Again, thanks. I normally hate the various overused filters people use in Photoshop, i.e. Lens Flare, but in this case the halftone just felt right.

Melissa Clifton (http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-popart.html) and Les McClaine (http://jonnycrossbones.com/tutorials/how-to-color-like-a-little-old-lady/)have wonderful tutorials on how to get the comic book look. Haven't quite gotten it mastered, but these are a great way to start.

Is Illustrator the only Adobe program you can great the "moving" image or is it possible to do that in Photoshop as well?

Well obviously there's Flash. You can also use the Animation pallet in Photoshop CS3 to create gifs (it used to be standalone as ImageReady). I think you can also use Fireworks.

You can't create any moving images in Illustrator. Using Photoshop to create animated gifs is what you are looking for, I think.

Actually, you can create moving images in Illustrator. Just put each frame on a different layer and then export as Flash (swf) Photoshop works too though. If you don't have Photoshop, there is a free program called GIFfun that allows you to make animated gifs.

I made those gifs back in the days of ImageReady, but yes, as everyone said - Illustrator, PhotoShop, or Flash can output animations. As well as a nubmer of other, non-Adobe programs.

Those BugLife posters actually got me a D&AD Student Yellow Pencil Award :)

here is my humble work. I wanted to create a comic which should force more feedback out of the agencies I applied with. Made with drawing ink, feather and colorized in Photoshop.

Of the other works shown here I like the VW (Volkswagen) from oschu and the fashion comics from mousehole best because of their technical finesse.

Feedback-Comic (pdf, 350 KB) (http://tomasio.at/temp/Feedback_e.pdf)

I think that is a great idea. Have you actually sent it to prospective employers? If I was having trouble making a decision, this might sway me to choose you. If nothing else I'd think this might be a fun person to have around. Good luck.
