So, from time to time my friends ask me to do some video for them. If I have enough time, I do it, why not. So, last week a friend of mine asked me if I could make a small video invitation for their wedding.
I took my camera (Panasonic NV-GS 180 – 3CCD – 2,3 mega pixel) and we met at the park (2 minutes from my home).
I did the video editing in After Effects CS3and – voila!
The video wedding invitation is done! Let me know what you think.

So, you would like to print your own scrapbook that will be cool, unique and… huh, cool?
How would you like to make some cool graphics, merge them with some photos and print out as a scrapbook that will always remind you of some people or events?
Do you just feel you can’t afford to spend too much time working on it?
Well, let me tell you something. It took me one afternoon to do my Rovinj (Rovigno) scrap book. Rovinj is a small fisherman’s town in Croatia, at the coast of the Adriatic Sea. I decided that I want to have scrapbook of it, took one afternoon of and … voila! Here it is. Do I need to mention that I used my own brushes for it? (and of course my photos!)
Here is just a preview of the book and in next post I will briefly describe how it’s done. So, if I did it, I’m sure you can do it too. At home. Just using a printer, canvas paper, some textile, cork board, sea shells and a sponge. Nothing too sophisticated.

One of the most popular magazines for Photoshop users and professionals decides that my brushes meet their high standards. They dedicated one whole page to my Photoshop brushes and they announce my brushes on the front page. Free versions of my brushes are included in the CD.
I’m just so happy!
I hope that this post doesn’t sound like “showing off”.
I’m very excited about that and I just had to share it with you.
It’s a great resource: Advanced Photoshop Magazine!
Love!

Hi Gang,
A friend of mine who’s producing woman stockings asked me if I could do a photo session for her marketing campaign. Always being a good sport as I am, of course, I agreed.
So, here is one of the images I took that day. For the final touch, of course – I used my Photoshop brushes:
I hope you like it! If you created some artwork with Photoshop brushes let me know. The best two will be rewarded with one PREMIUM set of Photoshop brushes!

Yesterday, after discovering that AdToll thing, I found myself thinking about how this, this and this person can earn enough money from their blogs? They are actually living a great life only from money earned that way?
Look, this woman is even supporting her family with it! That’s the direction I’m going to. It takes long, but I’ll get there sooner or later.
Why does it take so long for me to do it? Maybe “give stuff for free” business model doesn’t really work? If you have an answer, let me know, will pay for profitable advice.
But that’s me. I can’t be johnchow or shoemoney or dooce. I’m just… Me.

Gang, I’ve just came up with another idea!
Why would we need to apply Photoshop brushes on graphics for web or print only? Why limit ourselves? I think that this white Swirls Photoshop brush fits perfectly on dark clothes.
Check it out for yourself! Not to mention other possibilities. How about mugs, or bags, or buttons, magnets, aprons?…. possibilities are limitless.
So, consider this, you can get the 9,99$ swirls – Photoshop brushes set, create nice designs with them, open a store and apply them to clothes, mugs, or bags, or buttons, magnets, aprons…. all this various different stuff.
Or, if you’re just not in mood, get some of those for yourself (or your beloved ones) from cafepress shop.
Have fun creating!

Guys, I’m in a mess! Today, I have to shoot some people :)…
…no, not really: I’ll do a photo session with a loads of people ! And I have do it in my apartment because I don’t have a studio anymore. Well, studio that I had was too small and my current living room is big enough but I don’t like the idea that lot of people mess around my apartment while i work.
The situation: my friend Marina call me one day to ask if I could make a photo session for another friend of her called Suzana. She (Suzana) makes woman stockings and she wants some professional images for her next brochure. I don’t shooting per request, especially here in Croatia where everyone is… well, I don’t like shooting per request. I like to sell images I make through stock agencies much better.
So, in that case I stated that I will not ask for payment, but I will take 50% or more photos for my needs. The models will sign “Model Release Forms” and I will be able so sell these images on stock agencies.

So, this photo-shooting session will involve: my friend’s girlfriend Melani (who is also my Italian teacher), who will be a model, one girl (Dinka) who I don’t really know that well, my friend Marina (she will be the makeup artist) and the “client” – Suzana. Suzana also mentioned Irina (graphic designer) wants to be present. (Did I mention that I don’t appreciate the idea of too many people hanging around my apartment as I work?) I’m nervous. Really nervous!
So, guys – wish me luck, ‘cos I gonna need it!
Images will be posted here (at bsilvia.com)… at least few of them.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving day to my visitors from USA!

So, please guys: make me happy every day: please send me a link with your work, or your work … or anything that uses my Photoshop brushes, Illustrator symbols and other. I’d like to see all that great things you can do!
Happy thoughts!
