    Some of these are really nice (and I’ve seen a few), one thing though, I’m not sure itw as a good idea to save them all as .gifs :|

  2. Alec Rios -

    Hadn’t thought of that. I had gif the default on photoshop during the whole process.

    Well, gif’s load quicker and I don’t think I sacrificed much quality with most of these. Thanks for your comment though, Eli.

    Everyone, all the images link to the homepage of their respective artists, where you should be able to find the image in its original format.

    Are you sure about your assertionthat GIF files load faster?

    Have you compare file sizes of moderatedly compressed JPG against their equivalent GIFs?

    Of course broadband speeds make the argument irrel;evant to most users.

  4. Alec Rios -

    vernon, it’s what I’ve read but I’ve never bothered to do any testing.

  5. Lily -

    These are all quite beautiful, but I think they’re illustrations rather than graphic design.

    Have to agree with Lily that these are digital illustrations, not graphic design, which is more along the lines of layout–combining text and images–though it can include creating stylistic pieces. An article from Ideas on Ideas puts it quite nicely (erm, except for the title…)

    But these are quite beautiful and inspiring nonetheless! Thanks for sharing, Alec :) Stumbled!!

    Thanks, LaurenMarie.

    the 2nd pic (guy that looks like being incinerated by water) really rocks! great effect! where can i learn this?

  11. Alec Rios -

    Can’t help you there, Nakz. My guess would be to search some Photoshop tutorial sites.

  12. Sabz -

    hey dese are awesome….i wanna design a poster for our college’s cultural fest…wer can i find a suitable background??

  13. Alec Rios -

    Sabz, I would just run a search for some backgrounds using keywords that relate to the feel you want the poster to convey. Sorry, I can’t point out specific websites.

    Be careful with copyright issues, though. Check out the license the background has before you design the poster.

    Hope that helps.
