TwentyTwenty Slider - Slide and reveal photos and images examples of cut-outs.

To illustrate some of what can be done with image manipulation this page offers a few examples of cut-outs. Many publications and/or websites will cut out the subject of their pictures to apply consistent backgrounds. These backgrounds can tie-in the look and feel of publication conforming to the visual design. Not only adding uniformity to a design but also creating “viewer” focus (no distracting backgrounds). It’s utilised by graphic designers and advertising industries alike to good effect.

My background is in Graphic Design (BTEC in Graphic Design & Print Origination), starting working life producing graphics and brochures for the print industry. This is why I refer to myself as a Full Stack Web Developer “+” these days. The plus, being the graphic design background and years spent in different graphic design and advertising agencies.

I must say I miss the finer control over typography that print work afforded me, however I have learnt many trickeries to attain the same professional results on the web.

I LOVE photo manipulation in Photoshop from regular Photoshop cut-outs as witnessed on this page to photo montages and manipulation.

I still enjoy print work! The mainstay of my work these days is the production of websites and I’ve gained extensive knowledge of SEO, HTML e-mail production, Google account administrations, Professional e-mail signatures (the ones that do not appear as annoying attachments), CMS systems including Wordpress & Surreal, I code in W3.css, HTML5, PHP & Javascript etc. Oh, and having worked on Macs since ’85 I’m an excellent troubleshooter & technical support for macs.
