My graphics are where I'd like you to touch [CME's Home Room]
 
Welcome to
My graphics are where I'd like you to touch [CME's Home Room]!

a place where the sexiest tag-makers come to do nothing learn!
So... here's the lowdown on my style. I'm not like people that just slap renders on and call it down. No. That's gross and bad. I'm going to be a major graphic design. I've been published. I've been honored by my art department as the best graphics art student in the school (you want proof?). I've been hand selected by the MFA to be in our high school art book. I know my stuff. Yeah, you could say I'm pretty good. So my style? It changes. I can do different things. I'm what they call versatile. Basically: You're in with some good stuff.

[assignMENTS]
Assignment #1:


After applying for a job at a famous art, fashion, and pop culture magazine company,
you have been selected as one of the top few finalists to receive the last position in the company.


The managers and CEOs of the company are not sure how to pick the last employee.
You're very nervous, yet excited because this is a big position. Corporate Executive Manager over Design and Fashion. It certainly pays, big.

The higher ups finally decided how to pick the true person fit for the job. They decided that each
of the final applicants, will have to turn in a Large Piece (LP). They are to design this piece with the
theme based on one of the four seasons, winter, summer, spring, and autumn and try to express the feeling you most enjoy or get, or in fact, just the feeling that just says "winter" or "spring", etc., during the season you chose. E.g.: Hot cocoa and ice skating on Christmas Eve.


This assignment will be due: January 10, 2009



Assignment #2

For this assignment, your resources will be cut off. That's right. For this assignment, you will not be able to use brushes or renders. This assignment is meant to test how well you perform when your resources are cut. You may use any canvas size you like, however, you must use this stock. Good luck!

This assignment will be due: January 14, 2009

The list should be in alphabetical order, dear wonderful teacher. Michii should be first. DDDD<

Interesting assignment. I'm not too great at lp's, so this should be really good learning wise for me. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION :'D!!! What's the minimum/maximum size for this?

Renyui! January 2nd, 2009 10:36 PM

I think the names are colour coded. That way, I get to be sexiest >:-D

I too have a q/a. Is this an actual comp? I know it's a stupid question, but your assignment was so convincing. 8D

Zebra Thunderhead January 3rd, 2009 6:09 AM

The piece should be around or larger than 500 x 300.

A competition? No. This is just to see how creatively you think. Well, it's not going to be treated like a competition, although I worded it that way to get you to try and think more creatively than your other peers here.

Also, welcome Tiny and Aurapostle to the fun! And I didn't put the names up in specific order, it was just the order noxious had in his thread. XD

Tiny January 3rd, 2009 7:59 AM

Hiya o:
Uh question.. can the lp include more than one season or just one?

Hopefully that answers your question.

About how much larger are you accepting it?

Why thank you! I'll do my best to learn how to color evilly. :3

Zebra Thunderhead January 3rd, 2009 10:07 AM

I don't have size restrictions (yet). Why limit creativity when the purpose is to see how creatively you think?

Also, I changed the deadline to Jan. 10. I don't feel like waiting 2 weeks. |:

moments. January 3rd, 2009 12:40 PM

Signing up for CME's class just to see how I go. I guess I will start the assignment now!

Zebra Thunderhead January 4th, 2009 7:12 AM

I should mention, you can post your assignments here.

Someday, I'll Find My Place In This World

My piece was on the season where the meaning of the word 'cold' really does emphasize.
I'm talking about winter, ladies and gentleman.
I've titled this piece "Someday, I'll Find My Place In This World" for several reasons.
During the winter, I think about a lot of things. It's my only time to really sit back and go into
a deep state of thought.
I always feel as though I need to search for myself whenever winter hits.
Most people enjoy times with their families; Most enjoy going out and spending time with their friends and having fun;
Me? My room is my world.


Tiny January 5th, 2009 5:35 PM



its pretty big o.o

Zebra Thunderhead January 10th, 2009 4:23 AM

Okay noobs. Today's the day to turn your assignments in if you haven't already. Rockets has dropped out of the class cause we're clearly too sexy for him. Honestly though, I didn't think this would take that long.

Aha, yes... guilty as charged with the not-sexy-enough and whatnot. It's just that exams are in a couple weeks and I sorta think that, y'know, my education is a little more important than this. I knew I wasn't going to be able to finish assignments on time, so instead of ask for extra time, I just decided to drop out. Was fun while it lasted, CME. (Y)

Zebra Thunderhead January 11th, 2009 8:37 AM

Well, yesterday was the last day to post assignments, and I still only got two. Unfortunately for Vivaa, Michii, and Aurapostle, that means you will be demoted to the Intermediate class (ironically Vivaa's) until you learn to apply yourself and get stuff done. This demotion will last for 1 week. As for Ryusheika and Tiny, you can start on Assignment #2!

Assignment #2

Tiny January 11th, 2009 11:03 AM

so basically we can do anything to this stock as long as its made and done by ourselves?

