How to Create Retro and Vintage Effects Online

How to Create Retro and Vintage Effects Online

Gang,

Look what I’ve found! Totally cool site (no, they did not pay me a dime to say this :)) where you can upload your image (or play with some of their images) and apply totally cool retro and vintage effects on it.

I tell you I had fun with some of my images there, and down below there is one example.

It would be totally great if this application offered some Photoshop brushes too!

So, if you want to have some fun with your photos I can totally recommend: Pixlr-o-matic

Photo Effects Online

And when you save the photo, it also states which effect did you apply so you can repeat it without looking for it again.

So, what I did, I played a little with one of the images I had. This is my friend Martina.

Now, as you can notice, a few brushes would really make a difference, so I added some for the decoration and the final image looks like this:

I hope you will like the site.

And for the brushes, in this example I used:

Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32)Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32)

Set of 32 brushes (981-1801px) compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.

Now, what is really cool about this site is that you don’t have to know how to use Photoshop or any other photo editing tool for that matter. So, if you are a Photographer or Scrapbooker, you will just upload the image and save the version you like the most.

Then, if you want to decorate it a bit, you will have to :

  1. load it into Photoshop,
  2. Press F5 to bring the Photoshop brushes window,
  3. press “B” to activate the Brush tool,
  4. drag, drop and adjust the brush on the image

and – voila! You have a brand new creation on your desk!
All done in five minutes!

Fast, cool, fun! Enjoy it!

Have fun creating!

Digital Scrapbook Quick page: Decoration for the Kids Room (freebie)

Digital Scrapbook Quick page: Decoration for the Kids Room (freebie)


And now, ladies and gentleman, something completely different!

This will be short and straight forward.

For today, I prepared a digital scrapbook page for kids.

Actually it is for parents but I thought they’d fit the kids room the  best.

This is what it looks like:

Digital Scrapbook Quick page: Decoration for Your Kids Room (freebie)

So, if you like the image, here is the general idea:

  1. Download the file (layered Photoshop file and PSD file together in one zip)
  2. Insert your kids photo into the quick page
  3. Print it out on your color printer (letter format)
  4. Frame it and put it on the wall

Digital Scrapbook Quick page: Decoration for Your Kids Room (freebie)

It is a totally cool decoration for your kids room, it is customized and easy to do, so everyone can do it.

I did this image with:

Of course, this quick page it’s free.

I hope you will like it.

Oh, I forgot… here’s the download link :) :) :) Download Free Space Quick Page (48.99MB)!

Free Download: April 2011 Desktop Calendar Wallpaper, Japanese Cherry Blossoms

Dear All,

Last few weeks were pretty stressful for me.

That’s why you did not hear from me for a while. I didn’t want to write about these, not so good, things that were going on in my life. Let’s just say that things are back to normal, more or less, for the time being at least.

OK. Now, let’s get to fun stuff!

Today is the last day of March (at least for those of you who are reading this on 31st of March), and this time I prepared a free desktop April 2011 Calendar wallpaper. Isn’t it odd? This time, for a change, I prepared a Calendar wallpaper in time!!! :)

I made this wallpaper with my latest Cherry Blossoms Photoshop brushes set which is freely available to all GBG members. This set is published in March Edition of GBG e-zine! If you want it, become a GBG member and you will get access to 120+  Photoshop brushes sets, making a total of almost 1000 FREE Photoshop brushes.

January Blues Contest News!

January Blues Contest News!

February 4, 2011 |  by  |  Announcements, Image Gallery, Photoshop Brushes  |  No Comments

January is behind us and sunny days are coming our way. What a great way to start a blog post!

____________________

But, first of all, I owe you guys a BIG apology! Our dear simple on-line designer application had a bug which we were not aware of for too long. Light colored shapes did not look good on dark background after the rendering! Therefore only graphics done on a light background looked good. Now, the bug has been fixed and we all works like a charm. So, once again, I am really really sorry for this. You can go ahead, test the designer now! And if you find another bug I will reward you. :)

____________________

Since January is known as the most depressing month, I invited you to create graphics and fight the January blues by having fun making, well, graphics with Photoshop brushes!

