Throwing together a poster/flyer for [url=http://swervesquad.bandcamp.com/]some guys.[/url] [url=http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8261/8683241540_b612b59d3e_o.jpg][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8261/8683241540_24f528340a_z.jpg[/img][/url] [i]Clicking the image takes you to the 8.8mb 5000x7500.jpg[/i] I'll admit the shadow under the AK is massively fucked. I'm not an artist so I had to cut/paste it from somewhere else. Other than that I (and they) seem satisfied with it. I know I don't contribute a lot to this community, but any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I'm not making any massive faux-pas, as this is supposed to go into print for both advertising and merchandise. Should probably mention it's going for an 80's anime/manga cover vibe. Cuh shoulda hired a pro.

It seems fairly fine to me, except I would probably either move the whole composition to be centrally aligned vertically, or would move the gun up so that there is an equal amount of space between the top of the page and the top of the gun, and the bottom of the shadow and top of text.

I have no idea what I'm doing! Cheers guys.
I'm curious if there are any major graphic design online communities similar to how CGhub or Polycount work.
Greetings ! I wanna start drawing things with a tablet and i would love if you guys could give me some tipps which Device is the best. I was looking forward to buy the wacom cintiq 12wx. Maybe you guys know better ones :) it should cost around 1000 € . thanks
i didn't win the daft punk thing, i dunno why it took them such a long time to select a final design but i got really close to winning [img_thumb]http://d8u1nmttd4enu.cloudfront.net/designs/22469332~cad25c3539978527de896e58633fe33d8bc0c536-original[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://d8u1nmttd4enu.cloudfront.net/designs/22430524~587e57cf89a23d7ef91051304e0607fdc6e0f1fb-original[/img_thumb] there were a lot of designs though, like 1300+, although this is sadly typical of 99designs. whatever, though, i only p much did it as a fun thing as opposed to like actual hardcore client work, wasn't really that hopeful i would win anyway. the last thing i will ever do on that site

I would go the the Creative Work that doesn't deserve a thread thread, or if its still around there was a thread exactly for asking which tablet to get. Personal suggestion, if you want to "start drawing "things" with a tablet" 1000 euros is way too much. Get a $100 - $200 dollar tablet first and see if you want to KEEP drawing things with a tablet.

i used a lot of layer mode trickery, but the main sort of glow was like a combination of lens blur and gaussian blur - the lens blur gets that glow around the intersecting vertices. the noise was basically photoshop noise except i sized it down to like a 1/5 of it's original size and then resized it back and basically from then on it basically playing with the contrast and layer modes
cool thanks

Thought you might want to know. [url]https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=553941521316045&set=a.133498630027005.12248.116019091774959&type=1&theater[/url]
i'm not italian, but ok, cool? i saw it posted on a lot of popular facebook groups. there was some person who said it was just some cinema 4d templete when it's actually just a picture of a SCSI controller i took IRL with an old powershot g10 and then edited over in photoshop

I'd really like to remake some PS2/PC covers.
usually glossy paper because i can't find any brochure paper which is what they would be printed on ideally
Around here I go to UPS to print usually, and they have all kinds of paper.

because there is a silhouette of deadite linda getting chainsawd
Mm, hard to see on my monitor, maybe up the contrast a little bit, cause without it being more obvious the layout of the text looks really odd.

if u cant see that silhouette your monitor is really really badly calibrated and you should probably get on that
the rags on all of your type are really bad and you have lots of widows and orphans
[QUOTE=MetalT0ast;40617821]the rags on all of your type are really bad and you have lots of widows and orphans[/QUOTE] What :v:?
[QUOTE=MetalT0ast;40617821]the rags on all of your type are really bad and you have lots of widows and orphans[/QUOTE] i know the type is lacking, i really dont care much about back cover. it's like, i know what the movie i own is, and since they're custom covers for people that already own it, i sort of rush through the back.

[thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16218991/Punt/new_logo2.png[/thumb] New logo for my sourcemod. I have a gradient version for in-game and a standard for media. Only thing I did not do was use spot colors since the colors in the mod are iconic. But I don't plan for it to leave the screen anyway.
i know the p doesnt look like a c, but is till read CUNT at first
