at his point s crucial since the client may ask for Some
tweaks like changing navigation, appearance or maincharactersize.
I m always saving project n several files. This allows
me to do backups and compare progress in case Igo
too far. Also naming layers and groups s crucial for me
-I hate mess n panels. Finally the client gets a .psd Withmy work so managing them helps a lot.

IF PHOTOSHOPDIDN'T eXist then I would be dea
on my feet. Photoshop to me s like a brick to a bUil
Iwo rk almost eXclusively With games companies
these days, Who on the whole require detailed,
intricate and exciting imagery to surrOund
and encompass their Sites, so Photoshop
allows me to amalgamate their assets intoWhat are eSSentially very detailed collages. I
am Usuallyprovided with miXed assets, ike
characters With transparent backgrounds,
environment renders, flat texture files and
in truth, little else. It is USually my ob to
take all those loosely connected assets and
create detailed interfaces, and complex
surrounds for the websites . lf you look at
the Natural Selection 2 example (www.
natura/selection2.cOm ) was given a
render of he corridor, one
of he Hive creatureand a
flat textureof he organic '
growth material. From hereI Spent many hours cutting bits
out, adding additional ighting
effects and creating a Whole scene
to thrust the USer deep nto a very
atmospheric webpage, making
them feel as though they were in
the game tself. The core interfaceelements Were Constructed from
pieces chopped out of he corridorrenderand far doorway.
So as you can see, without
Photoshop, Id be inished, as it is this
tool alone that allows me to create
these types of complex images andIwould never Consider using anything else. I think my
favourite finishing and effects tools With in Photoshop
would be adjustment ayers, ayer effects and blending
OPtions, as these can create some awesome ight effectsto really tie a piece together.
