Question for Photoshop designers
 

Guys, I don't know if there is a name for this type of graphic, that seems like it's been made with curved lines, but I was wondering if you know the name (in case there is a specific one) and if there is a tutorial out there that you know about that would teach me to make graphics like this one.

bumping myself. Come on guys, help me out here! :)

Vector. Can be done in PS, but Illustrator is better for that :)

Photoshop can do that no problem. Use the path tool.

Ya as suggested above that up there is a job that is better fit for Illustrator.

That image would be easier to create as a vector, and look 10 times better. The easiest way to do vectors is Illustrator...it's a very limited feature in PS.

True!

thanx guys! But is there a name for that kind of graphic (other than vector, which is a very broad term)?

Sorry, I don?t know. Well, in fact that graphic is not a vector graphic. It ?might? have once been a Vector graphic, now it certainly is a raster graphic. JPG and GIF are raster graphics.

How about.... Silhouette
