Hello!
 
My name is Alex and I'm putting together a tutorial/designs team! I'm looking for members to produce high quality content, leadership, maturity, and knowledge.
 
This program is just getting started and we could take this to the top!
 
For more information, please contact me! (All major information will be provided once a foundation is set for this team/group.)

Would look good above the baby's cot...oh hang on: I don't have one :P.
 
I've got a pair of teens, can you do thunder clouds instead? LOL.

Hah, interesting take on the old egg gallery. I like it. 

Hi all
 
Its been a while since I posted any work and I was wanting to make another custom icon for a device I plug into my computer again: this time my "Sony IC Recorder" voice recorder.
 
I wasn't able to match the fonts exactly, but it looks good enough for me (especially when its resized really small when used as an icon!). I did find the advanced font adjustments useful at getting "close" to the originals. I was also quite happy with how easy it was to give the rounded effect on the top and the bottom of the device by simple adding more points to a gradient and moving them around until I got a convincing shading. 
 
I also took the opportunity to make a custom style for the LCD display, so now if I want one, I just click once and all the works already done! :)
 
Hope you like it :)

Your brother has good taste....  don't fight fate.  ;)

We're talking about this currently - I'm sure we can get something working for you guys soon :)

Great post Peter. So fun :)

Hi all,
 
I've just been sent this little link: about a group of today's Photoshoppers, who were asked to use PS Version 1.0 and see how the slimline software started off.
 
http://petapixel.com/2015/03/12/watch-as-photoshop-experts-try-their-hand-at-the-original-photoshop-1-0/
 
This should be a trip down memory lane for some and a history lessons for others. (Win XP/Mac OS 9.22 and Photoshop 6.0 for my first taste.)
 
But more importantly, this a lesson for the APh detractors. There are plenty of things missing right now/on the roadmap.
 
So go easy on the app's limitations: it's STILL useable and that's what matters B). So for a Beta, it's still better (Than PS V1.0) :ph34r:

Just think... hilarious! I started on APh 2.0...Amazing how far we've come?!
 
You'll be saying that sooner than you think: aah them were the days...

Brian

You guys were right... I found four fonts that had spaces between its name that was making the dropdown behave like that huge width. Thanks a lot!

Very nice! And congrats on getting an Eggy from Peter! :)

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway.
 
WOW!
 
That deserves an Eggy. Pinned it!

hi to all,

I'm John and I've been a professional user of Photoshop since the day that Windows 95 was released. Have worked also for two developers of plug-ins for Photoshop, most recently on this one: http://postworkshop.net/. And am currently a member of Adobe's Pre-Release team (the Photoshop CC and ACR beta test crew - jeez, maybe that's supposed to be a secret ...).
 
Anyways, I'm really impressed with Designer and very encouraged by the Photo beta. I think that's it's vital, for good commercial uptake, for Serif/Affinity to aim really high with both applications. And to keep ease-of-use in the forefront of the development goals. It's clear that a lot of new users of Illustrator and Photoshop - particularly since the introduction of the $9.99 per month plan for the latter - are struggling with the learning curve(s). I've become interested in developing automated "helpers" for Photoshop, in the form of Actions there. So, I'm hoping that whatever problems the Macro Persona in Photo has encountered, that they can be fixed soon.
 
More news and views later ... go Affinity, GO!

Great list, I'll be watching this, I'm also a web designer transitioning from Sketch to AD and am loving it so far!

This was  hilarious to watch! OmG I forgot how horrible it was back then hahahaha!
