I used Photoshop to create layers in this photo, and to “cut away” the edges of the sign using the clone stamp tool. Then, I imported the entire file (with layers) into After Effects to give it the 3D effect, using the Camera layer and keyframes. Major kudos to my Adobe After Effects instructor, Faraz!! Read more

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9bBzgE0Eng?rel=0] I took a 3-day Adobe After Effects class last week, and it was absolutely amazing!!

So I decided to write this… Read more

This is my first attempt at creating a folded edge in Photoshop! I, in no way, claim to be a Photoshop expert, so I’m pretty proud of myself for this one. Read more

 This is just one of the many images appearing on Facebook today. I mean, I like it. It’s cute and all, but… I’m so over it. I really hate this time of year. The time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is just kind of depressing for me. It has been for as long as… Read more
