The Bokeh effect

First post of 2010, so I decided to try creating Bokeh effects in Photoshop. Bokeh is the blur in photography, or the artistic quality of the blur, or the way a camera shows out of focus points of light. I came across a video tutorial, so once I learnt the basics, I played about with different techniques, putting my own variation on it.

I decided to brush up on my Illustrator skills, so I did a number of tutorials, mainly based on icon designs which I found on http://vector.tutsplus.com/. Having done theses, I’m going to start producing my own vector work both icons and illustrations.
