Rule of Thirds: The rule of thirds is a guideline commonly followed by visual artists.

Graphic -Art Resources, Dictionary, Tutorials-  - post by be0ez 400px-Rule_of_thirds_photo
Note how the horizon falls close to the bottom grid line, and how the dark areas are in the left third, the overexposed in the right third.

Gradient Map/Photo Filter:
A utility used in graphic programs to
enhance and slightly familiarize all colors that are in the applied
project of art

Depth: One of the basic yet significant
parts of an image that ensures the focal and its surroundings in an
image stand out more; blurred parts of the background and a high
quality focal area

Anti-Alias: Sometimes abbreviated as
AA, it is basically smoothing out the lines to prevent the pixellated,
grained out look. Often done by the graphics program.

Dithering: It is the method of placing pixels of differing colors close
together to make it look like a blended one when zoomed out. Used to
get more color out of a limited palette or used in pixel art to create
texture and depth.

Scaling: When pixel art is displayed at a higher resolution than the source image, it is often scaled using the nearest neighbor interpolation algorithm in order to avoid the blurring caused by other algorithms such as bilinear and bicubic interpolation
– which interpolate between adjacent pixels and works best on
continuous tones, but not sharp edges or lines; nearest-neighbour
interpolation preserves these sharp edges, but it makes diagonal lines
and curves look blocky, an effect called pixellation.
Thus, hybrid algorithms have been devised to interpolate between
continuous tones while preserving the sharpness of lines in the piece;
such attempts include the 2xSaI and Super Eagle algorithms.

Ray Tracing:
In computer graphics, ray tracing is a technique for generating an image by tracing the path of light through pixels in an image plane
and simulating the effects of its encounters with virtual objects. The
technique is capable of producing a very high degree of visual realism,
usually higher than that of typical scanline rendering methods, but at a greater computational cost.
This makes ray tracing best suited for applications where the image can
be rendered slowly ahead of time, such as in still images and film and
television special effects, and more poorly suited for real-time applications like computer games where speed is critical. Ray tracing is capable of simulating a wide variety of optical effects, such as reflection and refraction, scattering, and chromatic aberration.

Resugere
-I get most of my textures from them,but though they have a lot of terms and conditions for using their resources,you guys better read them first before using any of their resources.

MrRobin
-He made some really good abstract C4D.

Liasmani
-He made some good Gradients.

GFX-Turf
-They have a good stock and render
