Design theory: 10 tips to make your work more successful

[This article is not an example tutorial.] But a methodology. ]

Introduced

Image processing technology is used by many designers to create and creative works of art. Designers who use PS like to use these techniques very much. Once you have mastered the main points of image processing technology. Then no matter what the picture. As long as you can imagine. You can do it. Let's take a look at the following 10 tips on image processing. and browse those associated with professional image processing artist connections. Explain. The order of the following 10 tips has nothing to do with its importance.

1 Image separation

Known. Image processing usually blends many of the image elements onto a single canvas. These include ordinary image footage. It also includes your own photographic work. Let's say we need to put a tree in another image we're going to be working on. But the tree contains such things as leaves. Branches. Shadows and so on are not easily detached elements. This step is a little difficult to do. What are we supposed to do?

Most of the children's shoes that are familiar with PS use pen tools to paint the path. But the face of such a tree. The pen tool will not help you. So you might want to consider using a program called vertus Fluid Mask . It provides a special masking tool. You'll be able to isolate your image within a few minutes.

We cannot tolerate uneven edges and even a part of the background in the image. That's why I recommend this program. The following is a legend that uses this program.

2 Shadows

I will emphasize the importance of this article more than once in this article. Then you will understand the importance of shadows for a successful work. When you want to make a thing as real as possible. Then you can consider adding a shadow to it. Besides. The proportions of objects are to be noted.

Image processing allows you to take pictures of things that don't exist in the real world. and shadows are what we have to understand before we start creating images.

Here is a piece of work created for the slashthree Art Pack. It is a good example of the importance of a shadow to prove it. Even a fantasy scene. The shadow also makes it seem authentic. Look at this picture. Notice that almost all elements of the screen are shaded below.

Here's how to make a shadow. You just need to copy the elements that you need to add shadows to. and the copy layer to make the black. Or it's dark gray. And then slightly execute the Gaussian blur. Then change its size according to the circumstances. Tilt angle. and position.

3 ratio

Proportional coordination is probably one of the most important techniques in image processing. You can't always make your dog bigger than the house. But it depends on the position of the object.

The figure below is a very accurate representation of the legend. Watch out for the distant castle. In the distance. It must be very small. Far smaller is the principle of proportionality that we must follow.

4 using Textures

Adding textures is not a must. But it does make your image mix more naturally. The blending of image elements is a very important part of image processing. So you must also pay attention to the use of textures.

Textures can increase the depth of your work. For example, you want to get a dull, dirty picture. Then you can use a rough, chapped ground texture. Here I recommend a site where you can find a lot of textures. Blue Vertigo. [I've also introduced other texture sites in previous tutorials.] I don't know if you saved it.

The following picture gives the impression of being shabby and dark. It is used with a cracked surface texture. The 3D element in the center of the screen uses the same color as the texture. So the picture fusion is very beautiful. Remember. If you don't have a proper background to foil the elements of the picture at hand. Then find a texture to match it.

5 selection Material

Picking material is the first thing you need to do after you have an idea. You don't always have the perfect separation of what you want in your existing material. Sometimes they have an angle deviation. Some will not be very clear. Anyway, you're not too happy with them.

Let's look at some of the material below.

Figure 1. This is a very good picture. But in general we don't use it. Because it's a little blurry. It is not easy to blend with backgrounds or textures.

Figure 2. This is the material of a good old car. It's big and clear. You can clearly see every angle and shape of the car. It would be perfect to put the car on a shabby textured background.

Figure 3. This picture is difficult to use. It is difficult to isolate the desired part from this blurry picture. Even if you can do it. Then the detached elements don't look very good either. Remember. We try not to use vague material.

Figure 4. This picture is a good source of material. It is easy for us to isolate the car and use it.
