When is assignment 3 due?

moments. January 13th, 2009 2:55 PM

Well I am not putting a due date on them as people will always be running late anyways, so as soon as possible would be good. Try not to dawdle as well, we need to keep moving.
Also I will be away for 2 days so I cannot rate while I am away but when I come back I am happy to.

..PandA.CharadE.. January 14th, 2009 6:11 AM

I'll be away till the 21st just so you guys know.

Ascaris January 14th, 2009 10:53 AM

Er... .noxious, is it too late to join this class?

Kalseng January 15th, 2009 3:33 PM

Erm, yes, this is my take on the assignment. I don't really have any opinions on it, except for that its somewhat bright, and that I messed up the flow. But yeah, anyways.

Tyrantrum January 17th, 2009 10:08 AM

Here's something I whipped up in a few minutes.
(I know it might not be that good...)

The effect to his right, what exactly is it? It looks ok, but I can't make out what it is and what it is doing there but it does make it look a little less empty.
The text is quite ew. First of all, it should be several sizes smaller. Next it should be a dark brown color stolen from the gun on the render. Finally, it should follow the path of flow instead of staying right in the middle of it without contributing.
I don't really like the border, but if you made it a px thicker and made it white it may look cool.

Well this is a really nice concept and it actually makes a really nice Photomanipulation as opposed to a tag but nevertheless. I think the render could've been made smaller. For the style you used here, you could have made it smaller or left it the same but I would've made it smaller. The forest in the background is very nice use ofa stock to create scenery. The light source is very nice and looks like it is coming down through the trees. Kudos to you! As a general rule, try to avoid the default Photoshop brushes. It looks okay in this piece, but generally they stink so try and download some new ones if you are lost for brushes. The orange leaves near the render are great while the fading green ones to the left are pretty poor... I don't think the smudging is necessary as this is more a Photomanip than a tag so fancy effects are not really needed. The little red sparkles are nice though although there may be too many of them.

Alrighty, firstly the render I gave you really doesn't look all to good if you can only see her head. By leaving her body in the tag or at least some of it, you can utilize the flow a lot easier and use effects a lot easier.
Again Signor Pichu-Kun, brushing over the focal is a no go! Erase some brushing over he face and maybe some on her hair, it is distracting.
The background is lacking I'm afraid. Putting a brown canvas and bushing randomly over the top really never looked good I'm afraid. Try erasing all the brushing and toying around with some smudging and C4D's if you are feeling brave.

Can I tell you can brushing randomly over the entire banner using default brush presets never worked... If you erase all the brushing and try some smudging of copies of the render, it would look nicer.
I see you are the only one who played around using brightness and contrast so props, but you went a tad overboard. Make her a little less bright. :x


Ok everybody good work on your assignments, I am adding a new rule... Yes another one..
When you post your completed assignment or even a remake/ revamp after my rating, please, PLEASE post which assignment you are posting. If it is an update, put like "Assignment #3 Update 2" or something...
When the assignments get indistuinguishable between each other, I don't want to have to go asking and sorting through stuff to find which one you completed.

Ezzo! January 18th, 2009 4:28 PM

I'll be done with my assignment soon. xD
I hate the render though, I experimented a lot, and all my outcomes fail. Haha, I'll have it done though. Sorry for the wait. :X

moments. January 18th, 2009 4:38 PM

No problems, we are still waiting on a few more people so you are not the last person or anything..

Decypher January 18th, 2009 11:25 PM

Ok, I found a tutorial on clipping masks after all.

So, heres assignment number 2:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/assignment2sigcopy.png

Its not my best sig, but it is using a technique I've never used before.

Hopefully I didn't do too badly. xD

Pikachu Trainer~ January 19th, 2009 9:16 AM

Heres my try at Assignment #3, I used Aizuke's most recent tutorial to create it.

Pretty cool tag although it is very sort of repetitive. When I said to use a style you have never used, I meant just to include an example of it in your tag but what you did is good.
The text is nice and the placement of the render is also good, while the effects are very obvious. I don't really like how you stretched out her head but not the rest of her body so it seems unbalanced.
Then the little black section to the right is very bland considering it is very close to the focal. Try adding some smudges in there to fill the gap while not drawing attention away from the focal.

The maing concern in thi stag are the colours. They seem flushed and a bit cloudy especially over the render, and the background is looking very dark and not very sharp. I think what it needs is a bit more contrast. An easy way to do this which looks good is to 'Apply Image' then go to Filter >> Other >> High Pass. Put it on 10px and the tag should go all icky and grey. Then put that layer on layer setting 'Soft Light' and it should make some nice contrast.

Decypher January 19th, 2009 4:50 PM

Hmmm, ok, I purposely added the black section to the right, but you're the teacher so, I'll make the changes now.

moments. January 19th, 2009 4:52 PM

It doesn't need a lot, just a bit of smudging as it goes from Focal to pitch black with little of anything. SO after the eyes see the focal they see emptiness right near it.

Well, I don't know what C4D's are. :|
I know it isn't as good as everyone else's.
Plus, it didn't take long.

Maybe another tutorial would help. :3

moments. January 19th, 2009 5:01 PM

What would you like a tutorial on Pichu-Kun?
Actually there is a good one in the Tutorials Thread here by Aizuke which should be on the last page or the one before. It is the tutorial Pikachu Trainer~ used so if you like that banner you could try one for yourself.

Tyrantrum January 19th, 2009 5:05 PM

That is a nice tutorial, and the outcome is great, but I would like to learn about C4D's.

moments. January 19th, 2009 5:08 PM

C4D's can be tricky to use but have very nice outcomes if done correctly.
I know Evilcheese made a tutorial, lemme go find it!

Here it is. Use it wisely.. :)

Decypher January 19th, 2009 5:13 PM

Ok, are either of these better?

If theres to much of a change let me know.

Much better Decypher! I like the one where the splatters are all blue instead of black. Now it doesn't look all too blank and has some flow now.
I think another thing you could do would be to add some depth, simply sharpen the focal points and blur the rest. Don't blur or sharpen too much, just a bit.

Decypher January 19th, 2009 11:21 PM

Ok, heres assignment number 3:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff67/Craig_WM/assignment3copy.png

(Best viewed not on a white background)

How'd I go?

Renyui! January 19th, 2009 11:31 PM

Oh noxious, just butting in, that style that PT used in the Aizuke tut is meant to have borders like that.
*flees*

moments. January 20th, 2009 12:58 AM

ROFL Vivaa, Get out of my classroom! I think it would look better with a different border, no offense to Aizuke's tutorial or anything but I don't like it on that tag.
