Foray into Photoshop

I've recently started to work on learning Adobe Photoshop. It's intimidatingly powerful software, which is why I've been reluctant to get into it before, but now I see it in a different light because I focus more on the amazing potential that this array of features has to offer me. Even after a couple tutorials I'm inspired to further explore a neglected creative side of me. Here are some of my first projects:

  1. I adore photoshop. It definitely lets you stretch those creative muscles that life's other obligations too often order constrained for efficiency's sake.

    I especially like your "language" picture. Have you played around with wordle before? (http://www.wordle.net/) It reminds me of a reverse version of what you've done. (Try uploading an old term paper... I think there's something gutturally pleasing about watching it turn your analytical art into something visual =D)


    If you're on the lookout for more tutorials, Helen Bradley's were among my favorites when I was first learning.
