Photomosaic ArtistryWritten by Paul Hood
DTG defines photo mosaics as photographic images or pictures made up of many, usually hundreds, of smaller photographic images. Viewed very closely, small tile images can be recognized as individual photos, but at a distance, composite of these images make up an entirely different image.This exciting branch of art has been going on for quite some time now and has gained a wide interest from all over world. The meaning of these artworks has a profound effect on anyone who sees it. It can be a powerful medium of expression that conveys strong emotions. I myself was very moved upon seeing a photo mosaic of US president George Bush made up of all servicemen that have died in Iraq. Just imagine many soldiers making up that picture and you’ll see why it brought out a lot of emotions for all who’ve seen it. This type of art is a very effective tool to convey different types of meaning whatever artist likes. It allows you to make viewer make connections and this connections will serve as medium where you communicate to them whatever it is that you want them to know. Creating photo mosaics has been made easy by new software that has been developed for this particular art. You just need to look for one that suits you and then learn what best steps to make excellent pieces are.

You can use your Adobe Photoshop in creating 3D images. Since 2Ds are obsolete and 3Ds are in, you might want to start enhancing your skill in computer graphics.You can start making a cube. Your aim is to create an image of cube that is viewed in such a way that three sides, left, right and top, are shown. Then, learn how to put different effects on it, like shadow, to make it more realistic. Adobe Photoshop is an ideal program for making two dimensional (2D) images. But it does not limit you to this type of image. You can also create your three dimensional image, or so-called 3D image, by using 3D Transform. This will allow you to create simple 3 dimensional shapes or wrap an image in a 3D shape. To access 3D transform, go to Filter, select Render and choose 3-D Transform. The editing box will appear. This is where you can find primitive tools. These tools are used to edit three kinds of primitives, which includes sphere, cube and cylinder. Also, these tools will allow you to create basic images and editing tools, such as Select and Direct Select. The Select tool enables you to move objects, while Direct Select tool lets you to make adjustments by dragging anchor points.
