Winslet Ages on Worth 1000

Kate Winslet ages and hundreds of other Photoshop fantasies. Here is an example of fashion photo editing with Faith Hill on the cover of Redbook magazine, and the Dove Evolution video.

A nice little video of an alphabet pop-up book.

Best Hand Lettering - at Lettercult

Lettercult's choices for best hand lettering for the first half of 2009. Above, Aron Jancso's favorite letter.

Cyborgs, Centaur, and Post-Humans

Shoot a high-resolution self-portrait (head and shoulders) - any pose, any accessories, clothes optional. Use Photoshop to mask and silhouette your portrait - removing it from the background. Alter the photo to reflect your fantasy - a fictional character, cyborg, etc. Watch the movie about masking and silhouetting in the Course Folder: 04_maskinghair.mov

Handmade Books

I found this site that has lots of handmade items, including books, journals, comics, etc. It's mostly for buying and selling things, but it has a pretty nice collection with a lot of different ideas for books...my favorite is the cereal book :)

Best Bookbinding Site

According to my friend, designer and book artist Barbara Zuckerman, the best resource for bookbinding instruction online is here.

You can see Barb's work here. And Philobiblon - a portal to many other bookbinding sites, is here.

Common Press

This is the print facility within the School of Design/Fine Arts department. Located in the basement of the Morgan Building on 34th St. The work is mostly produced by students in Fine Arts classes: printmaking, typography, and graphic design.

cool book

Doesn't say how to do it, but this looks cool.

Emily Martin, we saw her stuff at the library

cool book collection

Binding

Found this link about a nifty binding technique. You have to scroll down a bit.

I found it on this blog which I look at regularly. There's usually something cool.

Mike Perry's illustrative design

Nice work from a designer who used to work for Urban Outfitters in Philadelphia - now in Brooklyn, of course...

Links! Process and Inspiration

Chris showed me www.IllustrationMundo.com, which is a very cool site full of hundreds of illustrator's works and portfolios. A fine place to fish for a muse.


The second blog, School of Ill, is made by a dozen or so regular contributors--all of whom are young illustrators or art students from all around the world. They frequently put up sketches, works-in-process, and final pieces. Many styles and many subjects make for a diverse blog...

Scharf & Matisse Prints

These prints seem to tow the line between abstract and representational. I have the Matisse poster at home and the Scharf prints are at work.

Photo's and vector graphics mixed

This guy does really nice work with photo and vectors mixed. Check it out for project 3

Grunge

Grunge is kind of the term used for rough/dirty/worn/(grungy) looking elements in design. While we're going for decay, it might be worth looking at some of these things. Also I think they're snazzy (Comberg may not...)

you should probably photograph your own, however...

textures are useful for all sorts of things. Live trace, bring them into photoshop, etc.

Drawing in 2 and 3 Point Perspective

Skirkanich Hall - computer visualization in 2/3 point perspective and interior photo - architects: Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. Also see Diller, Scofido and Renfro. And an architectural visualization studio in Poland. For more, search for "architectural visualizations.'

repeating pattern tutorial

Here's a tutorial on making a repeating pattern. Kind of useful.

Icons

These are some images I found when looking for icons and symbols of leafs, as well as icon patterns. I thought it would be interesting to see how many complex forms could be simplified, and how these simplified forms can also be used to make complex  patterns.
