Review artwork and a brief tutorial.

Ali Chorov — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 16:48:03 +0000

I have just finished my latest artwork called I love the coffee smell. It’s made from scratch in Photoshop and Illustrator. In this post I will show you the final artwork and a brief explanation of how I made it.

It’s a mix of vectors and paintings which give this nice look and feel. Hope you like this.

Step 1

First I started this artwork willing to design a simple cup of coffee in Illustrator. So the first image was this cup I designed:

The cup looked nice but too simple. I was not satisfied of this result. So a friend suggest me to change the colors of this.

Step 2

The more good looking coloured cup:

This one is much better, the red colors give a new look of the cup and they fit good with the hearts.

Step 3

Need a background:

The beautiful cup need a beautiful background. So I have copied the cup from Illustrator and paste in Photoshop as a Smart object. Started to play with the brush tool, adding the background, the table first, the window and the curtains. Feels better but still simple.

Step 4

This curtains does not look so much good. Change them!

Here a friend give me those suggestions: The curtains not look good, add book and maybe a vase and work on the window. Yes this tips are useful and exactly good critique. The book and the pen are vector here. Other objects just a drawing.

Step 5

This curtains need to be more transparent.

That is a good tip again for this artwork and definitely worked well. Just played a bit with the opacity of the curtains layer to make them a bit more transparent.

Step 6

Add a picture at the wall and we’re done.

So added a picture and moved the cup and the book around till I like it. That’s my final artwork.

Hope you like it and feel free to reply to this with your questions, suggestions or critique.

Some little css tips you can use in your blog

Ali Chorov — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:53:13 +0000

Today I want to share with you some little CSS tips which I am sure you will like if you don’t know them. This are 2 tips which will make your site to look a little bit better in some way. If you have noticed all the images in my blog now have this not so good looking 1-2px border around them. To remove this border I should put a rule in my css file which is:

a img{ border:none; }

Before: After:

This will remove border from all the images in your web site If you need that. For example in my case I want it removed.

Next little tip is about change the text highlight color in your posts. But I’ll show you the tips only for Firefox, Safari and Opera. You should put this code in your css style document:

::-moz-selection{ /* Firefox */
background:#d6e0c8;
color:#000;
}

::selection{ /* Safari and Opera */
background:#d6e0c8
color:#000;
}

And after all I have this:

I hope you have litked this little tips and you’ll use them in your web sites too.
