Blaire's Graphic Gallery Redux

So, a little fact that you may or may not know about me - I happen to be interested in a career in graphic design. And all dreams have to start somewhere, do they not? So, since the new year is coming up and that jazz, that means resolutions. And one of my resolutions is to create at least one design a week to keep my skills sharp. This can include things like signatures, avatars, designs for posters, re-imaginings of art for game cases, ect.

Plus, my new computer came with Photoshop and I don't want the program to go to waste~

So, I guess I could start with the above (simple) design I created as sort of a cover page. Basically it was the result of combining two tutorials to create what you see above. Not my best work, but this is coming from someone who has not used Photoshop in years. I'm hoping with practice and such I'll get back to the skill level I was at before.


(And yes, I had another art topic before this, but that hardly ever got updated and I figured a fresh start was in order here)

Looks good. I studied graphic design, so if you ever have questions don't hesitate to ask. Do you have Adobe Illustrator or inDesign? Great programs for graphic designers.

@Pianta: Nope. 'Fraid all I have right now is Photoshop Elements 9.

So, anyway, I experimented with something I found on a tutorial and came up with this thing;

I guess it's some sort of abstract advertisement or something? *shrug*

Spoilering this because it would stretch the page out.

What you see here is the header for a blog I'm starting. I hope to have the first entry up tomorrow. It'll primarily be a Sonic game review blog, but I will not be afraid to branch out into other horizons (hence the name) when it comes to games.

I can swear there's something making an appearance from all those white layers. (Note, I might not know what I'm referring to.)
But serious I can't the be the only one seeing an characteristic image next to the IPod image.

First one was awfully shiny. He he! In a good way. :D

Looking good Blaire, I'm sure you'll improve as you progress adding something new each week.
Working on banner, but if your looking to have some time off. Come, visit my channel on youtube.

Wow. So much for 'one design a week'. I suck at keeping resolutions. V_V

Anyway, new avi/sig combo!
