Creating a Vector Composite Effect from a Photo

Author’s comment: “This tutorial will demonstrate how to take an image, in this case a woman’s face, and give the appearance that it is entirely composed of vector shapes. Along the way, we’ll use some fairly basic techniques, including clipping masks and displacement maps, to achieve a unique effect!”

Digital Compositing and enhancing

Author’s comment: “Turning an ordinary digital photo into something vibrant and fanciful may be easier than you think. If you don’t have any photos of your own, DeviantArt provides a great place to find free stock photos to use. We’ll be using a great scene from Chonastock. Here we have a costumed model posed in a dark, rocky setting. Lets see how we can improve on it, with some quick adjustments in photoshop, to create a movie-poster-like picture.”

Advanced Glow Effects

Author’s comment: “In this tutorial we’re going to create some really sharp looking glow effects using a combination of layer styles, the pen tool and colour blending. The end effect is quite stunning and hopefully you’ll pick up some tips you didn’t know before.”

You can use these in all sorts of situations, including the obvious – your desktop as well as part of your designs or for corporate work (powerpoint presentations, flash work etc). Naturally you wouldn’t want to use this exact set of steps, but following them will give you a good idea of the technique. Good luck!”
