“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
This week’s Creative Mondays perfectly sums up “experimentation”. I recently stumbled across a fun new online project being run by Adobe that allows creative artists to upload their own portrait in a style of their choosing. It’s part of a campaign to promote the latest Adobe Creative Cloud suite.
I figured I’d give it a try so using both Photoshop and Illustrator I came up with an artistic portrait of myself and then applied it to a slightly modified photograph. You can see “artistic portrait” below. The idea is to upload the final image to my Behance portfolio and tag the piece “new creatives” so that hopefully it can sit on the website along all the others!
