hello everybody.
i think design is nice
i think it is a fun a cool thing to do. when i growed up i want to be a designer in the worst way. the trends are cool. how do people get those realistic spray paint deals? i know its not a photoshop spray brush. do you scan it on a computor scanner? when you do, do you key out a color? how do you get just the spray? chuck nopattern has some on his site. ...how do you do that chuck nopattern? ok, well i am reading lots of books!! maybe someday i can be good tooooooooooo!!wrd

i used to scan my misc. painted materials - now I more than often i take a digi photo / import / sometime run through streamline.
practice, find ways that make sense & work well with your resources. however when you grow up these trends may be oldschool. ;(

Well, I can't say I've got quite the experience fatoe has in this, but let's say you've shot some black paint on to white paper and scanned it in... you can make it usable in photoshop by applying the Multiply compositing mode to it over some other image so that only your black marks will be visible. You'll most likely want to use 'levels' to sharpen it up and get rid of any low-level grays. that's a pretty easy way to get it started.
play with it, but don't get stuck with it. You like nopattern and fatoe because of contrast, smart composition, and interesting content. That, and they rock their illustrations. So pay attention to that shiz, too. :)
