Once in awhile my heart will yearn to create a fantasy concept just for the heck of it. I want to share what I did with a photo taken of my 5-year-old. I asked her to pose for me so that I could create a fantasy layout of her and she jumped right to it. When she saw how I had used the layout for my desktop, she screamed in excitement.
Here is the photo:
1. Created a fantasy digital layout:
2. Turned it into a painted look.
3. Made it into my desktop:
4. Made it into my Facebook cover photo:
The kit used in the creation of these layouts is called, The Story Crate, a digital scrapboook kit collaboration by three designers (one of them, me).

You are so artistic. I have trained myself to work with photoshop, but find that I do not have the patience to sit and do the tedious work that it entails.

Thanks, MaiBao! There are certain things that I find are tedious too but most the time I am so focused on the end product/goal that it doesn’t bother me. A lot of times I am also learning new techniques. Once I learn one technique, I use it as a springboard for the next technique, and so on. It’s always been fun and exciting. I also understand that Photoshop (and the likes) is not for everyone.
