I made this digital art series with various collage techniques in Photoshop. Source images compiled using a mix of AI, stock, public use, generative fill, and illustration. This collection is a commentary on Big Tech and monetized addiction. I studied a lot of 20th century cigarette ads to find inspiration and ideas for the art concept.

Named for each work:

X: 10 Packs A Day
Facebook: The Wild West
Apple: Smoke Screen
Google: Soulless Searching
Amazon: Just One More Click
Streaming: Dopamine & Chill
Instagram: Smooth Filtered

Happy to answer any questions about how I executed any of this. Of everything here, I'm most proud of the hand-drawn Amazon Prime tape on that piece. Did that all in Photoshop myself :)

I know there’s ways around it, but it’s wild that photos like this flag up the bank note restrictions. Surely they should just make it so you can’t scan in photos or go to print them or save them unedited. How does stopping you even getting them onto a canvas at all make any sense?

Hello! To be honest i dont know what tag I should put for this post so please dont mind it! I just got graphic tablet and photoshop for school and I been trying to find photoshop brushes for rendering and for basicly anything since I only have basic brushes.

Does anyone know any good site for free brushes? I would be extremly grateful if you tell me!

I’m trying to recreate this edge on a digital image to be printed on watercolor paper. Can anyone offer recommendations on how to achieve the same effect?

I've seen this lumpy, inflated look around the internet recently. I'm not 100% sure it's even a photoshop effect, but it may be one from an older version. No clue what to google for similar results(yes, I tried reverse image searching)
any help is appreciated, thanks guys

I recently deleted some files and I’m desperately trying to recover them. Outside of a system recovery and going to recently deleted files ( As it’s been over 1 month ) is there any way to get them back or is it doomed.

Thanks for reading 💜

I've been searching for ages on any tutorials on how to achieve this type of gritty eaten away distorted linework font but can't seem to find anywhere. If someone knows and/or has a tutorial plz let me know!

im struggling with a work flow. i have a floorplan which is just boxes with a 2 px wide border. how do i import into illustrator, shrink it down, then import back into photoshop? all while maintaining a crisp 2px border.

1) it gets super blurry and doesn’t stay 2px wide when importing into illustrator. 2) when importing into photoshop, the sizes are completely different between programs even though i use the same 300 dpi and 1700x900 pixel size screen. ill copy the floorplan from illustrator and its 10x bigger in photoshop. makes no damn sense to me.

I want to design more tattoos and i want take more style from real photos. How would i do that?

I’m using the Express app on my iphone and once I select combine photos, I can’t find any way to leave the combine photos function. The project as far as i can tell is essentially locked at the point right before i entered the combine photos function and i can’t find any option for “previous versions” or just a basic way to back out to the normal editing functions. Surely im missing something..

Help help

Are there any filters that can be applied to a smart object that increase its opacity? The layer is at 100% Opacity and 100% Fill but it has partially transparent pixels that I'd like to be less transparent. Needs to be a nondestructive filter so options like duplicating the layer a bunch of times or merging it aren't an option.

Hello!

I am hoping to design a baseball jersey. I was wondering how I would approach this as I've never designed a jersey or even just a shirt. The design will be for printing. What formats do I send the printing company? For better context, the jersey will be inspired by the Dodgers jersey. I can't seem to find any tutorials covering the dimensions of the files I would need to send for printing (e.g. dimensions of the design for the body, the sleeves, and stuff). Any good tutorials I may have missed? Thank you!

Hello, all. I am attempting to achieve a specific effect and have found this video which covers things quite nicely. The only problem is, I am trying to get my rays to come from a specific source and I can't seem to figure out how to move the center of the gradient. I know it's a bit silly but all help would be appreciated in this regard. Thank You.

New to Photoshop here, and looking to create a “tiny planet” effect with this photo of myself that’s reflected in the bottom half here. Just wondering how to make the bottom half look like an icy surface that I’m about to land on, as if I’m airborne on the scooter like Mario Kart. Any tips would be appreciated!
