Last week I was playing with Photoshop, experimenting some photo treatment techniques. Cameron, a friend of mine, showed me one in particular and it really got my atention. The technique used the Lab Color Mode and some other very interesting steps.
In this tutorial I will show you this really cool photo treatment using some Image Adjustments and also, we will play with the Liquify Filter to create a crazy effect.
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Diego L. Rodríguez called NAMAZU, a designer, digital artist and photographer from Spain but currently based in Mexico Distrito Federal, Mexico. This artwork represents a personal visualization of this amazing catfish causing an earthquake. Is one of the multiple projects I have in mind representing creatures, symbols and techniques used by Japanese artists throughout the history. It's one of the illustrations created for slashThree's latest exhibition "Paradigm Shift".
The book suggestion of this week is about colors, one of the most important skills for any designer. The book is called Color Design Workbook: A Real World Guide to Using Color in Graphic Design and it's not only a very useful book, it's a very well designed one.
