We all know that deadlines is a challenge: it's not just about the money problem, it's about getting valuable time. This is why building a practical and effective workflow can ensure that your plan is done in a step-by-step way throughout the project.

Like many creative people, I prefer to learn and practise new skills in my spare time. In the process, I like to build their own creative library, or some of the picture material for their own work to bring endless potential and surprises. Whether it's in AI, PS, or 3D software, if I have some interesting elements, I'll group them in a folder for later use. This method is very useful for future work. When you're mad because you don't have an idea, try flipping through a folder like this.

Create an abstract vector gradient

01 Choose a portrait photo to ensure that the size of the work area is A4 file (Ai Software), and then save. This photo is updated automatically with your adjustments in PS. You can use the masking mask tool to try to experience. There is a good way to use the layer in PS, one layer is placed picture, one layer is the guide line, the other layer is put text and some other picture elements.

02 Open the picture you imported: Create a new file and select International standard paper in the Pull-down menu. A4, transparent background, 300dpi resolution. Next, drag your picture into this new file and match the size to your AI file. Once these are done, add an adjustment layer, choose hue saturation, and adjust the saturation to a minimum, and the color becomes black and white.

03 Next we use the Pen tool to draw a circle around the face. Adjust each node to know that you have a rounded natural figure, and then double-click the path to name it. ctrl+alt+ Click the path to convert to a selection, and then press DELETE to delete the graphic you selected.

Use smart objects and layer styles to categorize:
