Hey, I've been thinking of asking this a week ago. But, since I didn't have time, here it is. You see, I've seen a lot of sites with awesome designs. But, I really like sites with a "particular" kind of design. It cannot be told by words but I'll try.

Have you seen those designs with a lot of tentacles which look like plant stem ? They look more like vines. I can give you an example :
-

That was from Quatuour.be. See the header. What do you call it ? I've tried a lot to make some like this but failed miserably. And, you might have seem things like this :-


And this is from Attitudedesign.co.uk. I'd be very grateful if someone can tell me how to design these or just give me link to the tutorial.

there's various styles, you can use the pen tool and just make bunch of points to form the vines, or you could either choose a bigger hard brush, then go to brush settings, set to fade, set an amount you prefer, how sharp you want the end, and make a line and arch it like one of those vine then right click brush stroke, and you should get something like that. ill post up a tutorial sometime

Post modernism. Really it's something you kinda have or don't. Some people know how to think in a lot of layers like that. If you wanna train yourself, take one of those screen captures into illustrator and trace over top of it. It'll teach you how to make the complex shapes. Best thing i can say is keep looking at the stuff you like and eventually you'll be able to emulate it w/out thinking about it.

Oh. 3rdshiftstudios, if I google for "Post modernism art tutorials", will I get some ? Forgive me if its something really stupid. I'm not that much familiar with these things.

And, NeoWeapon, thank you for deciding to post a tutorial. Can you tell me your tutorial site ? I'll go there often to see when u update. It's really nice of you.

Does anybody else have any other idea ?

idk if i can make a tutorial anytime soon, but you can always message me on like MSN or AIM, and i can help you out
