Messing Around With Photoshop Is Easy

I just started to rediscover how fun it is to manipulate and create images using photoshop. I took a short introductory class a few years ago, and like most things you learn and don't practice, many of the skills I once knew now leave me scratching my head. However, it is really simple to explore and teach yourself as you go along, with the satisfaction of quick results. Anything that you experiment with can turn into a creation, whether it me unintentional or mathematically calculated. Champ makes some pretty amazing fliers for bands using photoshop and he has mostly learned from teaching himself. It might seem frustrating at first, especially if you think you could do a lot more if you knew quick keys to hit for certain effects to save time, but sometimes the gratification of discovering something on your own is greater than having a million tricks under your belt because you know the shortcuts. The first image is a flier Champ made using photoshop. The second is my first experiments entitled "Midday and the world might be melting" and "Do you see me like I see you?"Get a bootleg version (I mean, pay for the program!) and see what you come up with, and share your creations with us!
