Light Graffiti in Photoshop

April 23, 2008 from abduzeedo's blog

A few weeks ago, Paulo published a really cool post about what he called “Awesome Light Graffiti Pictures”. I was completely blown away by the images and the crazy things they’re capable of doing just by taking pictures with a long exposure.

I received some emails asking me how to create that effect in Photoshop, and there are already some good tutorials on it, but I decided to write one myself. I’ll write 4 tutorials explaining how to do that in: Photoshop, GIMP, Pixelmator, and Fireworks.

I’ll start with the Photoshop one, and the final result you can see below. The tutorial will be published this week I think.

Update: You can read the tutorial at PSDTUTS.COM or clicking  here

This is a personal project that I've been planning for quite some time, and will be part of my demo-reel. Being aware of the amount of work ahead of me, the hours spent, and considering this will last for only a few seconds on the video, I decided to go ahead and model with all there is to it, starting on concepts, then on a simple but functional Basemesh, refining it on ZBrush, Multipass rendering and post-production in Photoshop.

She comes from a Marketing Management background and when it comes to Graphic Design she has her own definitions of goals that designers need to achieve.

 Book Suggestion: New Skateboard Graphics
Inspiration is everywhere, I believe everyone knows that but each one of us has some preferences or things that inspire more than others, in my case it's skateboard graphics. That's why the book suggestion of this week is about Skateboard Graphics. It's called New Skateboard Graphics. If you remember we ran a giveaway of this book 3 years ago, but I was checking it out again and had to add to our book suggestion list.