And now, the time has come to announce … drumroll … the winners! Regardless to the bug in our little on line designer, I still wanted to award those to contestants:

1. The best graphic (Prize: Gold GBG membership)

Cris!

Thank you Cris! You’ll get the GOLD GBG membership.

If you are a GBG member already, just send me your login name and I will upgrade your membership to Gold :) (Please send your info to info (at) graphics-illustrations.com)

2. Second best graphic award (one PREMIUM Photoshop brushes set) from our Graphics-Illustratios.Com Shop goes to Fiona!

Thank you Fiona! This one was funny! You’ll get the PREMIUM brush of your choice (worth $9.99), send me your wish on info (at) graphics-illustrations.com!

Thank you all!

And stay tuned for more. In the meantime enjoy the Valentines day with the one you love and never forget: Have fun creating!

I travel

I travel

(This post is written by guest writer and my hubby – Darijan who helps me in any way he can. Although he is an IT guy by profession – there is an artist inside of him, I tell you :))

Hi!
I hope you like the image above. It is about, well, travel. It’s about time we all have and it’s about uncertainty and change.
I wake up every day at 6:35AM (like many of you I’m sure), I go to work (by train) and I come back home somewhere around the same hour – PM.

So, last Friday, I felt compelled to take a photo of my train station. iPhone was all I had at hand at the moment, so I used it. Image taken with plain iPhone camera looked dull, so I took another shot. With Hipstamatic application – this time.

And, just this afternoon, while syncing my iPhone with a PC I ran into that image again and I just felt: “This one has potential.”

Well, not much is left to say. I used some of my beloved bsilvia brushes and after a bit of playing (with some great music in the background) I got this graphic.

I hope you like it.

Anyways, in case you were wondering what brushes were used – it’s in the image above.

Personally, I liked this graphic a lot. Actually, I liked it so much that I was sorry for making it just in 72dpi. If I made it bigger I could have used it for a desktop wallpaper, or even print it out, frame it and put it on the wall.

I don’t know. I believe there is a creative soul living in all of us, it’s just that sometimes we need a little push. So Silvia’s brushes are my push. OK. I am a bit privileged as I don’t have to pay for PREMIUM versions, but then again, I earn them by washing dishes :)

Anyways, I hope you like the image, maybe some of you recognized yourselves in it and if so: I know how you feel :)

Here is what was used for the graphic:

Buy Photoshop brushes

Swirled (Floral) Edges by bsilvia (18 PREMIUM Photoshop brushes)

and

Buy Photoshop brushes

Good Old Snail Mail – Photoshop brushes set by bsilvia

So. For those of you who liked this graphic, but generally lack self confidence to try and do something by yourselves, let me tell you – it’s inside you. I use this little push by bsilvia’s Photoshop brushes to help me get it out, you can do the same (or you don’t have to ) but if I can do it – you can do so too.

Darijan

P.S.

I enjoyed doing this graphic so much that I strongly believe I will do another one very soon. This time in higher resolution so I can print it out and put on the wall for my friends and family to see it :)

Cats and Kittens and 6 New Lives in My Garage

Cats and Kittens and 6 New Lives in My Garage

October 31, 2010 |  by  |  Image Gallery, Photoshop Brushes  |  1 Comment

Few weeks ago, just before the sunset, Maneki showed up in front of my house. This yellow eyed cat just sat there and starred at me for a while. Then, she stood up and walked confidently towards me brushed against my legs, purred a bit and after few minutes of introduction we knew, she is here to stay.

I don’t think I ever saw such a straight forward and confident cat in my life. Even though I was a stranger, she was not showing any signs of fear. She was pretty sure I am the right person, she had full confidence that I will give shelter to her and her yet unborn kittens. Yes, she was pregnant. Her big belly showed that it it won’t be long before she brings more kittens to life.

And then, about ten days after, it happened. She gave birth to six adorable little kittens right there, on a blanket in a box I prepared for her in my garage. Three of them are white, two are gray and one is yellow. I made sure that she has enough food and water and that she was warm and comfortable there.

Even if I did not have two cats in the house already, there is no way that she would want to give birth and raise her kittens in the house. We were just to close there and cats always want privacy and intimacy at the time of birth. They also intend to keep it that way until kittens are old enough.

