Create your world. Here’s a Bamboo that is just right for

those with artistic interests! With its larger digital canvas, Bamboo Create is great for all types of digital art projects, including sketching, illustrating and digital painting.

Inspire. Create. Imagine. Bamboo Create opens up a new world for digital art and photo projects. With twice the workspace of other Bamboo

tablets, Bamboo Create gives you plenty of space to express yourself, enabling broad brushstrokes or arm movements.

Let your imagination soar as you freely and naturally draw, paint, doodle and sketch in your favorite software. Use software applications like Adobe® Photoshop® Elements, Corel® Painter™ Essentials and Autodesk® SketchBook® Express, all included in the box, to explore a variety of digital media, including pencils, pens, markers, chalks, watercolors, oil paints and more.

Your pen gives you the feel of working in natural media.Bamboo Create is perfect for art projects that require a larger digital canvas. Turn digital images into special mementos. Use the pen to add hand-drawn embellishments or journaling to your projects and photos. Create unique, personal invitations, greeting cards and photo books to print and share digitally with friends and family.


BambooCREATEFrom road signs to technical schematics, from interoffice memo-randums to reference manuals, graphic design enhances transfer of knowledge and visual messages. Readability and legibility is en-hanced by improving the visual presentation and layout of text.

I love my Create tablet. I got it a year ago, set it aside for awhile, but then started test-ing it out...and I was extremely satisfied! It is very user-friend-ly, in my opinion, and every-thing is working properly. I really appreciate being able to adjust the pressure sensitivity, and I was very satisfied with the accompanying programs considering the considerably low price of the complete package. I highly recommend this product to others looking to purchase a drawing tablet at an affordable price!

-Keegan Phillips

Had mine for almost a year. Twice I had to reboot my pc to get it going and I am half way through my second nib. I use it almost daily. I thought the connection at the tablet end looked a bit dodgyMF so I added a little foam and tape around it. The tablet and pen have both survived a couple drops. It works perfectly. Out of the bundled software I like Autodesk’s Sketchbook the best, bought the $29 upgrade to Sketchbook Pro. Even bet-ter. Thank you Wacom and Autodesk, good stuff, I’d buy another in a second-Al Jollimore


He began his career in graphic design as a pro-

duction artist but soon gained more interesting challenges. He moved to Chicago in 1980 and worked for many pres-tigious ad agencies, includ-ing BBDO, Marsteller, Foote Cone & Belding, Young & Rubicam, Ketchum, and DDB Needham. In 1991 he founded Segura Inc. to pursue design more creatively with the goal of blending as much “fine art” into “commercial art” as he could.

Segura Inc. and T26 have received numerous awards from organizations around the world, including the Tokyo Type Directors Club, The Society of Typographic Arts, both the New York Art Direc-

Segura Inc was the beginning of a series of commercial ventures that expanded Carlos Segura’s creative efforts. In 1994, the T26 Digital Type Foundry was born to explore the typographical side of the business. T26 fonts are now distributed throughout the world.

“We have been very much impressed by David’s ability to literally read our minds and deliver a corporate identity which perfectly symbolizes our vision and conveys the stylish, el-egant and modern image we needed to sustain the international development of our company.”

DAVID AREY

I’m a graphic designer and occasional author who special-izes in designing brand identi-ties. People hire me because I help make their businesses more profitable

Companies I’ve worked with include Yellow Pages (Can-

ada), Giacom (England), Asian Development Bank (Philippines), and Berthier Associates (Japan).

Self-employed since 2005, my business is successful because it’s less about me, and more about my clients; about the direction their companies are heading and about the success they will achieve. The ideas I create don’t just ensure my clients stand-out, they also provide timeless visual expressions that enable clients to engage and connect with their own customers more effectively than ever before.The people I work with are often kind enough to offer testimonials.I’ve gained experience in both the United Kingdom and the United States and you’ll now find me in my home studio in Northern Ireland where I work with great people all over the world.A selection of previous identity projects are in my design portfolio.

My first book, Logo Design Love: A Guide to Creating Iconic Brand Identities, has been translated into Chinese, Portuguese, Czech, German, Polish, Korean, Russian, and Japanese (publisher links).

“Anyone involved in creating visual identities, or wanting to learn how to go about it, will find this book invaluable.”— AIGA MEDALIST TOM GEISMAR

— DAVID SADIGH, FOUNDER & CEO, DLG


My second book, Work for Money, Design for Love, went on sale in November 2012.

I’ve featured in publications including Creative Review, Computer Arts, HOW Maga-zine, Digital Arts, LogoLounge, and others.My graphic design blogs Logo Design Love, davidairey.com and brand identity showcase Identity Designed are visited by more than 600,000 designers each month.

My Twitter account is followed by thought leaders in design that in-clude Chermayeff & Geismar, Penta-gram, Debbie Millman, John Maeda, Siegel+Gale, Mark Boulton, John Boardley,

Moving Brands, Landor Associates, The Partners, Antonio Carusone, Tina Roth Eisenberg, Vitaly Friedman, In-terbrand, Simon Manchipp, Cameron Moll, and Khoi Vinh.If you’re in need of a new brand iden-tity it’d be great to talk.

“I recommend David unequivocally and would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

Tutorial #1DINES from Studio Blup walks through how to inject life into your work by manipulating found imagery and natural elements

•Software Photoshop CS5 or later•Time needed 6 hours•Skills ◦Master colour and level treatment in Photoshop ◦Warp selective imagery ◦Find beautiful shapes within found objects

•Download support files


In this tutorial I’ll explain how to create a stunning piece of artwork using

found natural elements and hidden shapes within objects. By creating a story within your work, you can really bring your artwork to life – the theme for this piece is ‘be free’.

When you get yourself out into a natural environment and photograph found objects,

you’ll discover inspira-tional shapes and tex-tures everywhere. I’ll talk you through how to warp and abstract these images to bring your artwork to life.

01 The first step is to source images from your local surroundings. Hunt out textures and interesting visuals – in this particular design I’ve included natural elements. These will form the key focal point in the final collage. Look out for unusual and abstract shapes that you think will work well in your design.

05 Cut out your chosen sections and position them on your art board. I’ve also added sections of purple cloth, which can be found on your disc, to build up my design. At this stage, experiment with the shapes in your collage and try out different arrange-ments to create the effect you want within your image. 06 Now sharpen the colour contrasts of the dancer figures. Firstly adjust the saturation to -83 and then change the levels to 25 black, 0.48 grey and

223 white. The white output levels need to be set at 213. 07 Select the tree stump from the support files and place it onto your art board. Use the Warp Transform function on this image and adjust its levels to help the object blend into the collage effectively. You can dupli-cate as many of these as you want.
