Photoshop Projects Volume 14
Photoshop knows no boundaries. Whether it’s age, skill or training, you’re only limited by your imagination. In this issue, we talk to young guns like Sebastian Andaur, who’s making a name for himself as a freelance art director while still in high school. Then there are the illustrators and lettering masters who maximise the tools and techniques of Photoshop to suit their own needs. Check out Gabriela Fuente’s patterns, designed for high-end fashion clients and created in Photoshop. The beauty of Photoshop is that it has almost limitless possibilites. Use it to take ordinary photos into the realm of the extraordinary. Shane Monopoli and Mark Gardner show us how to composite a gothic drama at Windsor Castle, while Rachel Lewis goes behind the scenes to create highenergy cosplay images. There are also loads of tips and tricks, interviews and inspirational articles on everything from lettering and 3D work to complex layers and high-end retouching. Happy Photoshopping!

IN DETAIL<br />
Title: Dalmatians<br />
Brief: To produce a series of three images<br />
of dalmatians replacing their black spots<br />
with the colours of the inks the client<br />
produces. There was a sniffing, a<br />
balancing, and in this one, a smiling pose. I<br />
used several shots of the dog in each case<br />
to create the final images along with<br />
human eyes and teeth for that comic look.<br />
The spots were created through<br />
colourising the black spots and randomly<br />
painting them in.<br />

production managers and clients alike.<br />
I don’t specialise in a particular type<br />
of retouching as there isn’t enough work<br />
out there to specialise. Having said that,<br />
most of my work is fashion, beauty and<br />
jewellery followed by alcohol.<br />
What are the main characteristics<br />
of advertising briefs?<br />
01 DESIGN<br />
There’s usually less images on a campaign than editorial.<br />
02 DETAILS<br />
You’ll be expected to show a lot more attention to detail and quality.<br />
03 BUDGETS<br />
The budgets are higher so you’ll spend more time on one image.<br />
CREATIVE ELEMENTS<br />
There’s a lot more creative functions involved, maybe even other software packages, 3D, etc.<br />
04<br />
How much of what we see in the<br />
media has been retouched?<br />
Everything in the media has been<br />
retouched, even the images some<br />
companies maintain are not. Some<br />
more than others, but absolutely<br />
everything is retouched. Not a single<br />
image you see in the media is<br />
definitively true to life.<br />
Unless I’m doing a composite image,<br />
which is clearly a constructed piece,<br />
most of my work is delicate. The clients<br />
don’t want it known that their images<br />
are retouched at all. I like to think my<br />
work for those clients isn’t noticeable,<br />
although sometimes I am asked to push<br />
the images past that point.<br />
What’s the most popular element<br />
you’re asked to retouch?<br />
Next to general clean ups, it would be<br />
colour correcting and fitting garments,<br />
along with skin tone.<br />
