My Favorite Action - As of Today...



So I decided I wanted to share my favorite action these days. It's by Night-Fate on DeviantART. Some great actions there and so many to download and try for free, but this if my favorite for now b/c of the way the blues look (and the colors are all bright) . . . Anyway. Just try it! :) 

Actionset 59 (Action #3 is the one)

Sample image is of beautiful Autumn Kahler and was taken by Gary Palmer, Captured Images, Inc.

More Exploding Colors


If you've been following the trend of my inspiration these days you'll remember that I was easily caught by the awesomeness of this style as inspired by wirestyle on DeviantART . So I have been reading some tutorials and trying a few new things. It still isn't to the level I want to be, but it's better than some of my recent attempts, so I decided to share it. :)

Here are before and after shots for you. If you have questions about what I did differently from my other tries you've seen just write me a comment or send me a message.

Some Fun and Useful Stuff

Ok, so I was looking around for some inspiration and help because I just HATE doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and, well, you get the idea. So I came across an author with a lot of great help... Click the title of this post to go to a great article on Design tips and scroll to the bottom for the previous 4 tips.

Through this reading I found this website, which has all sorts of color themes for designs, so I suggest taking a look for your viewing pleasure. :)

Enjoy!
