web Design in Photoshop Tutorial
Today I will be briefly discussing a tutorial I have completed for a web design project, and some techniques I learned along the way. The tutorial is from H-Vdesigns http://www.hv-designs.co.uk/2008/03/18/funky-web-design-layout/. The greatest part about the tutorial is the use of all the colors that really bring the piece together. Throughout the tutorial you see the liberty you have to complete every task, i.e color. I searched for the mention of the colors used in the design and the Author didn’t mention the all. I didn’t look at this as a lack of communication but rather as a challenge and a way to get out of the box and use creative thinking. I learned a little more about the importance of layout and how to incorporate flow with every element in the design from the position and directin of the vector arrows down to the placement of the text. Flow and harmony will always sell a design even if it’s not the best design in the world, with the use of foundational concepts of proximity, repetition, and consistency, you will keep your designs in balance. The creativity in the design was cool as well. The vector trees and ink splatter along with the vector rings and then those paint buckets ads the modern grunge and abstract feel to the piece. WIth that said, check out the tutorial and try it for yourself, if anything it will help sharpen your photoshop design skills and expand your design palette.
