and probably the last post before the launch of my website :)

I have been planning my graphic design website and will be launching it soon, however I have decided it has been waaay too long since my last blog post! Geez I am lazy. 

Definitely time to post a little something again! I am not at home in Berlin where my mac and work are at the moment- but I felt the urge to post something again to fill the gap. Just a little apperitive before I upload all my uni work for this year so far, and other private doodles or tutorials- and of these I have several because I've had an awesome tutor this year.

Mainly I have been practising Adobe Photoshop vigorously the past few days and weeks (and at least attempting almost every tutorial that caught my eye online), so that hopefully I will have a more or less impressive selection in my website..

Anyway, before I promise too much here a few little photoshop tutorials I have been doing recently:

  

A tutorial for Photomanipulation for which I used a Stockphoto. Mainly just created layers of colours to make the sky more colourful and vibrant, mucho changes in hue and saturation of course and some fooling around with light effects and large curly glowing letters, bringing the lightness to the image.

And again a tutorial for photomanipulation. Actually it was for the movie poster of Knightrider - but since it features an Audi I thought I might as well do the honours and turn it into an Audi ad. Nice car after all :) .

And a simple tutorial working with the layer option and blending- which didnt want to work properly on the windows edition I'm using though... Well, I'll be back on my Mac soon to upload many more and better images to my website soon :)

and finally some Photoshop stuff:

Based on an image I saw online, I tried to create similar glow and colour effects with the Brandenburg Gate, Berlin.













a tutorial for:

Here I decided to create my own Mac- Desktop image, mainly to practise using the gradients and glow effects.

And my first attempt to create a sub-aquatic image:

and the final touch of Illustrator (though I'm afraid the quality suffered due to a humassive amount of file shrinking):

This was a design for a design competition with the brief:

An A3 or A2 (portrait) piece of design that expresses the importance or key elements of design.

The (sadly very late) discovery of the multiply effect..

... and rediscovering the 3D- effects.

Typographic doodles for my little literature post

... a few quotes I like personally. Which I also think represent the power of words.

And of course the infamous and continuous doodle with Photoshop.

at your service:

"Ich bin ein Berliner". JFK
Berliner Eloquenz, aka


DEUTSCH ist im Grunde meine Muttersprache(, da ich sie im Alter von zwei Jahren erlernte). Da ich auch in Deutschland aufwuchs und mich schon immer sehr fuer Literatur interessierte, arbeite ich, wie auch in folgenden Blogs und Projekten, gerne mehrsprachig.


Una Colombiana
soy yo. Y pues el Español también es my lengua materna. Aunque, honestamente no la domino perfectamente, me sirve para el copywriting. Pero me encanta utilizar varias idiomas, y para eso las tengo. 


And not to forget English.
These are three reasons, as well of course as my passion for text and design, for my first little project on this blog to be a literature campaign.


Thank You for looking at my blog!
