Behind The Veil - Artistic Creation


One of my clients needed me to create the temple veil for a website. After finishing the veil scene, I started playing around and decided to go ahead and create the rent curtain with the ark of the covenant behind the veil. After countless hours, here is my finished product. This was created in Photoshop using an actual photograph of a real curtain as a guide. I used the dodge tool and burn tool to create the flaps and ripples in the curtain. Let me know what you think.

Great tool for Photoshop Users

AutoSave plugin for Adobe Photoshop

It always helps to have good tools handy these days. Today during a search (and I’m always searching) I came across a very handy tool for those ‘absent-minded’ graphic designers (including myself). How many times have you been so focused on finishing a design that you forget to save and then out of no where a stupid runtime error pops up or you forgot that your daughter stepped on your laptop plug and unplugged it and your battery has been draining for the last 59 minutes? Well, I came across a photoshop plugin called psdAutoSaver. This plugin automatically saves your images being edited to a backup file as you work. You can try this out free for 30 days and it only costs $10 for a single user license.

For those cheap designers who don’t like to buy anything, here is how to get a free autosaver: wait until you’re working on a MAJOR project that you’ve spent countless hours on and your screen goes black or you take a break and come back only to realize that your auto-update has restarted your computer!!! I guarantee you’ll automatically save your work every 5 minutes from now on…Lol!!!
