The Floating Head Guy
A while back I mentioned a blog I found about movie poster design called PosterWire.com. Now this site isn’t updated often but when they do, it usually is something really interesting. Just recently they posted a video interview with poster designer Gavin Berliner. Whose is famous for the floating head design so commonly seen in movie posters. It’s a funny but interesting conversation where he talks a little bit about the thought process that goes into a poster design and how the actor and his or her level of fame influences the overall design. Here’s the link.
Also our very own Bert Monroy has a cool video tour of his Berkeley Hills Studio. I know that he recently did a complete remodel of his studio and it’s cool to see it finished. It’s neat to see an artist’s domain.

The Clone Source Panel
This panel has a couple of neat features for people who spend a lot of time in cloning. You can now set up a series of preset areas in the Clone Stamp tool. Simply click on one of the icons at the top of the Clone Source panel and Option-click (PC: Alt-click) on a point. That will save that location to the first icon. Click on the second icon and do the same thing. Now you can save a series of location points and go back by just clicking on the icon.

Thanks for the links. It’s great to go behind the scenes with pros and get a feel for how they operate.
Bert Monroy has got some sweet studio! I want it.
Gavin has created a lovely niche in the art world. By now he should realize what I’ve known for some time - five heads are best.
