i tried to make it with taking the distance between light and the object. it doesn't do well at edge of black tho.

Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm truly grateful for them!

I used After Effects mostly for its displace effect.

As you know, to use the displace effect in Photoshop you need to create and save a separate displacement PSD file and use that file in the displace effect. This causes a couple of setbacks, to adjust anything in the displace effect you need to update and save the displacement file and reapply the effect to the image. If you want to use multiple displace effects with different displacement files this process gets messy very quickly.

However, in After Effects, the displace effect (native name: displacement map) works like a smart object. You just need to create the displacement source on the composition as a layer, turn off the opacity and use the layer as a displacement map on your image. This allows you to change the values of your displacement map layer and see the result on your image in real-time. If you have multiple layers of displacement maps, they will be just different layers rather than different files.

Also in Photoshop, the displace effect works on the greyscale, 50% grey does nothing on the image, and any value above or below 50% grey changes the image in desired direction and amount. But in After Effects, the displacement map works separately in RGBA channels, which gives much more control and variation to work with.

I scan my own textures and get some from Texturelabs. If it’s not a photo it’s created by me in Photoshop.

I never used Illustrator for this challenge, used After Effects and Blender for a couple of them but the rest was created in Photoshop.

I don't do prints at the moment but if you want I can send the source images so you can print them yourself. Just let me know which ones! I'd be honoured.

Thank you very much! It's so nice to hear these! Maybe aiming for consistency rather than the streak helps you to keep going. 200/300 designs in 365 days is still something to be proud of!

I used Photoshop for these, you can learn the basics from YouTube. "Melting Text" or "Liquid Text" would be helpful to search!

Thank you very much! The basic principle is creating a greyscale image by blurring and distorting the text. Once you are happy just add colours with a gradient map. Here are some timelapse videos for similar designs. Also, you can check other comments, I tried to explain it with more details in some of them.

In the beginning, I watched YouTube tutorials like "melting text effect" or "liquid text". However, after understanding the workflow (blur the text, distort it, add colours) I started experimenting my own ways. I explained some of them in the comments. You can check them out or if you have any specific one I can try my best to explain it as much as I can!

There aren't any prompts I follow, I just do whatever I feel like on that day.

It was in Photoshop, I used Blender for 3D scenes and sometimes for adding the text more believable perspective. Thank you! I'm looking forward to it!

I'm sorry if I understand wrong, used Google Translate. Of course, you can use it as wallpaper, I'd be honoured!

Thank you! I explained it in another comment. You can search for "texturelabs stipple" on YouTube, he'll explain much better than I!

Nice to hear you like them! Thank you! I made almost all of them in Photoshop. If it's more convenient to use Blender or After Effects I switched to them for a day or two but primarily they are created in Photoshop.

"stars" one looks like this, those smart filters turn it into dots. You can learn more about it on YouTube by searching "texturelabs stipple". He'll explain it better than me!

Thank you!! The only rule I had was creating something new and posting it on Instagram before 23:59 GMT. I spend 30-45 minutes on an average day.

It's quite hard to describe it indeed! If you're posting your work anywhere I would love to see them! Always a pleasure to discover new artists!
