Dacs United 2011

April 27, 2011 from AoiroStudio's blog

About a year ago, we've featured an exhibition called 'Exposé' from Dacs. It's a design collective that enables creatives from all over the world to rise up against the sex trade. This year, they're back with a new exhibition 'Episodes' and calling designers to join their network for the next exhibition happening in late June.

We are a group of artists with a passion for making a difference in our world. We leverage our unique gifts and styles to produce artwork, to raise awareness of the injustice of sex trafficking and inspiring others to use their talents to impact the world around us.

Dacs is the vision of John Mark Herskind, a young talented designer from South Carolina, US. You can check his work on Johnmarkherskind.com , follow his work on Behance.net or follow him on Twitter @jmherskind .

About DACS

We want to see how effective artists can be when they start breaking the boundaries of culture, race, religion, and backgrounds to unite for a just cause, and use their unique styles and talents to give a voice to the voiceless.

Not to mention that all the submissions will be judged by Jennifer Cirpici from Breakingcanvas.com and Richard Roberts from Theotherstream.com.

 Illustrator Quick Tips #2 - Scatter Brushes
Brushes are very useful in Photoshop. We may create all sorts of effects, from clouds to grunge brushes and many others. In lllustrator it is no different, actually it's easier to create and use brushes than in Photoshop because you can preview how they will look and edit them in real time, what makes a big difference. Creating brushes is really simple: just drag a shape to the brush panels and that's it! You got yourself a brand new brush. Step 1
