Poster for Duns Secret Cabaret

 Last week I designed a poster for Duns Secret Cabaret, which took place on Sat 6th of September. The image shown is a scaled down version of the image I did for social media. 

Postcard from Islay

 Just back from a trip to Islay. I created this postcard using the Freeform app on my iPhone. It is pretty basic, but it was good that I was able to make something while on the move.

New Duns Players Productions for Autumn 2025

 This week I designed an advertorial for Duns Players. It promotes the 3 events they are putting on in the autumn at the Volunteer Hall in Duns. I had a limited time to create something, but managed to get it done in time. I used AI to create the image with the magnifying glass. The advert is going into the Duns Community Newsletter. Update: 24/08/25 I have just found out that the Murder Mystery show has been cancelled, but the advert has gone to press, so it will still appear in the Duns newsletter. For all show details visit dunsplayers.org.

Remove Background in Photoshop

 Today I removed the background from this stock image using Photoshop. The enhanced tool is pretty accurate and it managed to capture all the wispy edges like the hair. It did miss a bit of the left arm of the woman, but that can be easily fixed.

Information Sign at Grantshouse

 Last year I designed an information sign for Grantshouse Community Council. The sign points out some features in the area, like the electric charging point, the cafe and public toilets. This was a good project to work on.

Using AI generation in Photoshop

 Today I was experimenting with the AI generation tool in Photoshop. I added a boat to this stock photo. As you can see, its not perfect as the back of the boat isn't right. It's a bit scary how powerful it is though. I fear AI will cause many job losses in the creative industries.

Experimenting with Generative AI in Photoshop

 Today I used the generative AI feature within Photoshop to add a colourful butterfly to a photo of some flowers. The end result is pretty good. Is this the end of creativity? This blog is not written by a robot.
