This simple image or one similar may become part of an e-commerce website project we are working on to promote a brand of special lotions used by cancer patients. The image was created in Photoshop with a simple blue rectangular field processed through a cloud filter.
The central circular selection was converted with a free plug-in called Mezzoforce Ice. AlienSkin EyeCandy’s BackLight and Perspective Shadow filters were applied to the resulting image. I used Mezzoforce Ice last year on a photo illustration called Chilly Peppers which also appears on this site and in the Art on Disk photo gallery.
It’s always fun to make something out of nothing. This image goes one step further in that it indicates the idea of "layers of protection." Patients who have undergone cancer treatments are very sensitive to the sun, and the products we are hired to promote protect sensitive skin from harmful light rays during the treatment period without interfering with medical procedures. The intent is to show the coating concept in a sensitive, soothingly pleasant manner.
