[Article] How I design my graphics!

Do you wonder how I do most of my colour adjustments?
Read the article "How To Give Your Photos a Cool Retro Analog Effect" HERE!

This tutorial is one of the first I read after getting PS & it really helped to improve my skills. I really suggest that you take some tips from it! :)

While it's written for achieving retro-like effects, I took the gist of it & dabbled with the curves (especially the S-shaped bend that increases contrast), selective blurring (to draw attention away from background objects), vignette, noise, blending modes & (at times) light leaks.

I have no fixed way of designing my graphics but these are some techniques I use really often. Hope this helps! :)

There's no specific theme for this batch of graphics. I'm just refining old techniques & experimenting with new ones in here. :)

[Chat] PSD/XCF.gz files?

Would anyone like me to share the PSD (Photoshop)/XCF.gz (GIMP) files of graphics I've made?
I'm not going to make tutorials due to the amount of time it will take but I'm fine with putting up working files of graphics to share with everyone. What do u all think? If there's enough interest garnered, I will consider! :)

(Strictly speaking, the banners are of Kanin & Toby when they did an interview, not of the drama serial.)








Sidenote:
With 2 popular actors, Charmaine & Raymond, the ratings for My Sister of Eternal Flower [花花世界花家姐] are considered rather low (peaked at 30 pts for the 1st week). IMO, the plot thus far is quite weak (no offence meant!). I hope it picks up soon!

I haven't done graphics for the actual drama. I might do 1-2 for the part where Mike throws Hugo out of Xenus. But the bulk of the graphics will only be done for later episodes when the plot gets more interesting.

Sorry! I've not been in the mood to make graphics recently. So just 2 graphics to post today.

Moses Chan [陈豪] (Yes Sir.) & Tavia Yeung [杨怡] (Sorry, Sir!)

Actually I've completed 5-10 more graphics but I want to wait till I'm done with the whole set before posting them together. Look forward to "Your Favourite Male Leads Live in Singapore" banners, "My Sister of Eternal Flower" graphics & much more later this week!

& THANKS for the support! I've finally hit 1000 page views! :D (It's 1105 page views now!)

[Banner] Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir! [点解阿Sir系阿Sir] - Episode 1

The drama serial starts off with a police operation. Lo Sir, who was in the surrounding area, spotted a student buying illegal cigarettes and helped the police capture him. It turns out that Lo "Sir" is called as such not because he's a policeman but a teacher!


The school Lo Sir teaches in, Lam Tin Gwong [林天光], is infamous for having students who are the hardest to handle and is thus described as "Band 3 中的 Band 3".


A misunderstanding with Lo Sir results in K4 wanting revenge. This forced Lo Sir to resign. At the same time, his mum passed away after a long illness. He is down in the dumps.


Lo Sir then decides to apply for the police force, which he has aspired to join since young, partly because his mum's last wish was for him to chase his dreams. Will he be recuited?

The first 5 episodes of YSSS has set up a intriguing storyline! I can't wait to continue watching Monday's episode! Hmmm...The main cast is being introduced rather slowly. So far, we've only seen Moses, Tavia & Ron. I wonder if we'll see Linda in episode 6? Or will we have to wait further? Anw, just some graphics I made for YSSS (but not based on the storyline - that will come later.)

Sorry to all for the lack of updates! I've been feeling rather tired these two weeks & I've been having other things on my mind too. Yeah so I've not been in the mood for graphics-making. (Only Joe's graphic is made recently. The rest were made in early March.)
