An old school way of creating this effect is to stretch a nylon stocking across the lens. In Photoshop, I would… 1. Duplicate the layer, and in Curves or Levels, ensure that it’s average value is mid grey. 2. Set its blende mode to Overlay

Steve Jobs greatest iPhone achievement was in getting Stan Sigman, CEO of Cingular Wireless, to upgrade his network to be equal to the iPhones demands. Prior that that, the tail (carriers) wagged the dog (phone manufacturers).

I believe that they also failed (or faded away) because modernism never really took off in British painting. They simply did not have the modernist spirit that painters of Paris and Italy had.

The position of creative oversight that you describe in your second paragraph is effectively that of and art director. Not, unfortunately, an artist.

No expert on photography history, but I know that it took quite a while for people to recognize the innate strengths of photography. Indeed, I have heard it said that the first true photographer did not arrive until around 50 years after th

Art / design teacher here. In our school we are very worried about this software. Absolutely it will steal jobs sooner or later. A similar thing happened when photography was invented... Painters had to re-design the job of an artist.

Wow. I have never before been jealous on account of a pencil sharpener.

Art teacher here. Pencil sharpening using a knife is a highly underestimated component of drawing. In my drawing class, pencil sharpeners are forbidden. TFA does not seem to address in any detail the knife itself. Most hobby-style knives ar

I believe most carpenters in the UK would still say '2 by 4' and '2 by 1'. Odd, as those values are pretty much meaningless, as they refer to the original size of the timber before it was planed down. In this sense, thos

If all the AI is seeing of the world is a digital image, then they are likely to mistake the digital image for the world. As far as I know, the article claims that the AI has discovered new physical variables, yet the researchers are unsure

Agreed, if only for the reason that the AI seems to be making observations of the physical world based on videos thereof.

In art and design, the requirement for lecturers to have PhD has become the norm. But this in no way guarantees quality. At my last uni, a prof had earned his doctorate with a PhD the title of which was something like: 'The Duality of

The current standard for making live visuals for events (i.e. 'vee jay') is Resolume. The one thing that Resolume lacks is effective support for importing 3D objects. Its nice to see blend modes in this app. That offers the possib

The final stage of the creative process is dissemination, and this is what failed Xerox Parc. This is also what failed Kodak, when they failed to capitalise on the digital camera, which they had invented. The core issue is twofold: 1. Entre

The article seems to be claiming that artists are different for the attention they give to detail. True enough I guess. The way humans look at the world is perceptual, whilst artists (a sub-class of human) tend to employ a more optical appr
