Photoshop contest - visual music

HOME » photoshop contests » visual music

Contest Goal:

Create an image using your photoshop tools, or even other sources, wich represents your favourite kind of music: the goal in this contest is to make other users understand the kind of music you choose, without beeing 'insipid' and 'obvious'. I give u some clarifications: don't show a black rapper in your entry to represent the rap music...that's nothing new; so use COLORS, SHAPES, PICTOGRAPHS... free your mind to NEW CHARACTERS dancing in unusual style (for example a President dancing tribal...), or represent classical music using morbid shapes and communicating armony or techno music with extreme lights and stiff lines... those are just banal samples don't follow them, be yourself!

PLEASE VIEW HIGH RES!

Probably the most time I've ever spent on a single project, I decided to attempt a photorealistc version of my Les Paul, which is my life outside of photoshop and work. I changed the brand name to avoid any legal issues. Please leave criticism. If there's any interest I'll do a tutorial.

Total time: 14 hours
No external sources. References provided by my actual guitar.
