This week I designed a poster for Duns Players production of The Tempest, which will be performed in September at Duns Volunteer Hall. I designed a dramatic image for the poster using all the Adobe Creative Cloud software. I created the waves in Adobe Illustrator. Then I took the design into Photoshop and added the dark shadows, then I added the text in InDesign. My client is very happy with the overall design.
I designed this quick Christmas card on my iPhone. It took only a few minutes to create. I used the Photoshop app and adjusted a stock image, then I added some decoration with a little bit of holly. Then I added the message. I think Photoshop for iPhone is handy for creating quick simple designs. I would still use my desktop PC for more complex designs.
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.
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.
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.
I designed this tent card for the Bank of Scotland many years ago. The client used stock photos and they had to be edited in Photoshop. I added ribbons to the image of the trophy. I designed this while I was working for a previous employer. I think I created a good design that was on a limited budget.
