How can I help you today?
Using the latest digital tools, I can create image manipulations, photomontages, collages, edit and restore images and create bespoke art for a project… and, yes, if you really, really prefer it, I can also create AI generated images.

The camera never lies…
Of itself, perhaps this statement remains true. However, equip someone with the latest digital technology – especially AI, and things can change – literally! Whether for a book cover, a brochure, a website or any print or digital asset, I can create bespoke ‘hand-made’ (as opposed to ‘prompt engineered’) digital artwork and make bespoke changes to images on request (using ‘traditional’ digital methods, or AI if appropriate and when it will speed up the process.
I can also source royalty free images for a project, subject to the budget made available. When it comes to photography, it is always better to get the image you want straight from the lens. Manipulating real-world photographs will only ever be second best to a perfect original shot. There is a lot you can do in post-production, but there is also a lot you can’t – and AI, while being a helpful tool, certainly cant solve all problems!

Types of digital images and artwork – with or without AI
Types of digital images and artwork – with or without AI
01
Image Manipulation and Collage
I can take an image and alter it to fit, or move items (where possible), combine items or change colours for a design. The possibilities are endless, but it is important to remain level headed, otherwise a design can quickly be compromised. Image manipulation for graphic and web design is most often a tool to be used only in the context of, and to enhance, the overall design. I can also look at providing AI images for your project if it is appropriate, however, as with all AI, issues regarding copyright and ownership of any AI images remains a potential problem in the commercial world.

Digital Art
Digital art might typically be used for a display, or to produce a book cover, background or to create a bespoke piece of artwork. Like fine art, digital art can encompass many different techniques and styles. Digital art can be very clever and unique – you can do things with digital art that would be much harder using physical art and take a lot longer. AI now offers the ability for you to generate your own digital art and supply it to me to incorporate into a design (though copyrights need to be taken into consideration). There are times when digital art lends itself to a design and sometimes it is far better to use photography or traditional fine art and illustration.

Image Sourcing
Image sourcing involves initial consultation with you about the requirements you have such as the look and feel of the design, the message they want to convey, the mood they would like to set etc. From the information gathering stage, if you are not confident about sourcing images, searches can be done via photolibraries, photographers and illustrators to find matches for the brief, or ideas and concepts for presentation and selection. As photolibraries and others adapt to the new possibilities with AI, the way images are sourced may change, along with licencing, fee structures and, of course, copyright and ownership.

Creative Bytes brings to every project a rare combination of creative flair, technical expertise and attention to detail. Trevor is 100% professional and thoroughly reliable; but at the same time truly creative – able to follow and interpret briefs but also to volunteer different approaches, often hitting the perfect design solution from his own ideas. Highly recommended!