Zebra Thunderhead January 11th, 2009 11:13 AM

Yeah. All you have to do is use that stock and not use any brushes or renders. You can manipulate the stock in any way.

Loki January 11th, 2009 6:27 PM

Can we use smudging? D: Cause it's kind of like... you use the brush shapes for smudging, so I'm not really sure if that'll count as a default tool or brushing.

Zebra Thunderhead January 11th, 2009 6:32 PM

You guys can smudge. I just don't want to see any slapped on brushes.

Loki January 11th, 2009 6:42 PM

My seasons assignment; even though I signed up late. :B

If anyone was curious, this is how I approached the first assignment.

Here's mine.

So it was unnecessary for you to post that as I'm not going to bring you back up until next week.

Loki January 12th, 2009 5:28 PM

Done.

http://i520.photobucket.com/albums/w326/zetsu-bou/haseonoresources.png

Used pentool for soft brushing, "light textures", and whatever else is interesting in there.

Zebra Thunderhead January 14th, 2009 5:28 PM

Anybody else going to submit their assignment?

Ryusheika January 14th, 2009 9:59 PM

I'm so sorry about turning this in so late. The last few days have been extremely busy and non-stop for me. I know it could be way better, but I just haven't had time to work on it. I'm sorry.

Tiny January 16th, 2009 6:56 AM

i wont be able to submit my assignment on time my internet is down and i dont have access to another computer with photoshop atm. Sorry I should get my internet back soon hopefully.

Zebra Thunderhead January 17th, 2009 8:52 PM

The assignments look great guys. Tiny, take your time. Get it done when you can.

In the mean time, I'm too lazy to come up with an assignment this week since I have finals, so feel free to post any tags/graphics here for some rates!

Tiny January 20th, 2009 9:47 PM

i usually dont use borders but i dunno i tried it with this

SHUT UP WOMAN I'VE BEEN BUSY BASKING IN MY BATH OF VICTORY

THIRTY-SIX January 30th, 2009 12:55 AM

This is assignment 1.

Was taken quickly… and lateral. xD

Assignment 2:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/munna170488/gallery/ass2.png

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/munna170488/gallery/ass2v1.png

V1 for you to also crit. Dx

Yea I don't spend much time on this kind of stuff any more…

Might redo… assignment 2. If I'm not feeling lazy. Wait would I be able to use Illustrator or is this for PS only?

Anyway I redid in PS.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/munna170488/gallery/next.png

There was way too much lighten on the other versions xD

Tiny January 30th, 2009 8:10 AM

im sure you can do stuff on other programs as long as you do postwork on ps
like how i made the text in c4d and then did everything else in ps
:]

Zebra Thunderhead February 6th, 2009 4:55 PM

Munna, for your question, you're welcome to use any program you like, I'm not going to be a PS-only nazi. Whatever you feel most comfortable with works.

Sorry for the delay on the assignment. No fancy text for this. The assignment is to make a tag/LP/wallpaper, whatever you like. But you will be desaturating + inverting your stock. Good luck!

Loki February 7th, 2009 10:08 PM

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7376/magnacartaassignmentlpxj3.png

Rawrrrr the invert didn't really turn out very well for me. And I just realized I have no foreground effects. :|

Zebra Thunderhead February 8th, 2009 5:30 AM

You can go back and edit, I didn't set a due date yet. :o

THIRTY-SIX February 9th, 2009 10:25 AM

I don't suppose you'd be kind enough to give me a render to work with? xP

Zebra Thunderhead February 9th, 2009 11:50 AM

http://xs134.xs.to/xs134/08013/15003691d7fc29a77f432f96fe6524.png

How's that?

THIRTY-SIX February 9th, 2009 12:02 PM

Hmm, that seems quite good, the face will have a nice dark grayscale.

Not too good with the anime stuff recently. Mainly because I've gone down the image manip route xD

Zebra Thunderhead February 9th, 2009 12:03 PM

Yes yes, time to get you out of that manip mind frame. :B

THIRTY-SIX February 9th, 2009 12:20 PM

I think I may imitate the style you posted in the graphics rating thread. xP

Zebra Thunderhead February 9th, 2009 12:26 PM

Go for it. XD I used some of my previously made tags in that (bits and pieces of course) one :o

THIRTY-SIX February 9th, 2009 12:33 PM

Oh thanks for the tip, From png or psd? xD

Zebra Thunderhead February 9th, 2009 12:38 PM

PNGs. If using the whole thing on certain settings, you get some cool effects rather than just individual renders/textures/etc.

THIRTY-SIX February 10th, 2009 2:25 AM

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/munna170488/gallery/invertcopy.png

Other stocks: 1, 2, 3

It kind of reminded me of those cut scenes from the 2d fighting games… I don't play them. It's what I remember from walking in on my brother playing on the ps1. Went overboard with the clipping masks. xD

Black&White

Another version that seemed to look ok at first. xD

Another version Black&White.

Zebra Thunderhead February 10th, 2009 3:25 AM

I think the black and white version wood look awesome if you cranked up B/C. :o
