Too bad the signature picture is too large. I won't send you a warning if it stays removed once I remove it. Remember the size constraints are supposed to be 500x100 px and 19.5 KB. Use the signature picture upload feature in your signature options section of user CP to avoid this problem. Although I'm fairly sure you knew that as much time as you spend here. :slap:

oh my bad, thought it was 500 x150, i'll fix it up later and put a new one in tommorow.

CS3 has features those do not... I will stick with it till 64bit CS4 comes out! I like CS3 as it is easier to use than those older ones. I felt badly when I switched from CS2 to CS3, but I got over it.

Some stuff ive been playing with.

Approx 2 hours work (getting the idea, creating the effects, applying them, modifying them, etc)
Needs some fine detail, and a background texture for all the cards. But so far so good.

All images were my own. No use of other peoples brushes etc.

Question to the pro.
Do you ever find yourself stuck designing in a generic manner.
Or in other words, do you sometimes use a design approach/aesthetic that could easily be applied to anything.

And if so do you find your designs have similarities in their construction?
How do you overcome that?

I have a nasty habit of relying too much on photomanip/layers/blending and not enough on creating a working set of brushes, or working in abstract depictions etc. I know I have the problem so Im trying to get rid of it in my upcoming 4 month break (probably just give myself alot of different projects to do and scour a heap of tutes for knowledge and handy info)

This is a constant problem with anyone. Worse with pros. Creating becomes routine and so do the mechanics of how you create. Some call it style but its the death of a career most of the time. Best way to get out of it is to do something you don't want to do. Something your bad at. For me it was creating girly designs. I had to relearn my whole way of thinking and creating and in doing so I changed "style" just by proxy. Does that help ya?

Doing something I dont want to do is something I plan on doing in my holidays haha. Gonna learn illustrator (properly rather than for just what ive previously needed it for - I HATE Ai) and also gonna work on a corporate website, which Ive never:
a) made a professional webpage
b) used dreamweaver
c) Created corporate aesthetic (usually its realistic imagery rather than interfaces etc).

It will be hard and it wont be fun to do the reading/learning, but im sure it will become fun once its second nature.

I was wondering if there's anyone that might be interested in helping out with a mundane personal project for a game mod, I just don't have the upper skill level and experience with photoshop to pull it off.

A little project for anyone who wants a big thank-you..

Can anything be done to improve my wallpaper? The asian girls in the background need to go and the net is quite annoying. IDK, something for you to play with.

Its not a hard job. Its just a time intensive one.
And I dont know if theres enough detail in the photo to be able to pull it off (the girls should come out without too much drama but I can see the net causing issues).

I'm a little rusty on Photoshop due to me not using it for a month or two. Heres a quick wallpaper I rustled up. Took 5 minutes, Max.



Theres a few things I need to add to it. (Its a bit boring atm).
