Day 242: Water Text

I applied a puppet warp (new to CS5) to five copies of the same water splash image. Puppet warp is a fantastic tool!!

Day 241: Watch Ad

I used only two images for this faux watch ad. The company logo a quick combination of two custom shapes, a font and a bevel and emboss set with low altitude light. The background is a larger version of the watch I used for the bottom.

Day 240: Funky Fractal Lines

Using a simple stroke path with an outer glow, I created multiple lines and used the warp transform. With repeated duplications and rotations an old style spirograph image emerged. Texturizer for the background and some lighting overlays to focus the attention on the center.

Meh.... very web 1.0 and not overly inspired.

Day 239: Filter Tyler

I'm experimenting with various filters and masking effects. Fun but not really practical. I'll have to keep trying.

Day 238: Maui Surf

A simple postcard sized add for surfing in Maui.

Day 237: Funky Letters

I used a stock font, create a work path for each letter and then randomly distorted them individually. The plastic effect was created using various layer styles stacked on various layers. The halftone pattern was generated by applying a linear gradient and then duplicating and transforming to reduce the size. Set to overlay, the patterns blended in with the background color.

Day 236: Light Dancer

I played around with various brush dynamics and applied them to several strokes. I added a simple outer glow and drop shadow and applied layer masks.
