In 2008 I came up with a technique using the Brush Tool in Photoshop to create a digital bokeh effect. Then I mixed it with some gradient colors blended all together. The effect has become quite popular so I decided to upgrade a little bit the effect.
So in this tutorial I will show you how to create a digital bokeh effect with hexagons. We will use the brush engine, patterns, blend modes and basic filters to achieve this effect.
The wallpaper of this week is really cool, it's an image from Brett Whatmough, a very talented digital artist from the UK. You can check some of his works on hist DeviantArt page at http://brettuk.deviantart.com/
Im currently working at Manchester United as a web designer/ graphic designer so most of my stuff there is mainly commercial. So when i get home it totally switches and i try really let my imagination go.
The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
