DUDE. Where'd you get that pic? I don't think I've seen that one...it's not new, is it? (he looks younger, is why I'm asking.)
These are all awesome. I wish I had your mad graphics skills. :D I always feel like I'm being a copycat when I see an awesome design, and try and mimic it, because I can never think of my own. lol.
I think I like #s 4 and 11 the best. I really like simple, awesomely cropped things. Minimalistic design.
The pic is from Drake Bell Central - it's pretty much where I get all my pics of him from. It's from 2006, under "Events".
And don't worry, these mad graphics skills are the result of numerous tutorials. Only a few of these are actually my skills, lol. But I'm glad you like them all the same - means I actually did a halfway decent job of following instructions!
I go for minimalistic, too. Mostly I like cropping and coloring, but sometimes I go for textures, brushes, and cool effects (#14 is actually my favorite of this batch).
I figured you got them from DBC - it's where I get all of mine too, I just hadn't seen that one. :)
I mostly just play around in photoshop...sometimes I'll look at an icon and try and figure out how to do it, or if I can't, I'll look up a tutorial. I know enough about photoshop I can figure most things out - it's coming up with the ideas that's the problem. lol. I also can never seem to use textures/brushes in a cool way. I see some graphics that I'm just blown away by, because when I try to apply the same kind of effect, it usually looks really dumb. :P
For the most part, I also just play around. But occasionally (usually when I'm doing these variations), I like to try out a new tutorial. I stay away from coloring tuts mostly, because I enjoy finding my own coloring style, but I love checking out cool new effects. #1 was a bit hard for me to follow but I really like that effect. I didn't exactly do it right, though.
