Photography, feed icons and brushes

I present you with my latest list of Photography and design tutorials, articles and tips.

Shooting the new Smirnoff ad campaign

PhotoshopSupport.com has published an interview with Mark Waugh and how he created the stunning “liquid scuplture like” images for Smirnoff’s newest ad campaign where water splashes are shaped as glasses. Mark goes through the thinking process, explains the technical side of the project and how he shoot 1400 images to get the final 3.

Feed Icons

The Mozilla foundation has created a website where you can download feed (RSS) icons and get tips and code-snippets to implement them on your website/blog.
“The feed icon should be used to indicate the presence of information provided via web syndication in an open format, including in particular the widely-used RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom 1.0 formats.”

Edit: You can download a lot of cool RSS icons here.

Photoshop brushes and patterns

Brusheezy.com is a place where brush- & pattern-makers share their files, and that makes it’s one of the biggest sites of it’s kind out there.

All the brushes and patterns are free and you can always share your own files if you want.

“Depth of field is influenced by three main factors: 1) Aperture, 2) Focal length, and 3) the distance to the subject.”
