Photoshop

I have been dabbling with image manipulation for a while now, and my skills are moving closer to a professional standard. What started out as a couple of side-projects and idle curiosity has developed into a skill which regularly comes in useful for application development.

The samples below are "just for fun" images I've produced. I should say that while all the compositions are original, some images are not.

(apologies for the poor display format, Blogger's editor is a little restrictive when it comes to image placement)

Gift Cards

The following two images are the result of hours of experimentation and colour balancing to produce gift cards for friends. They combine images from popular culture with custom text,

brand identities (Star Wars and The Walking Dead), and photographs of real people.

Album Cover

Some friends of mine enjoyed moderate local success as a two-peice rock'n'roll band called Go Johnny Go. They requested a cover and set of sleeve inlays for an album they produced. All the designs and artwork for the composition is original, and I'm very proud of the overall design.

Note - the image is optimised for print, where the colour balance is a little better

Mock-Propaganda Posters

This series represents a set of "tags" for an online war game. Each player has a unique tag that they can draw in the game at any time. Among teams of players, having consistent tags can create a good team spirit and identity. I created about ten different tags for a team of players. The style is taken from typical World War Two propaganda posters, and uses a lot of source imagery from contemporary posters.
