This is my design for the First Cut Digital Film Festival. I sped on it only an hour but I think it turned really  good but i can not decided which one to use   

In this shoe catalog  I did small changes but I think it looks much better. On the front page i had dark red but i changed it to the yellow to match the shoes. inside I did the same with the colors and changed the size of the product description from 11 to 9 pt and centered the text.

Hi everyone !!  This is my husband and I  and our sweet kitty Dima !!! He is 7.5 years old and weights 18 pounds . He likes to play with my socks and he likes to slip in our arm when we watching TV. Also he likes attention so he is our little baby.

This is my little niece Anastasia!! I took this photo when she was 3 days old pictures were grate but I wanted to do something interesting so I played with photoshop and apply frames to the photo. So, how you can see it turned really great.   

Today I want to share with you how you can do beautiful flowers in illustrator by using filter menu.

1) Open new document in illustrator , select ellipse tool and draw a circle.2) Go to Filter>Distort>Pucker & Bloat  write a number 101 and click  OK

3) You should get flower with a four leafs copy this flower and combine two of them 4) do the same with the next flower what you should get5) Now you just couple steps to the end  by combining the flowers you should have a flower with a lot of leafs 6) Go to Filter>Distort>Pucker & Bloat this last action will shape you flower and now you are ready to experiment  with colors and sizes!

Hi everyone !!!

This is my day & night photo collage that I did last year in photoshop CS3 . I found great tutorial on the internet and tried to follow the steps .It seamed so easy but when I started to work I realized that it was hard. Finally  after couple of hours I made my beautiful day & night collage. And you know what?  I am really proud of my self !!
