I've had that channel with that name for about 2 years, so the name isn't really something I'll change. We're the ones who make Teleported into Minecraft so the logo is based on the main character from that
I love graphic design, and I'm really impressed by some of the pictures posted on this thread. It really takes talent and a lot of intelligence to be able to use certain with those types of results. If you haven't or aren't currently going to school for graphic design, you should seriously consider it. Check out my website to find the best graphic design program for you.

I want some art direction challenges. Give me a fake band, album title and their genre or an author/book title and what the book is about. I will do the first five or so suggestions.
[QUOTE=T.F.W.O.;35950136]I want some art direction challenges. Give me a fake band, album title and their genre or an author/book title and what the book is about. I will do the first five or so suggestions.[/QUOTE] A death metal band cover for a band called "Pneumatic auto-eroticism". The band members literally have no foot in design or graphics what so ever thereof lacking any hints or thoughts about a certain style, you'll have to improvise it. All they did when they asked you to do it was pointing you at other death metal band covers and said "yeah, man, just, you know, do it kinda like that." A book cover about being social in an office environment, the book is called "desk corners". You have to include a witty slogan. A logo for a social medium (a chat and video kind of program or whatever). An abstract t-shirt design illustrating rain and relevant feelings. A commercial poster for a perfume. Directed toward women at the age range of 10-25 years.
What's a good substitute for Times New Roman? And also whats so wrong about it aside from being used all the time?
in a related question, is there a difference between Times and Times New Roman or are they the same thing?
[QUOTE=D3TBS;35992983]What's a good substitute for Times New Roman? And also whats so wrong about it aside from being used all the time?[/QUOTE] Times. Nothing too wrong with it if it fits the work, but being overused it's easier to hate when recognized and/or used improperly. [QUOTE=Barnhouse;35993028]in a related question, is there a difference between Times and Times New Roman or are they the same thing?[/QUOTE] Completely different fonts really, they are going for the same style and look, but they do so very differently, do a comparison yourself and you'll see. Everything is better about Times in my opinion.
and where can I find it for download? [editline]17th May 2012[/editline] I found this, don't really know if it's the same thing [url]http://www.fonts101.com/fonts/view/Fancy/56392/Times_NR_Czech.aspx[/url]
[QUOTE=dgg;35993380]Completely different fonts really, they are going for the same style and look, but they do so very differently, do a comparison yourself and you'll see. Everything is better about Times in my opinion.[/QUOTE] Yeah I've used Times a few times and really liked it, but someone told me they thought times and times new roman were the same, and ive never used a computer with both on to compare.

people probably already know about this but there's this really neat [url=http://fontstruct.com/]really neat website[/url] which allows you to make custom fonts really easily but more than that there's a good community around it which make nice fonts
A friend of mine recommended Garamond Georgia Minion Palatino I tried them, though I think it kinda changes the expression of the words

Lyon's my go-to serif generally, and it's fairly similar to Times New Roman so it should work for you.
Can someone make a Team Fortress parody logo for Killer7? I need it to make a parody poster.

Let's not make requests like this please, otherwise this will turn into a begging thread. Anyways, long time no post, something I did today: [thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25318683/volatilthoguht.jpg[/thumb] I was trying to make a serious logo for a government organization and ended up getting frustrated and making this..
makes me think of this [url]http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/city_of_melbourne_alternates.jpg[/url]
long live melbourne [editline]21st May 2012[/editline] melbournes is better because it doesn't have any of the shapes corners cut off, that's making the v look sloppy
The Melbourne is better because it's presented with different shades of the same color, mine's just a clusterfuck of colors/shapes :v:
Are website mockups okay in this thread? [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/bo1Pp.jpg[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Mordi;36054652]Are website mockups okay in this thread? [IMG]http://i.snag.gy/bo1Pp.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] yup
it looks too much like itunes or something
My initial goal was to make a dark website that looks good, since I dislike bright sites as they strain my eyes. I guess I failed hard in that regard. This is how it initially began: [url]http://i.snag.gy/75ywN.jpg[/url] It's supposed to be a website where you can post development logs on all kinds of projects.
That's in no way dark.
hey guys, made some progress on the student council header/logo! deadline's almost coming up, so feedback/criticism would be most appreciated. do ignore the crappy cropping! [img]http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/540033_3600056193121_1025019100_33262938_165897222_n.jpg[/img] thoughts? I'm still thinking of ways to make the bow in the logo pop out more without ruining the balanced sketchy sort of feel.
do you go to an archery school? [editline]23rd May 2012[/editline] i'm liking the choice of fonts (looks like Aachen for the title and something like Amatic for the handwritten bit?), but the "creating the future that we desire" font looks pretty out of place. also your tracking is way off on that bit the colours on the logo work for me, but on the banner they're too saturated and you have 3 different greens and 3 different yellows/golds. if you kept the colours more similar to the logo i think it would look better also does your school begin with B?
