Fotolia presents Marumiyan, TEN Season 2's 4th digital artist
This April, TEN Season 2's 4th digital artist, Marumiyan from Japan, unveils his creation. “I took on the TEN project because I found it interesting. I figured I could create even more elaborate and attractive photomontages through the use of Fotolia’s images. The images make the artwork more powerful. As a graphic design teacher, I also appreciate the learning and pedagogical aspect of the project, which helps others learn,” he explains. His design for TEN, entitled “ON”, is built around Japan’s iconic bonsai tree, and eloquently built around his theme of choice: sound. Complete with speakers, amplifiers and cables, Marumiyan’s visual symphony is a sight to be seen – and heard. The PSD file for his design will be available for free download on Wednesday, April 10th, for 24 hours at www.tenbyfotolia.com.
