 Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 3:14 am Post subject: Project for class |
 |
|
I did this project instead of a paper for my women studies class. It is a world map of the different goddesses worshiped throughout time in different areas. This is my first photoshop major project but I have been using Gimp for a few years now. Any opinions would help me because I have a hard time being objective with my own work. Thanks!

Perhaps a little less bevel and emboss and maybe a different colour scheme, but that's just personal preference.

If you still have the PSD file then i'd say try adding a texture to the states would make it seem more real. Also like thehermit, Less B&E and a different colour scheme. But as for it now i like it.

I like the texture idea a lot! Maybe contouring the pattern on the land to fit a more geographical map. That sounds pretty cool but out of my realm of know how with photoshop, maybe if I experiment a little... I used the bevel to make each geographical area stand out on it's own, before that it was a REAL mess! Lol, my boyfriend doesn't like the color scheme either, I do still have the PSD and I was thinking about playing around with the background. I always have trouble with not making the same boring background over and over. Thanks for all the input guys!

I really like the concept and the execution but have to agree about the color. I think there is too much magenta in it but colors are a really tricky thing because everyones tastes are different. Before you go doing too much re-working have a play with the color adjustments. Select the image tab on the menu bar and go to adjustments>selective color and reduce the amount of magenta and maybe the blue as well. Have a play around to get a color scheme that works for you. The great thing about photoshop is the ability to change the color of any element within your design fairly easily.

Also the use of photo filters,located in the same menu, can dramatically change the look of an image.

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing. I think maybe the colors need to be toned down a little bit but I still want to keep it sort of mystical, you know? Not too toned down but maybe less right IN YOUR FACE I guess is what I'm trying to get at.
