On the CD

Exhibit

Prehistoric monsters, reptiles, deserts and dramatic skies were your tools for issue 13’s Readers’ Challenge. Here’s what you came up with…

THE WINNER!

Issue 13’s challenge came about after the Photoshop Creative team watched Jurassic Park, which lled our minds with scenes of scary creatures xed on taking over the world.

So we raided our image banks and ri ed through all the reptiles, deserts and dramatic pictures we could nd. The results may not look that inspiring when seen in isolation, but luckily your imaginations have turned them into something to be reckoned with!

Well done to Stefan and Emma for taking the mammoth picture and creating a realistic composition that looks like it belongs in a natural history magazine. Also well done to George Boyce for producing a couple of excellent photo collages. We really liked the mood and textures in these.

The observant among you will also notice a few entries using older challenge pictures. Remember, there are no deadlines to the challenges, so these are more than welcome! In fact our winner this issue used issue 12’s cover tutorial to create this excellent vector look, so a big congratulations to Paul. But how could we fail to include some more penguin pictures? Jack and Neil have kept the penguin res burning with their creations. Long may they live!

WINNER! Gets a copy of the Fluid Mask plug-in

Vectored girl

“I always had problems using the paths in Photoshop. I followed your tutorial in issue 12, which was a great help. After getting the hang of things I went on to create this image and a mobile phone image. I used the Emboss effects to give a realistic phone. You’ve been much help.”

If You Go Down…

“The background is a photo I took of a piece of rusty iron sheeting and the lady is a picture of my wife’s aunt.” Twins Again

“The second ‘egg baby’ was produced by making selections of the original lizard and rotating them around the body, having relocated the point-of-rotation there.”

It Suits the Penguin Girl to Walk the Beach Road with the Rhino Hat On

“There was that one challenge to model a new creation, for the girl to walk among her friends. And I didn’t even have to shoot a rhino for the hat.”
