fun ads and photoshop tutorials

working at merkley + partners is absolutely amazing. There's so much to do and it feels great to be producing tons of work :-) Today Pat and I spent a while researching various ads and executions styles for a project we're working on and I came across a bunch of cool work. I love the simplicity and style of these eini & co. cupcake ads:
















speaking of cupcakes, my ads for connie's bakery are going to run next month! very exciting :-)

In our research we found a bunch of cool tutorials as well and I spent tonight working on creating an apple in photoshop from scratch:













This particular tutorial came from psdtuts.com and I think it turned out pretty well...It definitely makes me want to try more tutorials and learn more of the complicated photoshop techniques.

Alright bedtime for me, more cool stuff i've been finding in the next post!
