    PHOTOSHOP: The above work is for a new pharmaceutical product from Berlex. The drug
is intended for use by women, and Berlex wanted a feminine look to the piece. I
incorporated the look and feel of water in Photoshop by using the airbrush
on a solid background to create waves. In addition, I chose the cyan and seafoam
colors to give the piece a light and peacful look. The stock photo to the right
was carefully chosen, made a duotone and blended into the background with masks.
I spent much time on the text. Keeping in mind that the work would be displayed
on a large projection screen, I wanted the text to pop from the background. The
"Break Free" text was manually beveled using channels along with a plastic wrap
filter. I then created a white copy of "Break Free", distorted the perspective and
applied a Motion Blur downward. For the glints on the "Make a Difference" text,
I used an artistic brush in Photoshop. Finally, I applied a subtle lens flare to the
background to accentuate the light direction from the upper left-hand corner.
