I need to create something beautiful
As a web dev, I see so many design masterpieces every day. I can scroll high detailed pictures or examples of web artwork for hours. I even have a small collection of paid and free assets: textures, Photoshop brushes, patterns, photos, editable Photoshop, and vector files of all kinds. This is my passion.
Enough! I want to create an awesome picture and I don't care that I'm not a designer. And I have an amazing free scene creator. This is my favourite design asset by the way. So this is my little masterpiece.
A scene creator is a Photoshop file with a prepared scene. Usually, this scene can be customized and this format gives a ton of possibilities to anyone including non-designers. I saw all kings of these scenes: food-related, desktop-related, stylized elements, realistic items, front view, top view, perspective view. And most of them look amazing: it looks like this kind of work is for skilled designers.
And you'll be surprised how many free awesome scene generators you can find. For this post, I took a free one from pixpine.com: Free Poster Frame Mockup. The green wall is something that I want for myself, so this was easy. For the photo in the frame, I took the one from Unsplash by Diego Jimenez. Changed the frame color. Had fun inventing the titles. What a day!
Can I say that I created something unique? This is a debatable statement. On the other hand, now I have one good looking image and one useful note. Not bad.
