Working hard to finish my blog post on time, Going live this week! :giggle: It's starting to look like I'm writing a book about interactives, 3d graphics, cgi, vr, games, animations and computers!

And yes!! Part 3 is just freshly published in both English as well as in Dutch! Hope you like it! In the end there will be 6 parts in total. Collect them all ! This time a very interesting time period with a lot of technical graphics innovations, a steady foundation of 3D graphics, techniques...

Can't give you much advise on this, as I'm using Wacom Intuos 4 with a lot of pleasure for years now and never looked for something else. Although for illustration work I like to buy a systom to draw directly on a tablet with screen instead. But I never missed it really as I'm doing a lot of...

Hard to tell without the PSD to view. According to your screenshot it looks like you didn't rasterized the texts so left them editable, which is probably what they want. Not sure what they could miss still. Did you send the fonts with the document? It could be they need all elements, like the...

I went through the sticky list and a lot of those website seem to be taken over by getty images. They are becoming pretty large

I like the first one better, but it's difficult/expensive for using in print, so I would adjust the shape of the first one to make it more suitable for printing

Oh my God!! My Christmas machine is hopelessly stuck!! Will you be able to keep Santas Factory running? Try it yourself! :) Santa's Factory Interactive (English) Santa's Factory Interactive (Dutch) All graphics of this Interactive Christmas Card are happily created with Affinity Designer...
