Hey guys!
I have a burning question for you all, this can apply to anyone on the forum, new and old, it's mainly a get to know you session, just to get an idea of who's who.
-What is your specialist design subject?
-Or what specialist subject are you currently working towards?
-How did you find yourself specializing in this subject?
-What has motivated you to keep at it?
-Do you have any examples of your work to show?
Your specialist area doesn't necessarily have to be including Photoshop as the pivotal tool here, your camera and a good lighting set up might be all you need.
For example, My current specialist design subject is 3D modelling and texturing for games.
How
I came across 3d Modelling as my main subject over a year ago in my A level Graphic Design course, I wanted to think outside of the box compared to my classmates, so I looked into using 3dsmax for some of the parts of my composition. I've been texturing game assets since 2012.
I'm on 3dsmax nearly every day, so I've been getting plenty of practice in, it was initially very hard to get used to, because I was so used to thinking in 2d, but once I grasped it, I had grasped it for life.
I was texturing game assets at the age of 15, my comprehensive knowledge of photoshop by this point had helped me achieve very high quality textures to upgrade the 2001 game Ghost Recon. The project too approximately a year of solid texturing after school to complete
Motivation:
My primary motivation is seeing the models and textures take form, and Every day I'm learning. These days I find myself more and more surprised at how quickly I can learn new things.
I've currently found my place in an Arma 3 modding team, building character models and accessories, as well as a weapon, for the game, and I have been previously approached by Indie Game Devs to help them with their character design.
This is my most recent project, and this is also my first weapon project.

Hand created face textures:
so the questions above are there to be answered. where do you stand in the creative arts?
Hello, I am opening a new game studio and need a graphic designer to create logos, backgrounds and wallpapers.
I know asking for someone to do this for free is quite a lot I am willing to pay you once I get funding to produce our first game, so if your good you may be able to stay around to create design work for our production in games.
Here is a short description of our company:
We're a team of two who were founded in January, 2015. Our goal is to produce high quality, innovative works of electronic art. We are mostly interested in creating games that include rich, open world, multiplayer environment
If your interested in doing some free design work until I receive fundings, I would be glad to here from you. Post in this thread or contact me here
Luke.
Note: I Apologize that I didn't give you anything to start with, my computer played a trick on me where I accidentally hit the enter button and submitted my request while I was still typing.
Hello everyone, M1GMan Here! I'm working on a Veterans Day wallpaper project for this year, and I wanted to include the atrocities of war (no graphic content) in which a girl is sitting next to a bunker wall in the midst of the aftermath of a fearsome bombing raid (in reference to the Blitz that occurred in 1940-41). The subject's name is Louise Brooks, and the original picture is a snapshot from the 1928 silent film Beggars of Life that she appeared in. I've already worked on matching colors with the destroyed church, the sky, the rubble and debris, and somewhat with the bunker wall that she's suppose to sit against, in relation to the subject herself using Photoshop CS3.
What I need: I need the subject to look like as if she is actually sitting against the bunker wall by adding any effects to make it look natural (you can use shadows, blur effects, lighting effects, etc.). Don't worry about the rubble and debris background and the church, for I'll take care of those elements later. But for now, I just need you to make the bunker wall and the girl look like they go together. I've added a PSD file to make it convenient for you to work with the separate layers in which each should have at least two copies of each other (with the exception of the destroyed church, and additional copies of the Louise Brooks photo that I made for cutting her out of the original background).
If you need any additional information or materials, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Hi Everyone. Im certainly not new to Photoshop. I have been using it since 1998 everyday. I am a graphic designer.
Think the reason I never come across this problem usually is because I make all my artwork for print in Indesign.
EG bring vectors in and images etc.
This particular project I have loads of textures that go over vector smart objects in Photoshop. As part of the look I need these textures and light leaks flooding across over the vectors I have placed in Photoshop.
Its a Zfold brochure and have built the whole thing in Photoshop due to the style I wish it to look.
MY PROBLEM
I have exported a 1x front of brochure and 1x Back as a Photoshop PDF and placed into indesign so I can use my fold and crop marks. This makes the live type that was in photoshop perfect and cant tell the difference that it was originally in Photoshop, it looks Indesign quality on my laser printer. The vector smart objects though are really blurry. Is there any way to keep the smart objects from rasterizing when saving in a file format?
Ok guys so ill start by saying that I am new to Photoshop, slowly learning my way threw things as I go. I picked up adobes offer on Photoshop/lightroom so those are the only 2 programs i currently have to work with. I am on a paintball team and we got jerseys made. We had quite a few problems with the company printing them so they offered to throw a free banner in for us. The issue is that we didnt already have a banner designed and since the design cost would be on the company printing it now they came up with a pretty horrible design, they literally just took the front of our jersey and put it on the banner and it looks pretty bad. Im having a roadblock on how i could even design this banner so I was hoping to have a little input from everyone here. I will post our jersey below, their suggested banner, and then just a fun little mock up that I did trying to learn my way threw photoshop. Please note that on my mock up i used words instead of actual sponsor logos, i need to use logos in the actual banner but couldnt get it to look right with them in mine.
is there any design notes facility in Photoshop.Where my team can see what i have done on an ongoing work like how many pixels radius i used on a rectangle etc.. working in a team?? Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
I hope you all don't mind me asking a few questions in this thread regarding a graphics design apprenticeship.
Well since I am a huge fan of photoshop, and love designing. I wanted a career out of it so I have decided I would like to do an apprenticeship.
Anyway, I'm just wondering what softwares I should get myself familiar with before I start my course?
I have Photoshop and inDesign already, any others? Be reasonable here though as design softwares are not cheap, please only suggest the important ones.
I want to be able to recreate my wrestling team's photos to look like the main photo on www .CaelSanderson.com (shown below)... I have been able to remove the backgrounds and make it look like a black and white image in the background and the main subject is color, but do not know how to give it a blue hue similar to the main image on the website. Any suggestions?
So I am a self taught photoshopper and I had a friend ask me to do cover art for his next album. He's just a small time local artist and had the pretty generic idea of a photo mosaic of his face made up of other pictures, but I don't believe in doing poor quality work. I'm a little lost on how to go about this project though. I know that I have to place photos of the same color on his face to build it up but I'm not sure how to start. All I can find for tutorials on the subject either use the same photo over and over or use overlay or something to make the photos appear to be the right color when they aren't actually. Or people just use software to do it for them. Can anyone help with either tips or a link to a tutorial or anything about how to organically make a photo mosaic in photoshop. I don't want to use software because he wants to make money off his album and I don't want to step on copyright infringements and I also think it looks stiff. Any tips??
Hey guys, I've been looking around online for hours now trying to find the design on this shirt. I want to put it on a hoodie for myself, but I haven't been able to find anything close to it. Now, I understand that I'm new here and I'm not even expecting a reply, but I guess it's worth a shot.
The Design:
The closest looking astronaut portrait I could find:
The closest looking mickey mouse head (I would like the eyes colored in like the vintage style + the red tongue):
The mickey mouse hands in the design would be a plus but I don't know if anyone would do it.
If anyone is able/willing to do this, very very much appreciated. Thank you!
Hello Everyone,
I need detailed information on the field of graphic design WITHOUT any overly negative or positive remarks. Information needed on salary ranges, housing costs, job description, requirements, etc.
I would HIGHLY appreciate some helpful answers.
Thanks You.
