Laughing Lion Design is the home of Jennifer Farley’s design and illustration portfolio. She also been instructing in Photoshop and Illustrator for over eight years. As well as talking the talk, she walks the walk by using Photoshop and Illustrator on a daily basis for her design work. For anyone interested, there are over 100 free tutorials on the Laughing Lion Design blog—everything from how to create a simple logo design to how to convert a photograph to black and white using calculations. More recently, she has moved into freelance illustration and has written and illustrated her first children’s picture book.
I really love the photo illustrations with a mixture of pixels and vectors. I sure hope more of these ingenious works are forthcoming!
