Creating Magical Collage Ephemera Cards With Layout and HalfTone
My partner’s father and grandfather were magicians and a couple of years ago, we inherited their magic books. They are a treasure trove of vintage imagery and typography and I’ve been thinking of all the ways I might integrate them into artworks. One idea is a set of surreal postcards. In this tutorial, I’m going to take you through my process of creating a design for the first of the set, using LAYOUT and HALFTONE by app developers Juicy Bits. Before we begin, here’s a peek at the finished design. I used LAYOUT to create a composite, then exported the artwork into HALFTONE where I re-colored and…

Tutorial – Color Lake – Exploring New Techniques
Color Lake was not part of my workflow prior to Joanne’s request that I write a tutorial about it. I felt like it was a very specific one-trick pony; the novelty of which would wear off fairly quickly. Only after I started to play with it did I see its potential as an app that could add twists and textures to an image. Using Color Lake, this is how I created Tipsy. Step 1 I set the carnation on my kitchen counter just below the window to take advantage of natural light. I used 645 Pro on my iPhone 4S. My film choice was E6K in a 6×6 format.…

Pop Dot Comics Tutorial – Step By Step To Having Fun
It seems more and more that app developers are trying to out do each other with all the “bells and whistles” they’re putting into new apps…and I’m sure this will escalate with IOS 6 and the capabilities of iPhone 5. So I’m always happy when I run into an app that is designed for serious fun…and nothing more. Pop Dot Comics by JixiPix is just that type of app! I recently downloaded the app and thought it would be fun to try it out on this image! (I’m not going to show you the final until the end…but don’t worry, this isn’t a long tutorial!) If you would like to…

Streets Ahead: Interview with Natali Prosvetova
This week, the Women’s Mobile Street Photography Collective (Streets Ahead) is extremely pleased and honored to feature Natali Prosvetova in our interview section. Many of you will be familiar with Natali’s work in other genres of iPhoneography. Extremely prolific, Natali never ceases to surprise me with her work. Creatively, she seems to be able to successfully tap in to many aspects of mobile art, from very painterly, to surrealist to street photography. I first became aware of her work on the Hipstamatic Facebook page, and later in ‘Pixels, the art of the iPhone’. I was amazed at the work that she was producing with her first generation iPhone, the 2G, which just…
