photoshop, đối với nhiều người, đại diện cho sự hoàn hảo. Nhưng trong khi chúng ta phấn đấu để đạt được sự hoàn hảo, chúng ta không bỏ qua vẻ đẹp của sự bất toàn. Nếu bạn là một người sống ở đô thị, chú ý đến những gì xung quanh bạn khi bạn đi lang thang trên đường phố | Chapter 10 Photocopier Meets Photoshop Photoshop to many represents perfection. But while we strive to achieve perfection let us not overlook the beauty of imperfection. If you re an urban dweller pay attention to what is surrounding you as you wander the streets. You ll notice photocopied flyers and posters plastered all over the place. You d be hard pressed to find a better example of imperfect yet beautiful artwork. This is the art of the underground scene. Local bands and underground artists do what they can with what they have. There is an evident do-it-yourself esthetic inherent in the majority of urban poster art. This low fidelity appearance is more a result of available tools and monetary resources rather than a conscious attempt at style. Regardless of intent a certain style prevails. Poor registration inferior image quality and cut-and-paste typography all contribute to the urban underground look. However the most prominent element is the look achieved by using a poor quality photocopier to put it all together. Generally these collages are photocopied on machines in desperate need of servicing or even dangerously low on toner. Not the sort of thing found at a professional copy shop but rather like something you ll find in a local convenience store. Remember just because Photoshop has an arsenal of tools that lend themselves to achieving perfection it doesn t mean that you cannot turn the tables and create convincing imperfection. The limit to what you can achieve with Photoshop s tools and functions is dictated by your own willingness to explore less-than-obvious methods. To create tactile and distressed underground poster art effects all you need is access to a good old-fashioned photocopier an enthusiasm for Photoshop and a willingness to experiment.
