Pink Panther Poster
By Dirk Metzmacher
Doesn’t matter if the headline says Furious Create a Pink Panther Posters – looks like a tiger to me. And the artist himself says “Indeed, you are looking at a tiger photo, not a panther. I know my English and Zoology well enough to tell the difference, but I found a tiger’s fur much more fit for this particular design.

Club Poster
By Dirk Metzmacher
The article Create a Stylish Club Poster shows how a wall is decorated with a logo and additional graphics. This simulation of “graffiti” is nothing new, but the result has a great effect. The underlying base material is very important in this case. It decides on the quality of a composition.
