Crush by @rachelantonoff & @biancagiaever | A Fashion Short Film In spite of previous statements I have made decrying the devolution of the fashion film genre (which I generally stand by), the high points of fashion film in 2013 were quite high. Roshambo instantly enchanted audiences and marketers alike (New York production companies are being inundated with brands referencing the film in their RFP’s), and Wes Anderson, in his inimitable way, almost singlehandedly validated the trend of hi-profile filmmaker collaborations (sorry Marty). I’d add today’s film, Crush to the mix. Adorable and sincere, the premise and craft of the film outshines even the strong performances of its famous on-screen talent. The Spring 2014 film for Rachel Antonoff, the film recreates the humorous story of the designer’s parents meeting, and falling in love. Antonoff, after pegging Lena Dunham to direct the label’s previous Fall film, turns to a relative unknown Bianca Giaever, to split writing and directing duties.
Making Complex Selections in Photoshop - DesignFestival » For Web Design Trends | Inspiration | Design Theory | Colors | Web Fonts | UX | Photoshop | Tutorials and more Making precise selections in Photoshop is an essential skill that every designer needs. As a print designer, you will find yourself using selections to remove objects from their background to place within ads. As a web designer, you might extract an image and place it on a website with no background. If you are a photographer, you might make a selection to remove blemishes or other unwanted features from an image. So, what do you do when you have something that is extremely difficult to select with normal selection tools? Even with the masking and channels, you can’t make a precise selection consistently. You can try the quick selection tool, which does a great job of making a selection of the bulk of the image, but making a more refined selection is difficult with this method. In comes Refine Mask to the rescue. The Refine Mask menu is one of the best tools for refining your selection. We can fix this by using the Smart Radius Slider. This is called fringe.
Photoshop vintage effect Back in October I took this photo, in front of our house. A cool scene, bright colors and a double rainbow. After seeing this picture on my Flickr page, I received an e-mail from Marco who asked me about the post process of this image. Now here is my answer… Choose your image carefully First of all I need to mention that some pictures are better suitable than others. Add contrast and saturation Place the image in a separate layer. Adjust curves Add another adjustement layer. Select Green from the Channel dropdown menu and adjust the curve as shown in the image above. Now select Blue from the Channel dropdown menu and adjust the curve as shown in the image above. Add Vignette effect Select the layer with your photo and go to the Filter menu and select "Convert for Smart Filters". Now go to the Filter menu and select Distort > Lens Correction. Add some Colorisation Your photo should look pretty dramatic right now with a lot of contrast. The final touch Before and after Here is another example:

Follow this walkthrough as I take you through the steps I took to recreate this detailed design with nothing more than gradient and pattern effects. The design itself is made up of a range of concentric circles, with each group varying in size. Each circle is given a base colour from 6 core swatches, then gradients and pattern fills add detail and depth. Before getting into the main design, we’ll need to create our pattern fills. In my design I’ve used a dotted pattern and a repeating square pattern, but there’s many more possibilities to explore. Hold ALT while clicking the dragging the circle to make a duplicate. Make three more copies and move each one to the remaining corners of the canvas. Create a new document, but this time draw two black squares that take up a quarter of the canvas. Next, add a subtle Drop Shadow.
