Photoshop Friday
I’d like to introduce a new regular feature where we could showcase people’s Photoshop work and spread a little link love. Based heavily on the wonderful Illustration Friday idea, which I first saw mentioned on Tara’s Graphic Design Blog.
So here’s the plan. Every Friday, a new theme or quote will appear on this blog. Participants can then create a composition in Photoshop based on this, and the interpretation is entirely up to you. It might be a photograph you’ve manipulated, an illustration created from scratch in Photoshop or whatever you like. I’ll put a link to the image and your site here the following Friday. This is entirely for fun and I’d love to see work from people of all levels - novices and pros alike. If you already have created a Photoshop image that’s appropriate to the topic, feel free to use it. Closing time for entries is the following Wednesday.
What I’m looking for:
A composition created in Photoshop based on this weeks theme.
The link to your site or where your image is located. (please don’t send the actual image).
If you don’t have a web page and would like to get one, wordpress and blogger are free and easy to set up. I can also link to your Deviantart or Flickr page.
So to get the ball started … this weeks theme is;
“Castles In The Air”
p.s. Contact me or comment if you have any questions or suggestions.

Great site!!

Hi Lisa
Are you sure you can’t be tempted? There’s no judging involved, just sharing …
Will look forward to seeing something from you in the future!
Well, i am in for a bit of a play… ill get some sketches going first :P.
Screw the impending college exams, reports and graphics deadlines.
Nice one, Luke. That’s the spirit!
I work mainly in Adobe Illustrator but I’ve been wanting to merge the two together. So please keep me updated on the project and I may get to it. I’m under heavy deadlines right now but I’d like to try it out.
This is a great idea. I regularly participate in photo challenges, but I am awful with photoshop and aside from cropping them, I have no idea how to do anything
Good luck!
Hi Scott,
Please join in when you get through your deadlines. The work on your website is absolutely wonderful and it would be great to share it here!
Hi Ses5909 maybe you can use one of your images for this theme and do some creative cropping! Absolutely anything goes so don’t be worried about HOW photoshopped the image is.
Great idea Jennifer,
I should have better things to do but this is a great challenge.
To those who feel that their Photoshop skills are not up to scratch - just go for it - its the idea behind the execution that counts
Graham, whaddya mean “better things to do”?!?!? Better than playing with Photoshop? OK, maybe there are a *FEW* things more important …
Looking forward to seeing your work.
Hey Jennifer,
I love this initiative. I’m not sure that I can find the time to send something this week, but I’ll try.
Hi,
I have just finished a quick mortal kombat inspired piece for your Castles In The Air theme. Check it out.
