Thanks, The_Giant_Bloomers! Yup, I agree. It is an unfortunate truth that there not many female tech engineers in this industry, in fact, there isn't one in my clients office, but I forced one into the illustration to show some sort of female representation especially due to the title. How can you have Excellence and not have a female involved somewhere in the mix?
With the amount of females using this tech: phones, tablets, social media, webcams and selfies. It's quite amazing that they haven't embraced the development side of this brave new world.
Who is to blame? Schools, recruiters, parents, Ad men, the press, television, glossy magazines or the girls themselves?

Welcome back Ronnie,
How about giving the central character a subtle glow? As if he is something special. As for the faces, where's the stubble (Me/MEB/rui_mac) or the beards (retrograde) to name a few?
How about a red background and a green banner?

Hi folks, I took this photo of a partial solar eclipse: from my place at 8:15 am, a few years ago, half awake I was and yet somehow after getting about 27 pictures, this was one was the one that surprised me. I never saw the bird through the screen.
I haven't edited it at all.
Any ideas how to improve this? Does it need tweaking at all? All comments welcome.

Hi Malcolm
Well done ! Certainly a good way to show how serious AD can be in the professional world.
Did you import all your Illustrator files and convert them or did you start from scratch ?
Hope Affinity gets a mention, in the credits!

Wow!
You could cheat, by using jpegs of metal and marble, then Paste inside.
I've seen this before, with sunsets and it works a treat!

Hello!
I just began on this new application and I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I am sure that when I get some fundamental basics out of the way, I can refer to other tutorials for further detail.
This may sound stupid, but I cannot figure out how to fill color into the objects I create or how to properly snap loose points together. Those are the only two things I have run into trouble with so far.
Does anybody have a link to a basic tutorial or a reply on how to find and use the fill tool?
Try this link...

Hi imacken,
What you are talking about is the missing pasteboard area. This is on the roadmap; so it's just a case of sit-and-wait.
Until then you can press command + a, or Select>Select all. It's not perfect, but it's all we've got for now.

That's great!

+1 for justwilliam's post. You have created a style that you can be proud of! A beach scene from the same vantage point, would go down a treat.
The layering trick worked a treat. There is a distinct difference between fore, mid and backgrounds. Clever use of black to start off with BTW.
Which layer did you do first? Is this image from real life? The boats look very tactile and the nets look touchable.
Well done.

You're right! This was never meant to be taken the wrong way. It's referring to an often used quote, that I'd just read this article below.
This come from the Steve jobs quote (and others, Picasso?)
What Steve Jobs really meant when he said 'Good artists copy; great artists steal'Apple's Bud Tribble: "If you take something and make it your own ... it's your design and that is the dividing line between copying and stealing. That is part of Apple's DNA."
Think Andy Warhol and a certain tin of soup.
Inventors do it all the time, copy mother nature's designs. Just like the AT-ATs in Star Wars, which resemble elephants/camels. Aeons of Beta testing and no copywriting issues.
This is a quote from
http://www.innovationexcellence.com/blog/2014/09/08/great-innovators-steal/
Maxine Horn says:An interesting article and of course the headline Great Innovators steal was just an attention grabber.
Great Innovators ‘stand of the shoulders of giants’ – a quote arguably attributed to Issac Newton.Innovators might steal from many (be influenced /inspired by and connect new dots) but never steal from one. Meaning it is not innovative to copy the work of one person but taking unrelated influences from many different sources and applying new logic to create an entirely new solution in a different sector or circumstance is using many influences, new intelligence, knowledge and know how to innovate.
The article puts the argument across extremely well and helps to differentiate between influence and inspiration and that of ‘stealing’ work from others.

Standing on the shoulders of giants. Is a much better quote.

What's art without plagiarism? Sometimes, you have to use other people's work. Given them credit/a mention is always honourable.

The whole point of 'Save for Web' is to optimise images for the web by removing a lot of useless metadata from the images like camera model, time, white balance, etc. This reduces image file size dramatically making it optimal for a web designers and developers.
This needs to be in the first APh manual.

And to think this was cutting edge once. Where have all those years gone?
