Nostalgic

June 30th, 2009 by xsabrina.chic

How’s your school days guys and gals? Welcome back to my blogsite!

After designing my sister’s wordpress theme, I tried to sit back and relax at my bedroom and thinking of my future career. Ah.. I don’t want to think about it for the mean time. While sittin’ on my bed, my idea clicked me to photography. Later on I will show you how to make an old-fashioned effect of photography.

Cozenshock: Nostalgic Photography Effect
Retro Photography

Nostalgic means “old-fashioned” style. I took this photo in a very simple shot and edited it in Photoshop to make it Retro/Nostalgic photography. Hmm.. Maybe not the perfect one, but still look like oldish :?: He is Lans from CozenShock.com; he blogs about the entertainment and new knowledge using its resources such as photographs, reviews and other trivia. Nice representation on this shot, imagine he holds camera.

Graphic Designing

Do you know that I am not really interested in web and graphic designing before? It’s just so happen that we have a personal website project at school then I improved my skills on what I’ve learned. With the help of my sister, I began to do like these artworks, thanks to her!

Xsabrina.chic’s own tips:

1. Design. Always think first what to design. Is it a drawing? Or a photo manipulation? Or just want to make unknown creatures (like the picture used on this post)? Hm.. a retro style? Emo? Girly? Vector? 3D style? It’s up to you, think creatively.

2. Color combinations. After the decision, next to color combinations. You should think of at least 3 color combinations for your design. Colors is the most important in creating a design either graphic or website or fashion.

Drawing Technique

October 22nd, 2008 by xsabrina.chic

Oct. 05 since I am at rest for an hour, I decided to draw a mascot for our website. VixenArt Team is composed of three individuals living under the same roof who’s names are Ada (Founder of VA), Sheena (Web and Graphic Designer of VA) and Lloyd (Web Programmer and Systems Administrator of VA). I am the one who declared VixenArt as our newest domain name before techno-sisters.net will expire. And I am here to present to you our newest mascot! Her name is Xen-Sheen which Xen is came from Vixen and Sheen is came from the Designer’s nick name Sheena.

So if you saw this head of Vixen around, expect that we are near from you!

I’d never used it for almost 4 years I guess? This is my first time to draw once again and sketched it through the use of Photoshop. How to do like this?
