Epoch competition

setembro 09, 2008 from Starchild's blog

Epoch has been up and running for the past few weeks now, and while there was a lot of activity in that time, it has started to wane of late. With this in mind, I have decided to start a competition, to hopefully drum up some publicity.

The name/theme of the competition is "Introducing...", and will act as a pre-artpack. It'll be open from now till the 9th of October, so you'll have a month. To enter, all you have to do is join the forums, at http://www.epochdesigns.co.uk/forums, and submit your design in the Competitions forum.

The best 10 designs will be added to the pre-artpack, and the designers will be awarded places in the art group itself. This will be a great opportunity, not only to show off your talent for art, but to improve your skills and become part of something special.

Rules

If you are already a Epoch member, you will notice a "Competitions" thread in the forums. Inside that thread, will be a "Competition Submissions" thread. In there, you will submit your entry designs.

Any work submitted by Epoch Designers will be automatically selected to go into pre-artpack. ONLY 1 submission per person is allowed. In order to make this a fair competition, there will be a minimum of 20 entrants for the competition to go forward. The Creative Directors' decision is final.

Good Luck,

Luke Davis, aka Starchild, Head of Epoch.

Sobre o autor

My name is Starchild, aka Luke Davis, and I'm a student from England. I passed A-Levels in Graphic Design, Mathematics and Further Mathematics and will be studying Computer Science at Nottingham Trent University in October.

I was never an artistic prodigy at an early age, but I still doodled and drew things like any normal child. As I got into high school, however, I began to enjoy art more and more, and managed to get an A at GCSE, probably my greatest achievement to date. It was very hard work, but it was worth it. Initially, I wanted to do Graphic Design at university, but I didn't want to leave my other talent behind, maths, so I decided to make a compromise: do computer science at uni and still continue my graphic design work, but on a casual, freelance basis. With any luck, I'll get spotted.

Dicas Rápidas Photoshop: Light Effect Text Button
Algumas semanas atrás escrevi um tutorial mostrando como criar um botão metálico estiloso usando o Photoshop. No tutorial eu mostrei um efeito de luz no texto que foi muito bem recebido e muita gente pediu mais detalhes sobre ele, sobre como criar o efeito. Então hoje, vou dar algumas dicas rápidas sobre layer styles e vamos usar a base de um tutorial antigo. Vou mostrar como criar um efeito de luz super simples usando apenas layer styles, blend modes e blur filter.

O wallpaper dessa semana é um efeito de luz que criei algumas semanas atrás inspirado em um anúncio da XPeria que vi enquanto esperava por um vôo no aeroporto.
