C4d set 13

Category: C4ds Tags: , , , , , , , Leave a Comment

Tons of blue in this set of c4ds. What connects each individual image is that the materials used were all the same. The process of creating the figures were a bit different.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this set.

Signature Set 1

Category: Signatures Tags: , , , , Leave a Comment

This is a series I probably should have started long ago. Creating forum signatures was how I was introduced into graphic design. It all started on a friend’s forum. He had created a section for original forum signatures. I thought I’d give a try. After a few attempts, he gave me a few tips and tutorials to use so that I could improve.

Here’s a few of my first ones:

Cloud Brushes

Category: Brushes Tags: , , , , , Leave a Comment

A few years ago, the thing that got me into graphic design was signature design. One technique that I learned was to smudge the background and other objects into the image. One of the effects that could occur was that the image would become cloudy. A few days ago, I thought about using the effect to virtually create clouds out of nothing but brushes. After discovering that my experiment worked, I decided to create a brush set out of the multiple clouds I had created. I ended up creating twenty of them. The clouds are between 200 and 600 pixels in width. Enjoy!

C4d set 12

Category: C4ds Tags: , , , , , , Leave a Comment

I’m a bit behind in posting my c4ds, so hopefully I can catch up by the end of the year. Today I showcase some abstract c4ds from when I started getting comfortable with making them. They are immensely different; they were mostly just me experimenting, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

And as a heads-up, the next set will be in the same style as the last in this set.

Drive Nice Poster

Category: Inspiration Tags: , , , , , , Leave a Comment

This was created quite a while ago for a school project. One of our assignments was to produce a video for the school’s annual film festival, either individually or as a group. My group decided to enter a PSA we had created earlier as an entry for a local contest about the dangers of driving while texting. The next assignment was to create individual posters for the video we submitted. This is what I designed.

The background was created using the grunge brushes I created along with a few filters. The title text was edited by using splatter brushes and the wind filter. The phone is my phone, taken by a classmate. The whole thing was put together using Indesign, though for web use, I recreated the image in Photoshop.

Some more abstract c4ds made using similar techniques. Not as happy with this set than I have been with others.

Substance Wallpaper

Category: Wallpaper Tags: , , , , , , , , , Leave a Comment

One of my hobbies in Photoshop is to just experiment with ideas and the plethora of tools available in the application. And when you’ve created as many c4ds as I have, you just have to see how you can incorporate a few of them into a wallpaper.
And that’s just what I’m making available for download, today. A “Substance” Wallpaper, using two of my many c4ds, a pattern that I created, and a few adjustment layers. Enjoy!

These three abstract c4ds were made using similar methods. Mainly experimenting with using perspective to create more interesting abstract c4ds.

Curve Vector

I love experimenting in Illustrator just to see what outcomes may result. However, my experiments are much more fulfilling if I can share them with others. This simple vector was an experiment with the blend tool. Enjoy.
