This is a video survey of UMSL students talking about the differences between fine art and graphic design. The project resulted in the creation of study fine design, a movement that hopes to blur the line between fine art and graphic design, break boundaries, and start a new art revolution! Thanks to all of my friends for appearing in the video, especially my beautiful girlfriend Lauren leblanc. music by blur (please don’t sue me)

Does anyone know any websites with a collection of photoshop tutorials that are organized, for example by difficulty or by subject, not just a random collection? I want to build my photoshop skills but I need some sort of guidance system, you know?

I have seen it done in photoshop (the version that is close to $1000) where a double chin was removed. I am wondering if there is less expensive photo editing software that would do this without all the extra bells and whistles.

This is a simple but nice effect. You can add sepia tone or a simple hue to just about any image. It works best with black and white, in my humble opinion, but feel free to experiment!
