    montagePhotomontage is a technique widely used by graphic designers and consists of cutting and joining multiple photographs in order to create a unique image, using graphic applications such as Photoshop.

    The idea here is to create the illusion that all of the photo elements are parts of the same photo.

    Follow these tutorials and mix them up. The possibilities are endless and the results can really stretch anyone’s imagination.

    You know, on the waterman photoshop job, I really don’t understand the burst of water in two rings around the left thigh. But it’s a great job, wish I could do that.

    I agree with bzodd above
    What does this have to do with web design?
    Wish author would cite each link with descrip otherwise you have to click on each pic only to find it goes to a site that you don’t want to go to

    Montage? I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

    These are absolutely beautiful! When I first started really learning Photoshop, I cut my teeth at Worth1000.com. They have some great tutorials written by their competitors, from the beginner to more advanced work, like above.

    As far as how this involves design, first, all ammo in your arsenal will make you a better designer, no matter how irrelevant you think at first. Second, being able to create beautiful and technically different montages will plump up your portfolio and make future clients go “ooooooh” and “aaaaaah”.

    Plus, image what you could design around art like that!
