Because people keep missing Kickstarters, beta tests, and other time-sensitive RPG stuff, I now maintain a Cool Stuff pin for the RPG General Chat. But lately I've been the only one suggesting things to put on it, so it's getting narrowly focused on stuff from my RSS feeds.
Clearly, to solicit a wider range of input, a motivational poster was needed.
I don't make that many new documents and they don't often use the same settings... When they do, I tend to make a template or work from another file so it's not that useful...
But getting rid of auto-hyphenation and setting my custom justification values in stone is nice.
Pretty good. This girl I contacted a while back on IG to see if she'd be interested in modeling for me just got back into town. Hoping to have the chance to do something with her since she's leaving again in like two weeks
Gotta see if she's free over the weekend to do a shoot
nah, that is a good friend of mine that's always here. This is just some random girl on IG that is trying to get into modeling. When I first contacted her she lived here but then she randomly decided to move to LA to try to make it
I'm really not sure she's got the body to make it as a model. But she's interested in doing a shoot so would be mutually beneficial. And I can do wonders in post production lol
@Ryan yeah... at least they didn't tell you to download the website header logo hehe But yeah, lazy designer or another employee not knowing what's a vector
and at the moment I'm pretty busy with stuff. The association we joined has two shows in the Spring. One was already sold out but we got into the second one. Also got into their publication to promote ourselves before the event but again last minute.
I need to get the affiliate member logo to include in the ad which is due tomorrow
Then next week is American thanksgiving so we're only open Monday and Tuesday. Then the week after that I go to NY for a meeting and to get more footage of our product
@Ryan I see! Yeah time goes so fast just before the holidays... clients all want the stuff done for january. I'm working on 2 books and 2 manuals, and ton of other projects that I'm waiting feedback for, meh. As you see I'm not an early bird, just working on the australian timezone again heehee
And I have that Illustrator's book I'm publishing too... she's young, I signed a good contract with her but she really mademe waste my summer waiting for illustrations and I'll miss the holidays sales for sure
More like business books, and the illustration one is more like a cartoon heroin
Yeah fun to work with authors, we're expanding to be publishers ourselves actually
good :) just been brushing up on my drawing skills for a charity booklet thing for college. It's hard to find any good resource on expressive facial anatomy
wondering if my cruddy laptop can handle it before I start making purchases. Now that I know my finances a bit for the next year I really want to get cranking on personal site / freelance stuff
@Ryan Only thing I can tell you about my experience with cute video editing software is to try them at "full intensity" if you can. My issue was often how they're not optimized and big montages can be a pain and crash. But I'm not an expert, so I guess I can't blame the software all the time
@go-meek ya at work I've tried using some cruddy free one. Eventually I'll probably have to get the boss to buy one. But I want to start making some tutorials and such on the side
@Ryan Great idea! Unfortunately I can't suggest anything, even the small paid software I tried were eventually annoying to use for what I liked to do. I don't know what's supposed to be the top video software anymore. Do you know?
ive been considering going that route since I could use monitor and computer. Ill figure something out. Find out what if anything I get as holiday pay next week. Then... shopping :))
(or not, you know, depending on what if anything I get)
:D:D Well the new imac 5k looks good. I know you might not buy used but if you do, don't buy the series from like 2013... can't even add more ram yourself
well if you do plan on doing freelance stuff more, it's (usually) actually good to have hardware expenses for taxes. At least here
you basically give your money in taxes or have a nicer computer
I dont know I'm so torn on what to invest in first. I know I need to get some small light reflectors and maybe a filter or two for photos so buying those today. That tends to be how I work... but only when absolutely necessary
I prefer the file management of Windows but some applications I like are Mac only (irony considering it always used to be the reverse). I don't want a touch screen at all. I want 4k and a really big monitor like a 32" or even 40"
I'd prefer SSD or something else that's very fast and reliable
Graphics Card doesn't need to be gaming quality but something that handle After Effects and the improvements Adobe made to Illustrator and InDesign and such
and I'd really prefer if this was all not integrated so I could upgrade without having to start from scratch
Let's see... then I'm pretty good on software but would like a new camera for myself since I currently use my work camera for personal stuff. A few lenses, reflectors, filters, and lights.
Software wise if I had the opportunity to and could afford it I'd consider learning Cinema4D at least a little but would probably be counter productive
It's fine, I'm aware any user online could and yes possibly the owners too. I have no problem with this
It's alright! Well, to get back on computer stuff, I guess you'll need a clone if you want a PC without the "integrated" graphic card... unless this changed in the last years :/
You don't make it easy on yourself haha Even more parts and stuff to choose from!
I discovered sometimes it's not such a big deal to just go for it. Like the reason I had a mac mini is because my mac pro just stopped working and I needed a computer the same day... and that's all they had! But it wasn't that bad after all
@Vincent He blames you for his perfectionism about his perfect computer room with perfect giant monitors and perfect neon PC and etc.
If I need to make more than a hundred documents, with the same layout but different content, it seems to make sense for me to use a master page and do them in the same InDesign file (exporting them to individual pdf pages at the end) so I can tweak the layout later.
If every document needs to ha...
@JohnB in Dutch we have the expression 'Er geen gat meer in zien', which means 'To have given up hope on something', but translates literally to 'not seeing a hole in something anymore'
Background:
For my design work, I sometimes create portraits to illustrate campaigns and other media. In an effort to avoid mis-appropriating someone's likeness, I tend to draw from a collection of unrelated found portraits and previous life-drawings to construct a "unique" portrait. I've always...
that has to be the most paranoid thing I've ever written...
any thoughts on it? Something relatable would be that game The Last of Us having a character with a likeness of Ellen Page.. don't think she sued though
it'd be nice to put my silly anxiety to rest! :v If my sources are correct, then street photography is technically illegal here... Kinda silly how someone can claim a right to privacy on a public street, for eg... Never liked copyright!
Yeah makes things a bit complicated! I'm sure you won,t have issues with the montage... at some point people have "face patterns"! We all know some people that look alike
just be careful before "rubbing" yourself on strangers if you don't want to be disappointed at having 1-life and not 9! I guess it could make some big gorillas upset!
I don't know any gorilla people but they certainly exist!
Hey that law stack is going to be very cool to "abuse"! A bit stressful to ask questions but we kind of know the drill
I'm actually more interested in reading their advice on legal stuff than what other designers might say. Even though I need to read a few times to get it :>
Hey all, I wasn't sure how to ask this question but is there anyway to manually tile images across various size artboard other than doing it in Illustrator?
Example: I need my left panel to sit 7" higher than the right panel. I usually do this in InDesign and then do the tiling in a rip program but I am not sure how else to tile various size graphics than doing it in Illustrator.
I'm trying to create a script for Adobe Illustrator that does the following thing (steps 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 are very very similar) :
1) select everything that has RGB stroke color 50,50,50
2) set their fill-color to a CMYK 150,150,150,150
3) set their stroke-color to 5 points, color CMYK 0,0,0,...
