Listado de Figuras Retóricas. 35 Beautiful Music Album Covers. Advertisement Album cover art is often considered to be one of the “extincted” fields in modern graphics design. In times when digital copies are cheaper and quicker to get, album covers have somehow lost their importance as less and less customers actually buy CDs and LPs in the stores.

This post was originally published in 2008 The tips and techniques explained may be outdated. Using simple shapes can produce some great looking contemporary designs that fit well as impactful posters, a good example being the recent Trendy Geometric Lines tutorial. This time we'll look at stripping back the tools to creating an interesting and eye-catching poster with a single typographic word. Find a random image to base the design on, the subject of the photo isn't at all important, just choose a picture with varied contrast and preferably tailored towards your chosen colour scheme. In this case I've picked out a landscape scene with a mix of blues and greens.

Open up the image in Adobe Photoshop and resize accordingly. Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, drag the slider almost all the way to the maximum to completely disguise the original subject and blend together the colours and tones.

After seeing some recent Type work by Vicenç Fontanet (or, Drasik), in his recent project for “Miniblack“, I just had to give the effect a shot myself in Photoshop. It’s a wondeful little style that could easily be integrated into any dark graphic design where some upbeat text is needed.

Step 1 – Choosing a Background For the best results with this effect, you’ll want to use a dark background. The background should have a hint of color, and should avoid from being too dark (such as pure black). Being inspired from Drasik’s work, I’ll use a dark violet (#120612). Just to get this out of the way, as you may notice throughout this tutorial, there are LOTS of different ways to go about accomplishing this effect – this is just the way I found to be most convenient.

Step 2 – Setting the Type We’ll be setting the type in a not-so-traditional way, which will allow us to get a special layering. You’re image probably looks something like this (Quick Note: Type used below is Century Gothic): Step 8. Abduzeedo | Graphic Design Inspiration and Photoshop Tutorials.

El jardín de la victoria del mañana 1 Durante la primera y segunda guerra mundial, en EEUU se inició una campaña de concienciación a la ciudadanía sobre la utilización de los jardines y parques para el cultivo de vegetales y frutas: “The Victory Garden”. Joe Wirtheim es un diseñador gráfico estadounidense que decidió retomar el proyecto al que llamó: “El jardín de la victoria del mañana. La nueva propaganda americana”.
