FAO: Graphic Designers etc, by fuzzed on Jan 4, 2009 21:09:24 GMT 1, Bit off topic but I was wondering if anyone could help. There's plenty of imgaes available from stock sites such as this -
What would be the best way to create an image such as this from scratch? Are there plugins for PS etc?
Any help appreciated.

Just draw the design outlines on paper then scan them and use the trace option in illustrator and play around and layer it up and you could do a design like that one above in around half an hour.
I never use a tablet as I been using a mouse to draw since I was 7 and found unless you spent loads of money on a good tablet they didnt really work properly. Maybe changed though, can any one reccomend a good tablet for under ยฃ100?

As others have said, if you're drawing then definitely try using illustrator.
I use the same technique as replete by the sounds of things, too, either that or scan hand drawn work and then use the pen tool in illustrator to go over the lines.

Slightly more expensive than the run of the mill but very easy to use and allow you to apply pressure to get different strengths of line. As Replete says there are several trace programs, which make things a lot easier by scanning in a sketch. Another option is to download vector images from various cheap image sites such as Shutterstock and iStock and manipulate them in Illustrator.

if you have the money, you would want someone like this to do it for you who i use frequently
www.epicicons.com/detail.php?i=163&c=6

FAO: Graphic Designers etc, by 20/20 on Jan 5, 2009 1:04:58 GMT 1, If you wanted to draw it all properly, yeah, would take a while, but if you mean how can I make something like this using found elements (which I reckon the original artist did) then it's not so hard.
If you break that image down I'd say it was no more than 3 or 4 'swirley' brushes (see link futureworldleaders posted) each with 1 layer effect (gradient fill, keyline, etc) and there's 1 paint splatter, all set on a grungy background (ie from: www.grungetextures.com/gallery/). The background is just desaturated and set to 'lighten' (or something similar). They've then grouped, copied and rotated the brushes and put the copy in the opposite corner. Presto.
Often you'll spend most time playing with the placing/sizing of the elements and choosing colours that make a good composition. To emulate that example exactly (same palette, object arrangement, etc) might take a good hour or so (once you've found the right elements). To create something fresh and original might take a day or two depending on how far you wanted to push it.
But to draw it all by hand is quite a mission. Check out this poster by 14Bolt, he explains half way down the comments on his flickr how he created it using wacom/hand trace/photoshop, which is sort of what you'd need to do for your one if you literally started from scratch:

I have done stuff like this, freehand with the pen tool in illustrator. Does'nt take me too long either.

Yeah I wasn't really planning to start from scratch, really looking for a simple sort of way to create a similar style image. I think with some of the suggestions it will put it well on my way! Nice one
