60+ Fantastic High Quality Photoshop Grunge Brushes Set
We got a really good response when we posted an article on 44 Sets of Photoshop Lines and Vector brushes and 90+ Amazing Grunge Typography Collection (I really appreciate that). Thus I thought of combining the Photoshop Brushes with Grunge type , which could make up a very good combination in a lot of web and graphic projects. Grunge brushes could help you to give a different look and feel to your design and make it look different from the ones who have used normal set of Brushes.Photographer Martin Klimas Paints Like Pollock With Sound How do you paint with sound? It’s a good question and the answer comes from German photographer Martin Klimas . He starts by putting different colored paint on top of a speaker over some translucent material, then cranks up the volume. The vibrations of the speaker shoot the paint into the air creating beautiful patterns and sculptural forms, and Klimas snaps them with his camera while in flight. Each image becomes an abstract portrait of whatever song he plays—from Miles Davis to Kraftwerk.

My pal Jennifer Jafarzadeh is the former lifestyle editor for Redbook magazine I met many months ago when I was going office-to-office launching my Simmons Natural Care by Danny Seo mattress line. She included the mattress in a great story in Redbook called “Made in America” that featured 50 products made right here in the United States (the mattress is made in Wisconsin). Jennifer is now off blogging and doing a very fun, very visual and very thorough blog that only a former magazine editor could do. If you want to bookmark a place to get great decorating, entertaining and lifestyle advice, her blog is a place to click on over to. One idea that I love is this photo of coffee filters simply tacked to the wall as decoration. It feels very ethereal, floaty and artistic…and it only costs a few dollars to re-create.

Digitally blurred miniature fake of Jodhpur Original photo of Jodhpur Miniature faking , also known as diorama effect or diorama illusion , is a process in which a photograph of a life-size location or object is made to look like a photograph of a miniature scale model . Blurring parts of the photo simulates the shallow depth of field normally encountered in close-up photography , making the scene seem much smaller than it actually is; the blurring can be done either optically when the photograph is taken, or by digital postprocessing. Many diorama effect photographs are taken from a high angle to simulate the effect of looking down on a miniature.
