How to Create a Retro Boxing Poster in Photoshop As it's Graphic Design Week here on Psdtuts+, let's take a look at some basic Graphic Design principles and cast an eye over the Boxing Poster aesthetic from yesteryear. Creating a retrograde look is nothing new, but there are some things to keep an eye out for when mimicking Graphic Design from any decades past. We'll be drawing inspiration from Poster Design from the 1960s, particularly Boxing Posters from that era. As with any design project, you'll need to decide upon the medium which will carry your message. It's very good practice to sketch out a few ideas before sitting in front of the computer. Of course, for this type of project we'll need old paper stock. As the paper stock is from the 1960's (not really, but that's what we're aiming for), it wouldn't look quite this ancient so add a couple of Adjustment Layers to sort it out. ...and Hue/Saturation (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation). Now we can start building up the poster design based on the original sketch.

Elliott Erwitt Shares 12 Priceless Street Photography Tips “Photography is an art of observation – it’s about creating something extraordinary out of the ordinary. You choose a frame and then wait until the right time for something magical to come along and fill it. " - Elliott Erwitt Photographer Elliott Erwitt was recently commissioned by luxury single malt brand, The Macallan, to capture the spirit of Scotland in the "Great Scottish Adventure." Elliott, who's known for his shrewd observational skill and subtle humorous style, came back with 158 fantastic new images, some of which you can see right here. As The Macallan states, "Shot against dramatically different backdrops in the Highlands and Islands, Glasgow and Edinburgh, Elliott captures the beauty of the perfect moment. His collection showcases the traditions and eccentricities of the Scottish people, as well as, his most loved subjects – dogs."

Origami X-Wing instructions Here are step-by-step instructions for how to make an origami x-wing, as seen at Picocon 22, and demonstrated by Alex Crosse. He is a proper Origami club person; the terribly un-technical descriptions are entirely my (Dormouse's) fault. This was done using a 15cm-square of thin paper, coloured on one side and white on the other - the x-wing ends up coloured all over. When making folds, try to be as precise as possible, particularly when folding a corner in half! Start with the coloured side (here blue) face up. Fold along one diagonal, open it up, then fold along the other. Turn the paper over, and fold horizontally, open up again, then vertically. Squash the paper together, inwards along the folds, so that this square shape is formed. Fold one of the closed flaps towards the centre Then unfold the flap, and fold it back on itself, the other way. Unfold the flap again, and open up the inside and squash it flat. Fold one white side down to the centre. Unfold it. Repeat on the left. Finished!

Successful Photography Business | 5 Steps to a Thriving Photography Successful Photography Business | A lot of people think that a love for photography is what makes your photo business booming, but the truth is that enthusiasm will not establish your success on its own. The days of having just immense talents of looking through a lens for the most magnificent angles will not be sufficient to make you successful in this industry today. It is just too competitive out there, and it is definite that your work will be drowned out with the rest. Only having a talent is just not enough, and there are just too many hungry artists that have romanticized the photography business. Like it or not, photography is a rough and competitive business that requires a marketing plan and intelligent sales skills, so you will need to do some research and groundwork to manage a successful photography business, even if you by now have the skills for taking photographs that appeal to potential clients.

7 Creepy Video Game Easter Eggs Youll Wish Were Never Found Video game Easter eggs can be a fun way to motivate players to continue exploring a game they've completed ... or they can be terrifying experiences that make sure the players never go near that game again. We've told you about those Easter eggs that took years to be found; here are some more that we wish had remained undiscovered. #7. Portal 2 -- Hidden Messages and Rape-y Sounds Portal 2 brought us everything we loved about the first game (portals) and left out everything we hated (cake-related meme horseshit). Who knew a game about ripping holes in reality could get creepy? For instance, in one of the earlier test chambers of the game, you can find an abandoned room hidden off to the side of the level, much like the abandoned rooms found in the original game. Above: Either a screen grab from Portal, or literally any alley in Philadelphia. If video games could smell, we're pretty sure Portal would stink of this guy's poo. Rat Man's DenUm, spoilers? #6. Unless you count the Monkey People.
