Awesome microphone video.
If we are going to talk about stone masons, carpenters, painters and the like; then we are in the realms of cathedral building. Simple tools, i.e. single tasks can produce amazing works. this 3D software reminds me of a 64 pipe organ, looks easy, sounds easy but really gets the grey cells working overtime all produced by a very sophisticated piece of kit.
And we all love the undo command (command z).

Nice layup - try setting the blend mode of the logo layer to "Lighten" to automagically blend it in nicely with the shirt :)

Automagically - new word or typo?

For some reason, I thought that these were book covers from the 1980's. Both contain the same identity, just like a prequel and sequel. The second image shows much more development and depth...which is what you would expect from part two. Love the starburst on the 'E'.

You may have missed it, but the people carrier in the picture above is a Ford Galaxy :D :D :D

What a few weeks you've had...the best of times; the worst of times. No matter how bad you feel about being orphaned, having your nerves settled and ego inflated makes it all worth while (Love to see the outcome and hear all about it, what did YOU learn?).
Take the time out, reboot, rethink and return recharged. Can't wait to work with ya buddy!
All the best.

PS like the Instagram thing...draw a squiggle, gain an eejit! Pure genius, Edward de bono would approve, as do I!
A couple of WIPS by Chris Van Cleve in Share your work, look for it this way and #7 is the post in question. To Quote Chris
LOL No relation there. Dwarf vs Scotsman. Speaking of which, there's Renaissance Faire duo that travels around named the Drunken Scotsmen. They do a golf bit and their logo uses a similar picture to your avatar, retrograde.
As for coloring, I figured I would have to leave the current as the top layer. It's the shapes beneath I'm niggling about. Sometimes I can see it, other times I fail miserably. I'll get there though.

At work, I have the details for a website (similar to Friday Free Ads, Loot etc), if you want I'll post the details next week, for the two big US airbases next week.

You should coco!
How did the school visit go at the end of January? Hope they were gentle with you. :D

Hi George,
here's another one for you...
Disclaimer, I don't have a dog, nor am I affiliated to Vets-now. I just liked the look of their page and the sliding chocolate/dog weight scale...very reassuring when speaking to the vet.
I'm in two minds about the title; as a I now reckon Cocoa the canine killer is much more dynamic...do you think this is better?

@peter, I was unaware of this type of car sticker, certainly food for thought.
Well, now that you know there is a market for your talents: why not knock up a few samples and put them on your (friends or family's) vehicle and include a web link underneath? This hasn't reached/saturated Blighty yet and there are plenty of US military bases in the UK (pre made potential customers).

Thank you - will stop experimenting for a bit! Will keep an eye out - wish there were courses out there.
There are:

- as for the others, I won't give you the links, as I want you to trawl this forum, make friends and have fun.
But if you use the search bar and look for The Pumpkin Tutorial, ronniemcbride (this is a paid for course), vimeo videos for starters: then you should be up to speed in no time.
HTH

Well done on what you have produced.
Oh yeah nice pic an' all. In a (Ford) Galaxy, far, far away...Pinned it!
There is a craze in the US of putting stickers, in the rear windows of how many family members are in that brood wagon and family. You've got a great brand identity here.
In space no one can hear you scream: but in the nursery, you can always wear earplugs :P

Great work lad. This just needs a barcode, price and issue date.
Roll on Publisher.
Do not abandon this project. It's looking good so far.

All part of the service! B)
Is the Heal tool on the road map yet?

Now that's really funny!

I've just had a week's holiday getting rid of a cold shared between me and my other half :angry:

Duh, How could I have a Wolf and not have a mammal of the Felidae family. Hahaha! Yes, David you must play there is some really great potential in here that really gets me excited about AP Beta!
Hey! Did you see that? A cat called MattP crept in, then back out again :ph34r: :P

Had a few dicey health issues. Will attend to these things when I'm feeling better.
Get well soon Mike.

If everything was in the same UI, can you imagine the time/focus/attention you would have to spend to identify/pick the correct tools and panels?
Some tools only make sense in a particular environment. If we included them all in the same UI, other tools would be completely out of context. You would end with an interface crowded with buttons/functions useless for the task at hand.
Personas help to avoid this, displaying only the tools adequate to their main function.
Besides there's probably even more Personas coming which would make things even worst...
Here comes the analogy: when working on paper you keep the pencils in one tin, the pastels in another. Then in a different area, you would have the liquids i.e paints, masking fluid, easel(?) and jar of muddy water. Now you wouldn't expect the pencil sharpener to be in the tin of acrylics, would you?
So in a nutshell; you have wet and dry areas and that helps to keep things organised...well that's the theory anyway.
BTW, I do know about watercolour based pencils.

hahahaha! Peter you and I can go all day with these antics hahahahaha!

It happens to me a lot. Forgetting what I was going to d...
I think this calls for AD to appear in print. It's nice to thumb through paper, instead of scrolling through screen content. Plus it looks good, on the shelf, reading on the bus etc.
