[QUOTE=lexus04;29915937]god damn it dgg now this song is stuck in my head [editline]19th May 2011[/editline] gahaflskdjfeoirkf[/QUOTE] It's been in my head for years. About time someone share the pain.
Guys, what are some good books on environment, digital art or anatomy? It's my birthday today and I'm after some good recommendations to go spending my dosh on.

Save your dosh Just use online tutorials

I made a thread awhile ago for a story I wrote, and got a handy amount of criticism on the first few chapters of it. Though since then I've written much more, and haven't gotten a single reply on it for about 6 months now (I still bump the thread once I make some progress on it...:v:). Should I just move on? I've tried practically every source I can think of but I don't think I'll be able to find anyone interested in it, and the only people who I can get to read it are yes-men.
Oh god this guy on youtube is arguing with me. He actually thinks consoles are more powerful than the highest spec of gaming PC. I've posted a link to the PS3 specs then to a gaming pc which clearly shows that the PC is better but he still blurting out shit and calling me a fag. He's telling me he's bought new hardware for the PS3 which makes it faster than any PC. I tell him that consoles are just dumbed down PC therefore will only be as good as the current power of PCs. He's 23 and acts like a child just because he's on the internetz

Saw this and thought of you movie posters Rusty. [img]http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/56/56669.jpg[/img]
thats almost a rip off of this though [img]http://www.iwatchstuff.com/2011/03/04/source-code-olly-moss.jpg[/img]
Both awesome!
oh wait i read an article for that resistance 3 poster and the dude did 'work heavily' with olly moss no wonder [editline]20th May 2011[/editline] i feel like it's missing something though i guess he didnt work closely enough with olly if u havent worked it out already olly is one of my designer idols. thats why most of my work looks like his although i'd like to think its different enough that im not copying him? just heavily inspired either way im a beginner and i guess my own style will develop from it

In the Source Code poster there is elements everywhere that needs to be covered in order to fill up the poster properly without ruining the minimalistic style. The resistance poster seems off balance and too centered, especially with such a direct camera angle and everything. It's all put in the middle and doesn't really lead your eyes. It also lacks any information of any kind making it really empty. Biggest problem with Resistance is how the title blends a bit in with the illustration. So if you focus on the man you miss parts of the illustration and if you focus on the text you see the top of the illustration. You never really get the chance to relax and just watch one of the elements because they are both disturbing eachother. In the Source Code poster you can watch the man and the whole illustration without reading the title, and whilst reading the title you only focus on the title.
speaking of olly moss and off topic chat, his exhibition looks amazing [url]http://www.moss.fm/post/5323145602/cut-out-show[/url] this one made me cream my pants [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2373/5701990622_3768c3c2d4_z.jpg[/img]
Hey guys, can you help me with something? I have a JPEG photograph that I want to have CMYK colours with only the black/yellow channels activated, but as soon as I save it turns them all on. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/LL2iQl.png[/img]
[QUOTE=wewt!;29949753]Hey guys, can you help me with something?

[img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/LL2iQl.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Only way I found is that you remove all the channels except for yellow and black. This makes it impossible to save it in normal image formats so you'll have to screen print the result instead and crop it in a new document. Hopefully there is a better method out there. Fiddling a bit more to see if I can find another way. Pretty odd that you can't just leave the two channels visible and save it like that though.

It's weird, but I'm designing three articles for our schools magazine and they have this weird two channel system. It's always one colour a year, this year it's yellow :v:

You have to put a black layer underneath (preferably with +1 light so it isn't pitch black) it so you only have the channels visible of course. Doesn't give you yellow colour though.
what if you black out CM? v:v:v
[QUOTE=lexus04;29950285]what if you black out CM? v:v:v[/QUOTE] Haha, yeah that works too. Just white out, not black out. Black = more information White = Less information.
