    Having doubts about GD, input greatly appreciated!

    Oh man - I wish I was still 28... *sigh* Tedster if you stick to your guns and make a go of what you want to achieve you can - take the knocks and go with the flow and learn as you do so. Like Dave L (I agree with everything he has said above) I was made redundant, hit depression and spent 3...

    How long should a designer take on designing an artwork?

    In my experience, these days - designers - if you are worth paying for, you are required to be marketing professionals as well as designers - if you can take what they want and make it into a marketing campaign that brings in customers without the need for a marketing professional's advice, you...

    Anyone else as worried about this as I am?

    MacStrategy > Blog Posting > Apple's Lion is out of the cage, so where to now for Apple? (18 August 2011) (made the important bits bold) I can't bare the thought of possibly having to design on a PC in the future because as a Graphic Designer I am now considered a minority in Apple's user base...

    Font inconsistency on the ipad

    Not that I am an expert... but have to checked whether the font version is postscript or truetype? The latest operating systems for Mac don't recognise one of them (can't remember which one right now and would have to research it...). Saying this - I have no idea about anything regarding the...

    Ageism in graphics

    lol you don't need a nurse YellowPeril and there is nothing harder than boosting one's self esteem after a few knocks. I am 40 with 20 years of experience and I feel over the hill - it took me a while to get back on my feet after a bad redundancy almost a decade ago and I 100% honestly do not...

    Help...how do I stop the black lines in Photoshop

    Looks like a bad clipping path job to me as it shows a bit on the high res version too - usually when doing a clipping path, you need to click slightly into the image you are clipping to exclude the background completely.

    Photoshop operators needed

    If it helps - I have done the tasks required and they were pretty easy (even for an old bird that is a bit rusty) - it does seem to be genuine. Time will tell obviously when the work comes in and how it is managed in the long run, but there doesn't appear to be anything to lose by trying. One...

    Adobe CS5.5?

    A little while ago, my mac techie told me not to look to upgrading to CS5 until Acrobat X was incorporated into it (or else you cough up extra for Acrobat as a separate package...). Apparently the X version of Acrobat is incorporated in 5.5 and is meant to overcome a lot of the high-res pdf...

    Help with Ninja Logo

    You could go for a more chinese-looking font in keeping with your ninja theme, but you will have to make sure it is legible and in sync with your heavy/solid graphic style. I actually like what you have there already by the way - maybe minus the drop shadow on the wording.... 30 Useful and Free...

    Low blow from a job agency

    Hi graphicbreeze I was going to send you a private message rather than post on the forum, as I feel that some of the comments that you have received are a lot more negative than they need to be, hardly encouraging... but I changed my mind, as maybe it might help someone else looking to tackle...
