packaging mock up

Mockups are used in the consumer goods industry as part of the product development process, when the size, concept and/or artwork have to be approved.

The image above is the spread presentation of Homi Noodle packaging artwork.This artwork is a bit difficult compare to my previous mock-ups as it requires drawing skills to shape up the desired form but if you are persevering enough I believe you can make it. Listed below are the tools & effects I’ve used in this mock up using Photoshop.

1. Filter > Texture > Texturizer
2. Make shapes using Pen Tool for the Gloss Effect. Add Feather and lessen the Opacity
3. Filter > Liquify
4. Blending Options > Bevel & Emboss > Gloss Contour
Does it look real? Like you I am also amaze on what Photoshop can do and how it brings out and maximizes artist’s creativity. So if you are an artist, start today! learn Photoshop it’s enjoyable than you could imagine. The key is to keep playing tools & customizing options, trust me this is how I started.

stacey in vector

I made this artwork for my dear friend Stacey. I chose this photo because it was my first time to see her wearing big eye glasses like a geek (which is unusual for a fashionable girl like her n_n). With Pen Tool & Fill customization in Illustrator I was able to make a detailed vector artwork. This is my token of appreciation to her for believing in my God's given gift. She is a wonderful person that this page is not enough to say how much I am grateful to have her as my friend ^-^

You may visit her @ www.staceyavenue.com, her blog posts are really interesting and absolutely worth reading ^-^

It gives me joy to create art that is enjoyed and esteemed by others. It is very overwhelming to hear how pleased they are every time they see my artworks. It inspires me and gives me power to create something better. My art is not just my passion but an extension of me - my special way of extending my love and gratefulness of having them in my life. With this, I can make them smile and let them know they have me to depend on.

Still, I want to give all the credits to the One who made me.

I chose beach background since it is summer and a romantic place for couple ^-^ which I got from fordesigner.com. I traced their face and used some meshing techniques in Illustrator to add details. This was printed in Vinyl Sticker and for better presentation I put it in a frame n_n

missing my JungHo :(

I woke up this morning crying again
Some things are not the same
Without Jung-ho beside me
I miss him so much!
I hate this feeling
The feeling of lost
I lost a friend
A comic
A defender
And a hero who risked his life
To slay a snake
While all were asleep calmly
I love every piece of him
His brown eyes told me
A lot of consoling words
His wagging tail showed
How much he misses me
His bark proved how much
He wanted to protect me
His soft furs comforted me
His floppy ears which he loved to be caressed
I can still see his face
Sitting on the couch
Playing with me
Laying his head on my lap
While in fact, I won’t see him anymore
All these are now memories
It crushed me inside when he passed away
I miss him!
It hurts me so much!
And this post can’t even explain how much
