@ZachSaucier Probably time to plup in an IPS monitor. :P

@Johannes UI developer always sounded like quite a broad title to me. What sort of products?

@johnp If you like illustration then do that. Don't waste your time getting good at what you don't like. Just work on what you love and get good at that. There's competition but if you put in the effort then it'll be worth it.

What does designer need to know to design template to be printed on notebook's page?

@Boris_yo could you be a bit more specific? What kind of notebook?

@marcusdoesstuff I have nice monitors for my desktop but it's dead right now :(

Hey guys, I posted a question here: graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/62750/…. I hope that anyone can help me. We made a layout in photoshop. Now

I wanted to give the space between the text and an object above to the html programmer. He says he needs the space from the textbox to the object. But here is the problem: thetextboxes are different. The box in photoshop is not so high like the one in html. Has anyone an idea how I can give him the right space that it looks exactly the same? I postet a picture unde the link.

@WeareBorg as per my comment, I think you need to fiddle with the element's padding manually

@Vincent: Thank u for your answer! Can u explain me how it works? I tried it with a negativ top padding but it didn't work

@WeareBorg I'd've posted if I knew of a better or more accurate solution, sorry. :)

Hello everybody

@Vincent: Thank u for the idea ;)

Think I got inspired by an article I read yesterday and have a great idea for this week's challenge. Really hope people show up for it

hey Ryan

@WeareBorg maybe reducing the line-height works?

morning

morning darth

is it just me or is anyone else disappointed in the level of questions we've been getting lately?

so everyone have a great halloween?

@Darth_Vader Scott, at least :P

lol it just becomes more and more apparent to me that few on here are designers and many have close minded views on what design is

@Ryan agreed

@Vincent: Nice idea. But what happens when the text is unfortunately in 2 lines? Then both lines stuck together with such a small line height. And it is not scaleable when I increase the font size.

How are u all giving briefings of a layout to the programer so that the position of the text is the same? Are u using the text box? Or how are u doing it?

Thanks for answers

I don't deal with programmers or web based design much

@WeareBorg for starters... If any way possible, try not to be hung up on exactly matching Photoshop--you're never going to succeed in that

a Photoshop mockup of a website is a tool, not an aim.

I need to get better at using my arm instead of my wrist. Really wondering if my desk height makes this more difficult

@Vincent: That's a nice advice ;)

can I ask for some suggestions on a site implementation?

no. -.- lol

well.. ok..

S.E. Chat Requirements say don't ask permission to ask :P

seriously @Darth_Vader you're going to leave because of a sarcastic joke from me? sigh.

@Ryan needed to clear my cache so had to exit

wasn't looking for a way to display information under a post line.. First line starts with date and author but lost in trying show software or specs below that

typical post design has author and date on one line then the next is social media.. Im stuck in displaying specs and I dont want to use a table

Are you stuck on coding or on design?

no got the coding down stuck on design

got a screenshot

ok will have one in a little bit

wow Tilt is pretty terrible user experience

tilt?

Tilt.com

just bought a shirt for me and my training partner that goes to support Cancer research. Had to ask on IG where I saw it how to order two sizes. The response was order then order again and they'll make sure its one package

Then when ordering there was no Confirmation / Double Check. Enter credit card info and bam, done, nothing saying it went through or confirmed or anything. Got email receipt though

@ZachSaucier I've been looking at monitors for my home desktop. Probably going to be an IPS. Ultra wide, curved gsync maybe? Hah

@Ryan nice Q!

@marcusdoesstuff thunderbolt monitor for the win.

@Vincent eh concenred people are going to take it to be asking about feedback on the quick mockup I made. Like Amont and even you to some extent did

If my stupid internet would work I'll edit my question to try and make this clear

good point

improving answer

my actual piece is animation I'm overlaying on the video I'm working on. Thought if I even mentioned animation or video though it would get ignored and/or closed so left that part out

Im gonna edit my question with your picture Vincent lol

updated my answer

@Ryan ooh, just deleted it

I got it already :)

welcome :D

@ryan are you going to animate the 'drawing' of the oval?

if so, consider adding a sharpie sfx or something the like

sharpie sfx?

its already animated

I did 4 hand drawn animations in this one to indicate components, have 2 more hand drawn pieces to go

oh sound effects. No, there's background music and voiceover

then still :)

Here this is what the animation looks like

it stays on after as the video continues.

where in previous videos I just had a vector square basically form around whatever I needed to highlight, or even a circle just fade on

this looks good :D

Since I've been learning frame by frame animation I thought I'd put it to use, but not sure if I'm using it to keep myself interested or if it does work. I think it does :\

I tried to do animations like those in Flash way back when. Was quite the pita to make

bakabaka.nl/preview/yben

is yours layer masks revealing each piece or drawn frame by frame?

@Ryan yup

which? lol

frame by frame

nice! that is a lot more intricate than what I've done

for the drawings at least. The photographs were easier

tx :)

hmm @Vincent think I should just remove the pictures entirely from my question? Is it just confusing people to think thats my actual work? Amont even after my edit seems to think so

@Ryan I don't think you should. You might want to remove the critique tag, tho

What do you think of it now with the picture removed, critique tag removed, and edited? I can always roll back (or you can)

sniff my beautiful picture ToT

:P

Much better, leave it like this I'd say

and now I think Amont is upset so downvoted it :\

Possibly :/

@Ryan my lackluster GPU appears to be the root of that Premiere issue, switching from hardware to software preview rendering seemed to resolve it

at least you got it resolved

yeah, I can just do the transformation last before rendering too

what is it? a trade show display mock or something?

a silly YouTube video for a friend

but what are you putting the video on using the corner pin?

6 videos, one for each green box:

Wait if they're just straight why aren't you just using Scale and Position for them?

they are slightly not straight there but they won't always be like that either

ah okay

@marcusdoesstuff Thanks for your wise words :) I'll do my best

@joojaa since I see you answered the question on SuperUser, do you think its okay that I migrated it?

I made a Meta question discussing it as well if you want to chime in

@Ryan No problem superuser is fine

I got a yearling badge for it :)

Hi

i have a question about something I am working on, kinda need a suggestion on it

so i am designing a poster for an event coming up at my work and this one is for volunteers, I can't think what should go on the empty space

text? I have no idea, I don't even know what the event is

just an annual get together kind of an event

i am switching between :"we need you/heroes" and something like that but it just doesn't make sense

@AnujKaithwas I don't think I can offer you much without knowing a lot more about it. Looks nice so far though

oh

well let me try

it's an annual meet that we have at work, there are activities followed by a formal dinner party at the end of the day

they need volunteers who could do some work and take the load off from the organizing comittee

Then say that?

sorry?

i was thinking of typing a message using some typography like, "we need you to be a hero, gather arms and volunteer"

i don't know :\

damn
