This post is part of the free calendar wallpaper series. Each month I create a new wallpaper featuring the current calendar. Looking at the same image over and over again is not very stimulating. Hence having a new desktop background each month should help getting your creative juices flowing. The September 2010 Calendar Wallpaper is entitled “Noise”. I’ve recently watched “2001: A Space Odyssey” which gave me the inspiration for this design. Some screenshots were actually used for colour reference. I hope you like it. Feel free to leave a comment and share it with others if you do. Thanks.

When I first stumbled upon Irina Vinnik I was blown away. This Russian illustrator is a true artist. Looking at the beautiful hand drawn sketches makes me envious of Irina. The only thing I can’t decide is whether I prefer her raw sketches or the finished pieces. Don’t miss out and visit Irina Vinnik on Behance for more inspiration.

This tutorial will teach you how to recreate the lightning effect used in the recent Sky logo version. While you can see this type treatment on posters around the UK I first discovered the beautiful glossy typography in their ads on TV. I loved it instantly so I decided to write a tutorial on how to create this type effect in Photoshop. A little knowledge of the program is required, though I believe you should be able to follow the step by step instructions whatever your degree of expertise.
You will learn tricks about selections, blending modes and colour overlays. If there’s any questions please feel free to leave a comment and I’ll do my best to address the issue. I hope you enjoy it. Read the rest of this entry »

This post is part of the free calendar wallpaper series. Each month I create a new wallpaper featuring the current calendar. Looking at the same image over and over again is not very stimulating. Hence having a new desktop background each month should help getting your creative juices flowing. August 2010 Calendar Wallpaper is entitled “Lighthouse” and as for last month’s calendar I opted not to put the name on it. It was great fun playing with all the different colours in various blending modes to achieve this vibrant feel. Again, the calendar wallpaper is available for the iPad and iPhone 4 with retina display. I hope you enjoy and would love to hear what you think of it.
