ey for u guys who still struggle with cropping, use the pen tool, get a brief outline of ur image, then add anchor points, it'll allow u to curve the line more precise.. magnetic tools r helpful but they don't always work great with backgrounds of similar colors or shadows, if u really need a guide i can take u thru it step by step thru email ([email protected]) as far as brushes go, they come in handy for quick creative backgrounds and or designs but u can make ur own brushes thru the pentool, or just chop n screw other brushes to form ur own, it takes a lil more patience to make ur own,


when it comes to making a picture.. its all up to the individual on wat they want to make..designs come from the mind, u just gotta figure out how to lay it out i'll show u guys a neat little trick for those of u who like messing with fonts, its about an 8-9 step process thru adobe but it's well worth the learn and once ur familiar with the program it only takes like 2 minutes to do

Your type is always the worst part of your "sigs" So how are you going to do a tutorial on fonts?


I'll just go ahead and comment before you develop your tutorial:

"At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

-Billy Madison



I didn't really make the first comment to mean, but seriously, people should not listen to you, especially regarding fonts and typography. Just like I couldn't go around teaching scuba diving. I don't know the first thing about scuba diving, and I have never scuba dived.

lol wth? i was never giving a tutorial on fonts, or even speaking on fonts, how stupid can u be to have read wat i said and understood i was speaking about fonts, wat i last said was that i can show people a trick on how to do a certain 8-9 step process of an effect to ur fonts, nothin about the actual font itself.. everything in the beginning was about outlining and cropping, and yea i do know wat im talking about, unfortunately no i don't take my time to make my sigs, if ur basing my talent off my sigs than ur an idiot...anyone that knows me or came to me for banners or sigs know i dont take more than 20 minutes, for one.. i have a lack of patience, i like things done as soon as possible even with errors and mistakes, yea im sloppy so wat, im still way more experienced than u.. when it comes to anything u'll never be first so stick to 8th cuz ur pathetic criticism deserves a merit award for most retarded..good luck on grasping an ounce of knowledge

lmao.

Your delusional. You have zero talent for design. You have zero eye for design. You have nothing that could possible resemble a correct theory on design, or any knowledge how to design anything.

I do this for a living. It's laughable for you to attempt to make these excuses to me "oh well it's a sig." So it's just your sigs that look God awful, and void of any design sense, style, color theory, or composition? Really, just sigs? Then please, show me something that's not fucking terrible. Either that, or shut the fuck up, and don't act like you know what your talking about. And don't try to teach people your shitty, shitty theories and practices of design.


(And keep in mind, I would be trying to encourage and help you evolve your graphics, even though your a faggot, if it wasn't for the fact i've seen you tell several people there garbage and amateurs.)

LMAO. Just noticed this. Like I said, I'm a graphic designer for a living, you moron. Your like 17. I graduated college with a degree in graphic design before you were a freshman in high school.


Seriously, your fucking delusional.

Smh. You don't listen. I do. As I said, that's what I do for a living.

This is my website: www.thinkfourdesign.com

This is my company, and im the only designer, so everything on it is my work.



Why do I not make sigs for a forum? I don't have time to work for free.
