Photoshop 2026 Is Out — But I’m Still Rocking the 2022 Version

Image
  Adobe Photoshop 2026 - Plash image So, Adobe just dropped Photoshop 2026 , and the design world is buzzing! Everyone’s talking about the crazy new AI tools and faster performance. Meanwhile… I’m still here on Photoshop 2022 , doing my thing I haven’t tried the new one yet, but I’ve been checking out what it can do — and wow, it looks like Adobe really turned things up this time.  What’s Got My Attention The new AI design tools that can turn a text idea into an image — like, type it, and it appears! Smarter brushes that feel more natural for illustrators and digital painters (that’s definitely my lane). And apparently, it’s way faster and lighter than before — no more lagging when you’ve got a million layers open  My Honest Take Even though I’m still using 2022, I’m impressed by what 2026 is offering. But honestly, it’s not always about having the latest version — it’s about what you create with what you have. Smilogfx , I’m still pushing pixels, designin...

Experimenting with Jitter: A Graphic Designer's First Impression

Image
  As a graphic designer, I'm always on the lookout for new tools and software to expand my creative horizons. Recently, I had the opportunity to experiment with Jitter Video Animator, and I'm excited to share my first impressions. My first project with Jitter was to create a 7-second intro animation for Izwi Lomzansi 98.0 FM's logo. I was tasked with bringing their static logo to life, and Jitter seemed like the perfect tool for the job. From the get-go, I was impressed with Jitter's user-friendly interface. As a graphic designer, I'm comfortable working with design software, and Jitter felt almost like animating on a digital canvas. The intuitive controls and drag-and-drop functionality made it easy for me to navigate and experiment with different animations. Jitter Work station user interface The project itself was a breeze to complete. I imported the Izwi Lomzansi 98.0 FM logo, added some dynamic animations, and fine-tuned the timing to create a seamless 7-second...

Designing the Book Cover for Super Nurse by Prof. Nokuthula Sibiya

Image
  This was one of those projects that reminded me why I love what I do  I recently had the chance to design the book cover for Super Nurse , written by Prof. Nokuthula Sibiya — and it was such a fun and inspiring experience My Design Process I started off in Photoshop 2022 (yep, still rocking the 2022 version šŸ˜…). That’s where I built the main layout and got the overall look and feel right — playing with color, light, and the visual emotion I wanted the cover to have. Once that base design came together, I moved over to Illustrator to handle the finer details — the typography, spine, and back layout. Illustrator always gives me that crisp vector control I need to make everything print-ready and clean. The Vision The goal was simple: create a cover that celebrates the power, heart, and resilience of nurses. I wanted it to feel professional, warm, and heroic — just like the title. Final Thoughts Even though I’m still using Photoshop 2022, it just proves that you don’t ne...
