Rapture I photo manipulation

Another photo-manipulation design piece.I guess you could say this is a feature of my style and it is probably what I enjoy most about graphic design, being able to compose an imaginary image and create your own world, i guess. This particular image is what I like to call a 'freestyle' where i dont have a specific image in mind and just go with the flow. This is and entirely imaginary image with the moutains and field being completely seperate images strewn together to make a new landscape. Added in was the meteorites and fire trails as well as some smaller things such as cracks etc.. and a rapturous scene was created.

Website

I also do web design. Yeah well really this piece is more of a fantasy and showcase of my skills more than anything else as coding is something i really dont have time to learn. Although a website really shows how serious you are to the world and estabolishes a company or brand I think i'll stick to Blogger for the time being as it is hassle I dont need with promotion etc...
Anyway, the man design is relatively simple but professional at the same time. The homepage estabolishes what I am and what I do and is really effective with what would be a slideshow showcasing my work as well as a simple 'email me' button.

'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Minimalist poster. Minimalism is pretty hard for a designer as it requires control as you must find a unique balance between too much and too little. This is my first attempt and its something I will try and improve on.

A city Skyline is not unusual to see today, it is a classic sight, looking up, barely seeing sky above endless towers of steel.
This image changes that. There may come a day when this is a sight, when this image is through someones own eyes. This is what the image is. Entitled 'Containment' this image is one persons viewpoint as I try to imagine a sight if one day a city has to be broken down to stop a viral disease. This may not be as far away as we think as infections multiply and adapt to a point where we may not be able to stop them...

PhotoFlowGallery LogoType


This is a LogoType created for  PhotoFlowGallery. The main aim in this design was to incorporate 'Flow'.
That is why I have created a flowing shape, kind-of one movement sweeping downwards, that also spells out the P for photo. As you can see for this, along with all other logotypes I do, I made several different designs before presenting the final logo along with accompanying text.
I do takes logo request and you can contact me for imformation at jackbowler2009@gmail.com

A recent challenge between me and a good friend over at PhotoFlowGallery 

Student versus Pupil

I recently finished an image manipulation on Photoshop. I used three photographs I had taken; two of London from the perspective of The London Eye and one of the seascape in the West of Ireland. This is the result:


I sent the three same pictures to Jack Bowler so he could show me up ; ). He's pretty much The Don at Photoshopping and I learnt almost everything I know about photo editing from him. This is his version:
