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!

you’d usually have with a lot of clients.<br />
Having said that, we still work with all<br />
kinds of clients from different industries.<br />
We have the ability to adapt our style<br />
to the client 100%.<br />
Sometimes we get clients that don’t<br />
understand the artistic feeling you’re<br />
going for. You’re trying to do your<br />
absolute best, but they won’t appreciate<br />
that. They want the basic work. It’s rare,<br />
but it does happen. You adapt to that.<br />
Social media is a key to expanding our<br />
business. We’re using it to keep in touch<br />
with our best fans, but we also use it to<br />
promote our artwork and get new clients.<br />
We’re actively involved in the digital<br />
communities too. We upload our works<br />
in galleries so we can get peer feedback.<br />
IN DETAIL<br />
Aim: This piece was about an escape into happiness so we<br />
wanted to create something warm, something like the sunrise<br />
at the horizon, something magical, evoking a sense of freedom.<br />
Inspiration: Nature, magic kingdom.<br />
Challenges: It was a real challenge this time. We wanted to achieve<br />
the right mix between a dream artwork with elements of the<br />
mainstream, because at the end, it’s still for a Festival event.<br />
Techniques: Lot of fusion mixes, lots of photomanipulation<br />
and Red Bull!<br />
Aim: We wanted to create something<br />
minimal yet powerful.<br />
Inspiration: Minimal design, geometry,<br />
glitch...<br />
Challenges: We wanted to make<br />
something new and this work was very<br />
technical. We were experimenting with<br />
glitch mixed with 3D modelling. We still<br />
used basics tools, because sometimes<br />
less is more. There was some brushwork<br />
with the pen tablet.<br />
We shoot our own images or we get<br />
them from stock, here and there.<br />
It always depends on the job.<br />
Process<br />
At the beginning, every project looks<br />
bad. Then you work on it, again and<br />
again, and finally something happens<br />
and it will go from “cool” to “OMG<br />
AMAZING.” That’s what I like about it.<br />
The process is always interesting; you<br />
never know where it’s going to end up.<br />
I’m personally inspired by music and<br />
nature. I can find inspiration just looking<br />
at clouds, with some drum’n’bass going<br />
on in my ears. Inspiration is everywhere,<br />
you just have to be in the right mood<br />
to catch it. Founding and working at<br />
French Toast is my dream job and that<br />
really helps the process. Although, I would<br />
love to do my job with some sun. We’re<br />
based in Belgium and it’s always raining!<br />
