A little bit of photo shop editing

A few Photos of the summer smartened up a little - will soon be making some how to posts about editing and texts

A couple of days at the beach

Here are some photos taken using my phone while working at the beach this summer, I work for The Kitesurf Centre - a great place for learning and teaching to kite surf. One day the Red bull Wings girls dropped by to give everyone a boost.

Water Splash

When I was back at uni in one of our old photoshop lessons they taught us how to give the effect that someone was standing in a shower from a standard photo.
I couldn't remember how this was done so I jumped online and read a few blogs and watched a couple of video's and tried to do a water splash. Here is my final image:

ICE Text

After having the idea for freeze frame I thought that I would like to make some ice text which could be useful in the design of the site or even posters and other such promotional material.
I have had a few variations on this, here are a couple, the FREEZE is done in a similar method to the FRAME however the FRAME has a couple of extra backing layers, outer glow and texturing over the top

Website design and building

Over the past few months I have been working on a few new companies and their websites:
My design site - www.offaxisideas.com - this shows all my latest products and future designs
Secret Santa Presents - www.secretsantapresents.com - this is an online shop selling fun novelty products
Secret Santa - www.secretsantapresents.info a blog and site about all the latest great products and Xmas gifts
Freeze Frame - www.freeze-frame.eu - a camera hire company based in the alps, hiring, filming and editing footage for holiday makers.

Check them out and see what you think.
Some of the sites have taken a lot of time, the others I quickly designed. The SEO and back linking seems to be one of the hardest parts.
If you have any thoughts on any of the sites I would love to hear them.
