PicsArt Monthly January 2014 Issue | Page 5

Welcome! The new year is here and PicsArt Monthly is excited to help you make 2014 the best yet for the photographer and artist in you. This issue is here to fill you with excitement, inspiration and ideas for ways to capture every moment of the new year. But before we plunge into 2014, we must pay homage to 2013, a big year for PicsArt. At the end of the year we completely redesigned our app for iOS7 and released some exciting new features for Android. Read up on these achievements in the New in App section. This month, to help you excel your photography and editing skills, we share some insight on how to achieve the best lens flare and give your photos a vintage, retro feel. As Valentine’s Day approaches we demonstrate how PicsArt can help you surprise your significant other with a customized Valentine Card- DIY or digital. We also bring you godly editing powers this month as we show how to use PicsArt to create your own hybrid mystical animal. To inspire you, we have gathered a collection of double exposure images by PicsArtists, one of the latest photography trends. The saying that art is what you make others see rings true in this trend, particularly as these images leave it all up to interpretation of the viewer. New places are always cause to whip out your DSLR or smart phone, and aspiring travel photographers will receive some guidance on how to make it more than a hobby from Tom Robinson, a travel photography veteran and inspiration. Explore our January issue to get the details on all of these features and more. @ma_lina Enjoy reading and feel free to send us your feedback at [email protected]. PicsArt Monthly | 5
