I just made them bigger... I found a site which said it gave the correct dimensions, but it didn't really work for me. The ones that looked best to me which were much larger.

I figured it out. Typical.

Hahah - just noticed my av on here is the same... :(

This is so frustrating as I have managed to do this previously, and I really can't figure out what I'm doing wrong this time. OK - I have some vector work in Ai that I'm happy with and I want to update a twitter avatar / header with part of the vector, but when I save for web, and try to use...

ahh, sorry :D The analogue type, actual paper, for walls.

Anyone know any good sites for wallpaper designs? I'm just using Google at the minute, but it'd be nice to have a look at some independent designers maybe???Cheers

I've just started my 2nd year on the Open University Design and Innovation degree, and I'm loving it. I'm hoping this will lead to a job on the creative sector at some point. It's an Arts pathway so will focus on visual comms at some point, but at the minute there's quite a bit about design...

I'm doing Design & Innovation with the OU at the minute, and I'm constantly being told that I'm not uploading enough sketches. I know that this is just to show my work and stuff, but I generally don't sketch too much. I keep a couple of books for general doodling and getting basic ideas down...

I'm so using this.

I'm just using Illustrator - but I haven't really tweeked any settings - should really learn to use it properly :D So little time...

Just remembered a book called 'It's not how good you are, it's about how good you want to be' Bit of a mouthful, and a little self help - but good nonetheless - Think Paul Rand wrote it...

I have a book by Alan Fletcher called 'The Art of thinking Sideways'. It doesn't reference design in great details - it's just a massive reference book of creativity you can dip into every now and again. I've also seen a film called 'Beautiful Losers' which is very inspiring. It's speaks to...

Interesting to hear your thoughts on InDesign - I'll definitely have to do some research into it - Thanks for posting:)
