UK designer Pete Harrison's Magic






In time when Photoshop becomes more of the look than the artist, comes along someone like Pete Harrison. As a tool, Photoshop can be as useful as an Xacto knive or Rapidograph was to an earlier generation of creatives. But merely learning the filters and applying bevel and emboss to a font or image, rarely results in brilliant design. Usually, it's just a mess. Still, Photoshop and Illustrator along with many computer programs have become the primary cause for the recent demise of design and creative talent.

But in the right hands, this powerful tool can help artists create extraordinary designs that move, motivate and sell. Check out the work of the UK's Pete Harrison, known as Aeiko, and aeiko.net.

These imagess ure make me want to buy some of that bullshit you're selling, or is it sneakers or flat screen tv's?

What's the difference between a child's painting and a painting that looks like it was done by a child?

Poor graphic designers. They don't seem so valuable when anyone with a computer program can do what they do.