They are beautiful little creatures, these kittens and, believe it or not, I already managed to find homes for all them (never underestimate the power of Internet :)) However, they will have to stay with me until Christmas, at least.

So far, I manged to take one photo of them – every day. I hope I will be able to continue to do so for as long as they are with me. It will make a beautiful photo album one day.

And here is Maneki, mother of six:

OK. I know that the first part of this post did not have much to do with Photoshop brushes, but I just had to share it with you.

So, inspired with these new events I created the image for the header of this post. And just in case you were wondering, here is the list of Photoshop brushes I used in that image. Frame is taken from the

Wedding Photo Frames (squares) Photoshop brushes set (25+25+25) + 25 PNGs

*25 brushes in three sizes: for 2,5×2,5 – 3,5×3,5 – 4,5×4,5 inches photos
* 25 transparent PNG files for 4,5×4,5 inches photo
* Compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, PaintShopPro, Paint.NET and more…

Commercial use OK!

Although the name of the set is Wedding Photo Frames Photoshop brushes, they can be used in any graphics related to and about love :)

I also used:

* Dates (2009-2011) Photoshop brushes set (50) + 50 PNGs
* Three sizes
* 50 transparent PNG files
* Compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, PaintShopPro, Paint.NET and more…

Commercial use OK!

Circled hearts, Photoshop brushes set (40+40)

Circled hearts, Photoshop brushes, total of 80 brushes:

* 40 brushes up to 1653px
* 40 brushes up to 293px
* Compatible with Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, PaintShopPro, Paint.NET and more…

Commercial use OK!

| Preview |

O.K. This was a story of Maneki. It is not finished yet, but I hope her kittens will have long and happy lives. She will stay with us and I will surely do whatever I can to make sure that all little kittens come to the hands of people who will love them and in return they will always bring smile on their faces and peace in their homes.

Love you all guys! Stay well, give love to all living beings and be prepared to receive love and blessings too.

Yours,

Flying Piggies of Happiness

October 25, 2010 |  by  |  Image Gallery, Photoshop Brushes  |  1 Comment

Gang,

You know how glad I am every time you show me creations you made with a little help of my Photoshop brushes.

Well, in one of the recent GBG eZines, our GBG members got (as always) the exclusive Photoshop brushes which are not available anywhere else on the net. On that particular occasion I gave away my “Flying Piggies” Photoshop brushes set.

And Fiona’s daughter (Fiona is one of our dearest members) liked the Flying Piggies so much that she just had to make her a T-Shirt with those brushes.

Fiona uses Photoshop brushes extensively in her work and you can see more of her stuff on: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/fiona_at_figero and you can see some more of Fiona’s T-Shirts here.

The second Photoshop brush you see, on the lower part of the T-Shirt is made of “Hawaiian Flowers” Photoshop brushes set.

Thank you, Fiona, for sharing your work with us. I am glad that your daughter likes her new T-Shirt!

Keep up the good work!

Love ya all, and don’t forget – have fun creating!

xoxoxo

It is a weird day today. Especially the sunset I’m watching right now.

It rains, clouds are low, but still, far away, from the west, sun shines through, making drops of water sparkle on the trees in yellow, red and orange colors. Of course, the rainbow appeared too. On the east side where all is gray. All is weird this afternoon. Summer is coming to it’s end … obviously.

But, let’s not be sad about it! We are now looking forward to September, aren’t we! If you are into photography, you will love September, because the colors of September are always so beautiful. One of the best months for Photo lovers!

This wallpaper Calendar comes in 8 different dimensions.

Wedding Album Template: Sweet Memories

Wedding Album Template: Sweet Memories

Few weeks ago I attended our cousin’s wedding. It was really nice white wedding, bride was in white, just like everything else: curtains at the restaurant, table cloths, carpets, plates, napkins, candles… everything!

The reception started at night, so all-white idea was really impressive.  I have to admit: I liked it.

But that was not all, I left that wedding with an idea planted in my head. It inspired me for one new creation. And not just any creation. I had this vision of  unique wedding album.

Anyways, I just had to get it out of my head, so I sat the other morning, worked through the day and the night to create a wedding album template. I named it: “Sweet Memories”.
