Fotolia TEN Collection – Educating Designers with a Giveaway
We receive many emails about the launch of new products, promotions, and websites from great industry companies—but the one from Fotolia grabbed our attention, as it was more than just a promotion opportunity; it had a unique educational opportunity tied to it and made it hard to say no.
Tuesday January 10th Fotolia is launching their TEN Collection. TEN COLLECTION is a unique and original project that promotes digital art to the design community with an emphasis on education. Designers will be able to download a free PSD layers file, allowing them a rare and deep look into the techniques of a top digital artist. To create TEN COLLECTION, Fotolia gathered digital art, graphical resources and educational materials from around the design community. The initiative was made possible with the partnership of two major design communities: Wisibility and Amkashop. Each month for 10 months, one digital artist will show their composition, created from images available on Fotolia, in a layered PSD file. The 10 artists in this project have worked at top agencies, major worldwide brands, cultural events, and even in the film and arts arena (www.fotolia.com/ten).
Tune in on the 10th of every month to discover the process behind each new digital transformation! Here are some of the things you can look forward to:
- In-depth knowledge and information sharing
- Insight to all the materials, elements, and special tools each digital artists uses
- A full breakdown of how each graphic component plays a part in creating the final image
- A comprehensive understanding of how the digital artists uses special techniques and tools
- A “get-to-know” interview with each featured artist
- A FREE download of the PSD for 24 hours on the 10th of each month
