Ciao amici!
(Now you know how to say “Hi, friends!” in Italian. That’s just in case you plan to visit Italy this summer ;-) )
So! As always, today again it is a great pleasure for me to announce yet another great graphic by our, already well known friend – Gordeeeee!
Here is what Gordeee said:
“… Here is my possibly quickest graphic yet with use of your crack wall over the face etc. I like to use that ‘medium’ especially flaked paint. I’m always looking for some on old doors with my camera (sony DSC). Everything except the statue and roses are manufactured by me even the clock (i did that some months ago).
(Attached) is the cracked wall I used and just cloned it, turned it….and so on.It’s all been done before but i like doing it. The text is psalm 19v17 onward.”
Well, Gordeeee, what can I say? It’s beautiful! I like your style and I am sure most of the visitors and GBG members will agree on that one.

Here is the Cracked Wall Photoshop texture that was used in Gordeee graphic. Feel free to download it. I am sure many of you will now be tempted to try and do some cool graphics too :) If you want, send me the graphic you made and I will publish it too.

Gang,
Had a kind of the urge to show you maybe some other approaches to Photoshop brushes and their usage. Of course, the possibilities are limitless and this is one of them.
I used a Photoshop Hearts brush,but much more is available in this Wedding brushes package which is on sale now ->

So, this is just a small sample on what can be done with brushes in, like, 120 seconds. Fast and simple!
Speak soon!
Silvia
P.S.
Let me know if you’d like to know how exactly I made the image above.

You know, I get really really excited and feel kinda proud every time I get an email from someone who successfully sells their designs on micro stock agencies. And ESPECIALLY designs that incorporate my brushes in it. Why? Because I helped someone to make a better design.
So, I did some research and it came as no surprise to learn that designs with swirls are making a blast on the market. It is no secret, this is the age of Swirls! Swirls rule the empire of graphic designs, from web to print, from commercials to scrapbooks. And we ain’t seein’ no end to it’s rule anywhere near!
So, to honor the swirls I made a package that contains:
1.Swirls Floral Photoshop Brushes Set, (42 brushes) | [preview]
2. Swirls 2, Photoshop Brushes Set (36 brushes) | [preview]
3. Outlined Swirls Photoshop Brushes Set, (23 brushes)
| [preview]
This makes a total of 101 Hi-Res Photoshop Swirls Brushes, ($29,97 value) and it’s on sale now for only $23,97. Buy it here –>
Why? Because swirls rule! We all know that.
Get them now, and have fun creating!
Love,
Silvia

So finally, after a long time, they’re out to the light of the day:
Swirls II - The Resurrection Set!
(Do I sound like an Alien movie fan? :) I’m not!)
For last two years (or so) swirls are unchallenged on their throne of the modern graphic design elements. Swirls are used extensively in web and print banners, blog graphics, magazine front pages, scrapbooks, webs, posters, marketing campaigns, advertisements even at NYSE green Guinness background (just noticed that on CNN :) … can’t miss them.
And what I like about them is that in every illustration they can be used differently. Each graphic designer can find their own unique way to use them in their graphic design project.
And that is what I like about them. This brand new set contains, again, different kind of swirls, the ones that will bring out that special unique touch to your work. I designed them to help you make great graphics and, due to the sole nature of the brushes, they will empower you to make your graphics fast!
So, get up on the fast track - download Photoshop 7.0 Swirls brushes, make a few strokes with them (in your Photoshop 7.o or later or Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, or even Gimp) grasp their potential and make great graphics – now! (check out my graphics for some inspiration: Black and white background or Retro grunge background illustration or Brown and yellow illustration background)
