Silhouettes, something Green and a competition?
Written on 22 February, 2008 by David Churchill
Stuck for ideas? Feed up with the same old pictures and colours?
Why don’t you try something simple like a silhouette, or a black and white photo? Give it a tweak, maybe boost the Brightness and Contrast and then you will have something a little bit different.
How many colours do you need? Sticking to a single colour or similar colours can have a striking effect - and although there is a little bit of yellow in my example, you can see that using the same colour range can make for an interesting change.
Talking of changes - on the 23 Feb 2008 I will be kicking off a 7 day completion that has some great prizes, so make sure you pop back tomorrow to enter the leap-year special!
Download today’s Photoshop samples - Silhouette (96k) and Green Earth (132kb).
You can also download the Anderson Fireball X font which is used in the Silhouette sample. Other free fonts can be downloaded from the 125Cards download page.
Don’t have Photoshop? Would like a template in another format?
Leave me a comment and I will see what I can do.
