Photomanipulation is the use of different imaging techniques in order to create a different image ( improvement, illusion , alteration) by digital means. People often regard to Photoshop as the main “photomanip tool ” but however, we can use other programs like GIMP , Corel Photopaint , Paintshop Pro and even Adobe Fireworks CS4.
Here’s a continuation from part 1. The past 2 years have been quite busy with work and other things that I couldn’t design artworks like I used to ( I didn’t have a job back then , lol ) . Fireworks is a superb program for creating artworks =). Clicking on the images leads you to my deviantart account , some files have source pngs too.
This a long list of fireworks artworks I have created since using fireworks 4. It started out when I created interfaces , or music player skins. Back in the old days, deviantart was more focused into skinning and interfaces, till it got mainstream and included other forms of art, which in turn also influenced my art style over the years. You will see interfaces , wallpapers , photomanipulations , combo of vector and bitmap techniques, everything done in fireworks without using third party plugins. Clicking on the images leads you to my deviantart account, you can download some of the source pngs there too.
Creating digital artworks in Fireworks was a lot of fun , especially creating planets, galaxies and stars. I got a few space works I would like to share with you , since I dont have the source files ( old harddrive crashed years ago , but if I could recover them back I’ll post them here ) , you can download their full sized jpeg versions, just click on the images.
The Simple Orbs Tutorial is a very simple technique , yet it could add some dramatic touches to your design. It is just one layer object but you can replicate it over and over, and change the sizes.
