Cinco webs de cursos y tutoriales que debes conocer Con la revolución de la fotografía digital a mediados de la década pasada y el nacimiento de redes sociales como Deviantart y Flickr, donde cada vez más aficionados y artistas podían interactuar de manera rápida entre ellos, es normal que el crecimiento de las webs didácticas y de distintos resources para fotógrafos, como por ejemplo las páginas de donde descargar presets de Lightroom gratuitos de las que te hablamos hace poco, fuese igual de rápido que el desarrollo de la disciplina en sí.

UnderConsideration / About The Design Encyclopedia The Design Encyclopedia is a user-built source of reference material with the sole intention of defining, describing, chronicling and documenting the world through design in all its implications and manifestations — from the visual to the tactile, from the communicative to the evocative, from the cultural to the commercial. Most everything — from cars to burgers to movies — can be dissected by its design application, use and history. With each entry The Design Encyclopedia will place common topics, artifacts, events, cities and more within the scope and context of design in order to showcase the influence that design, designers and the designed have in shaping the environments that we inhabit, the tools that we employ and, even, the experiences that we live. By funneling available information on the web, on newspapers, in books, on television, anywhere, through contributions from its users and editors, the design encyclopedia’s growth and depth proves potentially rich and unlimited.

Eye Sharpening - Photoshop Tutorial - 416 Studios With this tutorial you can create amazing, bright eyes within minutes. First retouch, adjust levels and do all necessary colour corrections on your image. With a Lasso Tool (L) select the eyes (hold Shift key to add to selection). Adding Space to Your Designs Let’s get the basic stuff out of the way first. Whitespace isn’t simply a block of space in your design that has to be white. Instead, think of it more like structural “empty” space, where no extra elements, embellishments or other parts to your design are placed. Essentially, whitespace is “unused” space, though I think that can be a bad term for it. Although whitespace may look unused, it does actually serve a very useful purpose in your designs and, in fact, works very hard.
An Introduction to Composition Composition is about laying out all your ideas and design elements into a whole; composing your design. We're going to combine all of the previous lessons that we’ve covered, and because of that it makes composition one of those really difficult aspects of designing anything. Creating a good composition will boost the users' experience when navigating around your site and will help mould a better design overall. We're aiming for alignment, consistency and strong unity. Composition also helps us to add a visual relevance to our layouts so that we can help our users understand more about their journey on a website, where they should head next. How to design your own typeface After many years as a graphic designer and type enthusiast, I decided to channel some of my passion into my own lettering and typography design projects.

How the Design Workflow is Changing Once upon a time, there was a method of design that involved plenty of time for brainstorming and upfront big picture planning. Designers could meet with all interested parties, puzzle over design challenges, and play with problems until they’d found a (theoretical) solution. Conversely, the many designers who do make Agile their own find it can actually be a boon for creativity, forcing them out of productivity-deadening perfectionism and keeping them on their toes as they try to meet changing constraints.
