O___O
*pokes the professional*

How do you do this? Do you make the starry background and then vector a tree/owl? It looks awesome.

axis85 In reply to incessancy [2007-04-03 02:01:58 +0000 UTC]

hehe not quite - I haven't got a paid job yet

I made the starry background first in photoshop, lots of textures and such in there (wood, water and sky) then added stars (ps brushes), built it up over a few layers then I found an owl photo and traced it (pen tool) in photoshop also did the same for the tree and filled it with a black... saved the lines (paths) placed it on a white background this time for a varnish plate... so for the final print product the silhouette of the owl and tree is glossy text was applied through Indesign...

if you really dig this type of thing, you should check out a career in graphic design - it's competitive howver it's fulfilling to be creative I hope that explanation helps ya chicka

:glomps: That's amazing! I want to be a graphic designer, but I must practice lots to be even par with you. haha! You're a pro in my eyes, even if the dictionary defines it as someone paid for their work. Thanks for the explanation. You've inspiried me to practice the pen tool...

I understood though I'm sure you'd be good or even better than me if you were taught design for three years pen tool is incredibly annoying to use at first however it's vey very useful

incessancy In reply to axis85 [2007-04-09 00:17:19 +0000 UTC]

haha, thanks. I don't know what to do with the tool. I've gotten the hang of it, but I have no clue what to make.
