Gang, Graphic designers and visual artists!
All of you who are willing and ready to take that extra step, thau shall have no fear of recession! Thau shall have no fear of getting fired! And that’s because you will always be able create nice things that market will need and you will never be jobless!
Having that in mind, I prepared a so called recession-proof Vector set package.
Why?
Well, everybody’s talking about recession these days. Not just these days, these months I should say. I don’t think that anyone who is willing to work and who is good at what they do should be afraid. And, as always, I am here ready to help.
In my previous posts, ever since the beginning of this blog, every now and then, I was giving you advices on how to monetize your work. What to do, where to sell … all kinds of ideas. And I don’t plan to stop doing that any time soon. Especially now, when the economy is going through the tough times.
So, no matter if you are beginner in vector graphics or if you are a professional, you are aware of the potential that vector graphics have. You know all about the benefits and advantages of vector graphics. And you know how cool it is to work with vectors. Size is no issue because from vectors you’ll always get crisp sharp bitmaps. And you’re free to derive limitless amount of designs just from one shape.
And how about ten? Or how about one hundred? Or how about 128 vectors, swirls, floral shapes, edges and corners, for which you know that once you open them in Illustrator or CorelDRAW or any other vector editing application, there will be no limits. You can open them in Photoshop or Photoshop elements too because psd and png files are in pack too! No limits to size of the graphics, no limits to variations of the shapes, no limits to application of the designs.
So, what did I do?
I took 5 of my best selling vector packages:
1. Vector Swirls Vector Set (16 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Vector Swirls set (16) ]
2. Vector Floral Shapes Vector Set (30 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Vector Floral Shapes set ]
3. Swirls and Stars Vector Set (35 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Swirls and Stars Vector Set ]
4. Swirled Corners Vector Set (26 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Swirled Corners Vector Set ]
5. Photo Edges Vector Set (21 vectors – swirls and floral)
[ PREVIEW Photo Edges Vector Set ]
Total value of those is $71.95 and I’ve put them all in one package.
I named this package HUGO because it’s HUGE and I did not want to call it HUGE so i called it HUGO. And I reduced the price from $71.95 to $61.95.
But, I did not want to stop there. Because it’s all about recession on TV and I know this package can help you out make some extra $$$. So, I reduced that price further down and it finally landed at no more, no less, but exactly $56.95!
What else can I say? Check the previews of all of them, that’s all I need to say. Just check the previews and let your imagination do the rest.

Hello everyone and Happy Easter!
For today I have prepared another tutorial on how to create your own brush.
This time it is about creating fractal Photoshop brushes.
I am sure many of you will like this kind of graphics:
But, if you are a beginner you probably assume that it’s extremely difficult, first, create your own custom brush and then create such graphic with it.
Well, it’s not! And I intend to show you how to do it in this tutorial.
So, for starters, to follow this tutorial you will need to have CorelDRAW! or Adobe Illustrator or some other software that does vector graphics. First, we will create a shape in CorelDRAW!, then export it to .EPS file, import to Photoshop and make a brush out of it. And that’s it!
So, let’s start CorelDRAW! and make a nice curved line using Bezier Tool:
Then, duplicate this line by dragging it and right-clicking the mouse on a new location:
Then select both line and go to Effects->Blend, Apply (you can leave all settings as they are)
Modify and adjust the shape by selecting various curves from top or bottom line and moving it around until you are happy with the shape.
I must say, I was quite happy with this one :)
So, basically, our work here at CorelDRAW! is over. Now, when I think, maybe I should have used Illustrator, but let’s leave it for another occasion.
The last thing that is to be done here in CorelDRAW! is to export that shape in to .eps file. Go to File->Export-> On the pull down menu select “.eps”, give it some name, leave “Selected only” switched on and click Export:
Click ok and save it.
Now, let’s move onto Photoshop. Here I used Photoshop CS3 but you can use any version from Photoshop 7.0 onward.
In Photoshop go to File->New, Give it dimensions 2500px by 2500px (that is the largest brush size you can get) at 300px (it has to be big so that it can be used for large format printing as well, not just web).
Now, go to File -> Place, browse to our .eps file and place it into this new Photoshop file. Make sure to stretch it before hitting enter so that it is stretched from end to end like this:
Fine! We’re getting there, bare with me just a few more minutes :)
As you have probably noticed the .eps we placed onto our new Photoshop file is not really black as it should be. This can cause this brush to appear transparent when used in the future and therefore we need to make sure that our future brush is really black. Therefore, make sure you selected the layer with our shape and go to Layer -> New Adjustment Layer -> Curves and to the following:
Now, our future brush will be black!
So, after this we are ready to finish and create our first, custom made, Photoshop brush. Go to Edit -> Define Brush Preset and give it a name:
It will automatically appear as the last one on your present brushes list.
That’s it! Voila! Congratulations! You just made your own brush! Now, if you want to save it as an independent .abr file you will need to delete all brushes from your brushes list because otherwise your .abr (brush file) will contain all brushes from the list. So, after you deleted all other brushes except for the one you just created
Now, you just go to save brushes, give it a name and save it to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Brushes
And, now that’s really the end.
Now with a little playing with brush settings and Filter -> Render -> Lens Flare in no time you can create image like the one on the top of this post.
Look, in case you don’t want to go through all this and think that the trouble of creating some 29 fractal brushes is worth $9,99 - I’ll be much obliged if you go and buy the whole 29 Fractal Brushes Set.

Well, yes – I’m using CorelDraw and Illustrator. I’m using CorelDraw since 1992. and sometimes, working in CorelDraw it’s a little bit easier for me.
Step 1
Draw something that looks like a wing (using Bezier Tool)
Step 2
Draw 2 circles, one on the top of the other
Step 3
Use “back minus front” option from “Shaping” menu
Step 4
Using “weld” option from “Shape” menu, weld copied wing and created shape.
Step 5
Add scroll (help: how to draw a scroll) for orientation, so you can add more elements around. Draw one big “grungy” circle as displayed.
Step 6
Add few “branches” and stain drips (help: how to create grungy vector brushes in Illustrator).
Step 7
Draw few elements inside the emblem: animals, flowers, branches, people… anything
Step 8
Finally add some ink splatters around the emblem (help: how to create grungy vector brushes in Illustrator)
Add one big dotted circle in background (help: how to create popart circle in Photoshop) and colorize the emblem.
And, if you need this illustration but don’t feel like going through all this, get it for only 1$!
