The other day Castle made the mistake of asking inquired about the construction of the Uranuary Random Thread graphic. Since I couldn’t think of a short answer and because everyone else runs and hides when I talk about this stuff and there was the chance that some explanation might be useful to those MuseBloggers who do graphics, I thought I’d try this method of providing a few details. Click on the image below to see the large version.
Let me know if this is useful or if anything is unclear.
Now I know I need Illustrator and Lightroom…
Very cool! This is currently the background for my nook.
Right. Excellent. Thanks much! I think Illustrator might have come with my
let’s call it a bundlecopy of Photoshop. Let me check.…No luck. I own Photoshop CS5 and After Effects. I had a brief stint with AE during which I made lots of portals and muzzle flares and not much else, but I’m really into Photoshop right now. What I need is a Wacom tablet and Illustrator. I’m fairly sure I can get whatever effects I need without Lightroom, though.
Thank you again. I’ll be sure to come pester you again when I need more info on graphic design.
Awesome work, Lady B!
Oh man. I was going to like this before I remembered it wasn’t something really cool on facebook. Illustrator is my favorite of all the Adobe artsy softwares, mostly because Photoshop scares me quite a bit. But nice job!!
