Global Aquarium

In this picture of Global High, I put different fish behind the windows but in front of a blue background to make it look like a aquarium. This creation took me some time but it turned out real good and I like it. It looks real too which is good.

My brushes

These are my brushes that I created from random pictures. This procedure is fairly easy and I love doing this. This so far is my favorite thing to do in photoshop. Making brushes can help you when you want a custom background and cannot find the right template. It's awesome to make brushes!

Imported brushes

These brushes are cool because they are good designs for backgrounds. I like the candy brushes because it makes me hungry. I also like the twirly brushes because they are good for fancy card backgrounds. The hair brushes give the backgrounds some unique quality and a sort of fire effect. I love deviantart.com!

Yoda and Quote

Here is Yoda from Star Wars. I made a dark edged background and white center. The edge dims as it goes toward the center. I put the star looking brush on the corners to make a sort of outline frame for the picture. And I inserted the most famous quote from Yoda.
