Hello and welcome, this is a quick tutorial on how I created my poster concept for the World Collabs 4 competition. The tricky thing about planning a tutorial like this is, I created the elements with the 3D shapes from Joao Oliveira.
As a quick intro to this read, A World Collabs poster begins with one designer supplying some elements and the second designer adding to those elements to create a completed poster. My goal was to use the elements supplied by the collaborator as much as possible in creating my piece. For these steps, all I did was take the shapes, expand and rotate them to start forming my robot and it’s environment. Later I pasted a robotic eye that I created for a previous project. A link to a separate tutorial detailing how I made the robotic eye can be found at the bottom of this page.
Robot Face
I started by trying to frame the environment for the face to hover in. I flipped the shapes around to create what I called a rubber-room effect on the sides. Then I just started layering shapes one at a time until the robot started to take shape.
Effects
Once the robot was complete, I added a glow effect on the upper left of the skull-plate. I selected a wide circle brush and set the hardness to 0 and 70% flow and threw a quick dot and set it’s layer style to Linear-dodge.
Final Result
I figured the blue/black colour palette would be pretty popular among other entries so I wanted to change it to something else. I opened channel mixer and tweaked it until the dark blues turned to the gold/plum colour that I have now. Then I just layered a quick title and a signature and I’m done.
I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more…
This week we present you the beautiful H-House.
The H-House is a project by Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff Architects, a firm founded by Hakan Widjedal, Natasha Racki and Philip Bergerhoff in 2004. The H-House is a project completed in 2006, it is a private residence in the archipelago of Stockholm situated on a beautiful site overlooking the ocean. As in many of their projects, WRB Architects a great emphasis was put on exploring the border between inside and outside, building and nature. The main materials used are: concrete, rusty steel, untreated pine wood, oiled wenge and water. The H-shape of the project helps creating intimate and wind protected courtyards that prolong the summer season and offer great natural lightning to the house.
This is a really elegant house. The mix of elements and the dark materials contrasting with neutral decoration elements create a really beautiful and cozy atmosphere. The house looks elegant without being intimidating, it actually invites you in… the huge glass windows are also an element I really like, so this is surely another house I wouldn’t mind living in.
Check out Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff Architects website for further details about their projects. See you next time. 
We found this house at Comtemporist.
