Vision Board

So this time of the year is always one for new things, new items and new beginnings such as the infamous resolutions. I am not one for New Year's Resolutions. For me the idea is that we should be able to make changes or grow or do something different at any time of the year and not wait for that "special" New Year. If we want to start going to the gym in February we should be able to; Quit smoking in June? Why the hell not; Become Dr Frankenstein in September? Sure;

But one thing I do use is a vision board. They are great reminders of what we want or what direction we want to go into. They can help us stay positive or give us a target to aim for. Sometimes we forget what we are aiming for or why we started something. And a vision board can help aim or give some direction. And the one thing is we can change it when we want. Or update it when a goal or idea is finished. It is our own canvas for the Impossible.

This is one of my own vision boards and I still want to create others that go in-depth in specific items or speak of one item.

So go mad and put your dreams, aspirations, ideas and creativity.

Photoshop Part 1

Last year I started teaching myself Photoshop CS 5 - needless to say in the beginning it was slow and painful, both to me and to those watching me fumble with the program.

All I changed was the orange shirt to purple

But I kept at it as best I could and slowly gained a better understanding of said program. And was able to finally do more than purplify t-shirts.

Rather blocky in its inception

So I Googled more learning projects from sites such as:

http://psd.tutsplus.com/ 

 Kind of better :-) no longer as blocky

These were ideas I played around for friends' businesses. But I kept on playing around and working with Photoshop. And now I am able to create slightly better things.

Yep, I am a fan of the Mass Effect series

If you are wondering what this post is about or if I am showing off my Photoshop skills (such as they are) then ... Yes I am :-D

But I am also trying to say that you need to keep up creating, start with a purple shirt and end up with an N7 rating (you will not have to kill aliens for it, so don't worry... well maybe not)

But this creativity feeds itself which leads into other creative endeavours. Such as this little idea that I want to put onto a t-shirt:

So keep on creating.
