The readers (or regular visitors) of Marcofolio.net, must already know that I'm a true programmer. Although this is a fact, I do love to kick up Photoshop some times and create something outstanding. For that reason, I'm also subscribed to the Dutch version of Advanced Photoshop - a great Photoshop magazine. The magazine shares some great Photoshop techniques, as wel as good written tutorials and inspirational articles.

Last year, I placed an article online called "Advanced Photoshop Covers (NL #01 - #10)". As you could have expect, this is part 2 of the Dutch Advanced Photoshop Covers that are so inspirational, that you'll surely get your design fluids flowing.

The pictures are taken by me and I apologize for any "reflections" on the magazine. If you like one, I recommend you to check out the portfolio website from the artist. Be ready to get inspired!

It has been a while since I placed my previous high resolution texture pack online. Today, I'm presenting you another texture pack called Water Splashes. This pack contains 8 textures (1500 px of width) of some great water splashes behind a speedboat. I made these pictures while traveling to Camiguin (Philippines).

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use.

Don't forget to check out some other great high quality textures that are released on this website before.

Do you think it's time for another great freebie? Yeah, I do to. This time, I present another high resolution texture pack called Jungle Flora. This pack contains 12 textures (1000 px of width) of some beautiful flowers in the jungle. I made these pictures in a local zoo in our neighborhood.

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use.

Today, it's my 20th Birthday. Instead of receiving presents, I'm handing out some high quality freebies for my loyal readers.

Currently, it's freezing in the Netherlands: 20 degrees celsius minus 0. Everything is covered in a small layer of snow, lakes are totally frozen and people are ice skating.

While I was taking a walk through the nature last week, I saw that everything was totally frozen. All the textures of the leaves were clearly visible: Better than normal. It's pretty obvious that I'm presenting another high resolution texture pack called Frozen Nature. This pack contains 6 textures (1000 px of width) with some nature stuff were you can see their texture really well!

I hope you enjoy them and use them well. The textures are totally free for all kinds of use.

Collages, mash-ups, photomanipulations, compilations; They all are basically the same thing: Choosing a subject you want your design te be about, mix them up with some good elements and colours and produce stunning artwork.

But how do you define "good elements"? This depends on the kind of design you're making. There are some kind of elements that keep on repeating on several kinds of modern design.

Of course, you must remember that this is a round-up of the most used elements at this moment. This doesn't mean that you should stick with them: Be on top of the game, but be innovative and try something new! But for now: Here's a great collection of most used elements in collage artwork. Get inspired and be amazed!
