I experimented creating HDR images using a cool software called Photomatix and custom brushes which allowed me to create some cool vector effects. Here is how it came out.

Launched rcleaners.com

Just launched rcleaners.com for my dad’s business. He’s been asking me to building a website for a while but I was pushing it back until recently.

I decided to go really simple by cramming everything in one page since I don’t have much content to show. The three tabs and the form uses the jQuery which I’m starting to like very much for its simplicity and a good support.

It took me about a week to finish this and I think it came out ok.

Sumo Ad Experiment

Inspired by the Nike website, I created an ad that mimics stark, rough, and smokey look. Instead of choosing major sports like baseball or football I chose Sumo wrestling as a subject. The shoes I used on the composition happened to be the Adidas shoes so it became an Adidas ad.

I found bunch of tutorials on trendy photo effects. At first it seemed like it will take a Photoshop master to achieve such an effect but it all goes down to knowing just few tricks.

Starting blog thing

Tony Yoo — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:46:33 +0000

I decided to start my own blog. I will put daily inspirations and findings as well as my experiments to share with the world. Since I’m not a good writer and I will have to force myself to write any articles in the future I’m little bit worried to where and how this will go… Let’s see what happens.
