Just wanted to know what you guys think of it, took me one hour to do, quite long... I think the fina result is great thoe! Any fellow photoshoppers got a point of view? (Any input by non-ptoshoppers is appreciated too!)

Hey dude, You did a good job.

I like the lettering you used.

I have been trained in all the Adobe products and more, I think ya did awesome.

(One hint... less blue, use more variety)

Lol thanks.... Cool to see a graphic designer likes the work of a n00b like me Razz

I took the lettering from a paintshop pro tutorial, but I did the other stuff myself... I'll probably make a version with a fiery background, but I was kinda tired after that one!

Too bad my background creation program expires in 2 days... Crying or Very sad

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

your background creation program expires? is it one of those downloads or something that you only get to use it like 30 days?

WakeBoardingManiac · Addict Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 914 City: Montréal

, that person is a graphic designer, and they like that, wow, fire that person, why does it look like we are in the 80's or something, i dont know, its a little to much for me, looks like some teen girl thing no offence, here is a tip, the more simple the better, everyone likes simple things, simple things that look bold, not a buch of crazy colors and stuff.

ok douche, i actualy do have a job, im a production manager at an advertizing agency, i ment i need another job, because my boss is a weiner face. but anyway, as far as what i was doing i dident say it was hard, i was just using those things as examples of being simple. it shouldent take you long to do that, it takes about 3 minutes or so to whip out some thing like that. and its not the charcol effect its photocopy, noob. all you need is some cool filters and a basic understanding of how the layers and everything work to do anything cool. dont talk to me like you are good at computers or something, my NLE system and camera equiptment is worth more than your boat and car, b*tch

Ouch. You guys might be taking this a little too personal. Maybe take a deep breath.

WakeBoardingManiac · Addict Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 914 City: Montréal

Just wanted to tell you that "my" car and "my" boat are not even MINE and that you're bitching a 15 years old who never took any course in photoshopping or anything, and that he learnt everything by himself. Maybe you should review the way you say things to people.

This is gonna become a flame war... Weird how I feel that isnt it?

Weird also why he wants to try and prove something by saying hes got expensive equipment... Really, who cares, Im using all free stuff here, I've got no budget to buy myslef things a graphic designer is given by his boss... Rolling Eyes

Oh and also, what do you mean by calling me "douche"?

JamesWatts · Addict Joined: 21 Feb 2003 Posts: 685 City: Santa Monica

my "boss" dident give me anything, i personaly own all of my stuff, me and my 2 friends. and i replied to you in this way because you started talking about how your stuff like it was hard, chrome effect on text, takes like 3 seconds,and "making my own background", what are you talking about the crazy 80's crap thats in the background, then no, i have never tried that, if you showed that to someone that was in the industry they would laugh in your face, i wasent negitive, i gave you some strait up tips, In this industry people give you there mind, and tell you what they think,they dont beat around the bush, if someone thinks it sucks they are going to tell you. i told you what i though, and gave you some pointers, I never said that any of it was hard, and i dident take any photoshop courses, ive been using it since 4.0, and have taugh myself all of it.

Wow man, like if this was going to affect me a bit... Maybe you didnt understand that I wasnt looking for a job, and that I am not looking to become a graphic designer ANYWAY, and that i do this for FUN. I've been using PAINT SHOP PRO TRIAL version for 2-3months and I'm NOT looking to do something "professionnal" but simply something fun to look at... I am NOT using any professional software like you do...

And also, why did you have to prove that you were able to do mettalic text? Was it only to show that you were better than me or simply to try to piss me off? Or maybe theres another reason I havent thought of... Wink

And you still havent answered my question about trying to prove your richer than me...

WoW, to think that this all started because I as a graphic designer told a 15 year old that his photoshop work was awesome.

No, I shouldn't be fired for telling a boy he did a good job!

James, You are suppose to egg on the youngsters with stuff they enjoy doing, not throw the egg on their face!!!!

James, CHILL!!!

wakemaniac, if you go back and look at his original posts, he was just offering some tips. He went a little overbored after that but at first all he said was it was to much.

WakeBoardingManiac · Addict Joined: 12 Jan 2003 Posts: 914 City: Montréal

Well, he also said that it looked like a teen girl's work, and that we looked liek we were in the 80's and that is pretty much pejorative no? And saying to fire someone because she liked what I do is pretty dumb and arrogant, so it simply pissed me off.
