more elements I try to do it in a way where there’s a pretty clear visual hierarchy on what should read first. I think these designs look really cool, but just something to keep in mind for the future since there’s a lot of objects the same size and same contrast as each other as it’s hard for the eye to know where to look first. Really great colors and textures in this! Gives it some really cool dimension.
@tulip fern Really like the clean graphic look you got with the mixer brush! Definitely looks like a controlled almost 3D element. Liking the sort of white outline around it as well. The 3D effect on the text is looking good too! Really nice shapes to this whole thing.
@candid chasm Ooh, looks great! Love the nice balance between it looking 3D and looking like it matches the graffiti of the rest of the scene. My only suggestion would be that since the scene is so dark it might be a good opportunity to brighten the pink glow around the text to make it pop out of the scene more. Night work!
@dusky willow Hah, nice work on Challenge #5! I think perhaps the image could be balanced a little more compositionally if the top dogs head was moved to the right between the bottom dog’s head and the pie on the right. Might help balance the image visually with the text being on the left. I think a levels adjustment to boost the bright values might help the image read as well. Good work!
@glad steppe Really liking the clean simple look of this image, nicely done! I think the text at the bottom could even be a bit smaller and moved up just a touch so it’s not so close to the bottom edge. Subtle suggestions, but they might help. The texture is a nice touch too!
@sturdy vault Ooh, love the texture in this one (challenge 8), works really well towards the Halloween theme. My only suggestion is to maybe make the text brighter, or the background a bit darker. Currently a lot of the elements are similar value, and darkening the background might help pop the text and other elements forward a bit more. The 3D effect looks great, nice job with the leaves as well!

@glacial path

@young karma Nice work with the half tones for Day 6, looks really cool! I wonder if the hair might look a little bit more natural if the red tint covered more of the hair and didn’t cut off so abruptly with the half tone. It might also help to give the speech bubble an off-white tint, maybe even a faint red tint to match the rest of the scene and not compete with the face so much contrast wise. Really nice work, the whole image has a dramatic comic book look to it!
@wet thistle Ooh, love the direction you took the Day 8 challenge, really interesting effects! I personally like the second pink image a bit more. Really love the colors you got in it, and the interesting style you got with the 3D effect. I really like the first image too, but I wonder if you could make it pop and bit more by maybe boosting up the brightness of the pink area a bit more. Really nice work on these!
@blissful badge Very cool, I really like the way you incorporated the symbols into the text. Looks good! The whole thing pops out nicely from the background as well. My only suggestion is to maybe Change the color of the bottom text to match the dark purple shadow color of the Argyle text. Might unify the colors of the text a bit more. Well done!
@austere root Hah, very cool! Reminds me of Indiana Jones. Really liking the background texture, it could be cool to give the text a very subtle stone-like texture to make it fit that gritty theme. My only real suggestion would be fixing the jagged edge effect the text currently has. I’m not sure if that was from the setting for the 3D tool, or having a document that’s too small in size, but I think smoothing those out would really help add some polish. Nice work!
@neat ingot Yeah, I think the 3D feature is probably one of the more system intensive aspects of Photoshop. Any 3D software tends to be pretty intensive in that way. But this turned out nicely! Glad Photoshop didn’t give you too much issue. I think currently there’s some nice color contrast between the warm and cool colors, but they’re pretty close in value. I think maybe darkening the background and lightening the text a bit could really help push that contrast more. Maybe even a bit of a gradient in the background to add a bit more dimension in the lighting. Nice work, the texture is looking really cool!
bleak fossil
@honest gorge Very cool! I like what you did with the background. Gives the whole image some nice color while making the text and controller pop. I wonder if it might look good to make the text even bigger. Might fill up the space a bit better while separating it from the size of the controller to give the eye a clearer read and focal point. Just a thought. Looks good!
@young karma Challenge 8 looks great! I really like the crisp clean edges of the text along with the textured background and smokey brush effect. My only suggestion is the same thing Tim mentioned with cleaning up the masking, but besides that it could be cool to have the left or right end of the brush masked out by the red part of the text so it looks like one end of it goes behind the text and one end goes in front. Might add a nice sense of depth. I really like how the back part of the text is red as well, really makes the white part pop out nicely.
@forest aspen Very cool Marie! It’s always interesting to hear insight into the process for these images. I like the effect of turning each letter a different way. This is more personal preference, but it could be nice to get a little color temperature contrast in the image to really make the text pop more. Maybe a warmer yellow-green for the text? Just depends if that’s the effect you want of course. Well done!
@snow vortex Nice work! It’s cool to see all the images you used come together. The flower image give it a really interesting effect. My only suggestion would maybe be to bring the boat/flower elements down a few notches. Currently it seems to be crowding the top a bit and I think moving those visual elements down a bit more might balance out the image, if that makes sense. Really nice job!

@tulip fern I have the full CC package so used Premiere. Adobe provided a pre-edited trailer project that I rearranged and applied various effects. Sadly they didn't provide additional footage and all the pieces had no heads or tails to allow lengthening so there wasn't much room for creativity in the cutting.

Day 9: I tried several patterns with shapes on my own, but I didn't really like any of them after I started placing images, so I went with one of Voodoo Val's created shapes. I also used several different images for inside the shapes, but ended up using a sunrise sky from Pixabay.com for most of the masked areas, but the center just looked blah. I chose this cloud-placing image from AdobeStock instead. I took it into camera raw to add a duotone (pinkish highlights and lavender shadows), increased the saturation and vibrance, and shifted the color of the too-green grass with the adjustment brush. Much better, in my opinion.
