Hi hi. So I guess Im the first one to introduce myself. Anyways what Im good at, hmm lets see, graphic designing, webdesigning and Im alright with photo manipulation. I guess Im here for tips on Paint Shop Pro and to help other people who have problems with HTML or whatever.
| |
I've been doing HTML since '95, but have been pretty out of practice in recent years (although I'm trying to get a better handle on css, my first instincts are still for tables). I know enough photoshop and paint shop pro to get by (and keep meaning to learn to use gimp properly), but I'm no artist. I've got some knowledge of javascript, xml, and php, so might be able to help with those, but I'm probably best with server-side perl and mysql. My great weakness is graphical design. I've got a pretty good head for information organization and layout, but I can't pick a color scheme without causing a gag reflex in everyone who looks at it. Right now I'm mainly trying to get myself into the XHTML/CSS mindset and set things up cleanly.

Whooho. I meant to post an advertisment for this forum in the UE photography thread. But I've been busy. Why I'm not posting one now, and instead writing this message is unclear even to me. Anyways, thanks for showing up.

Damn! Only 9? Shit...I don't think I could handle nine. I'm barely un-lazy enough to deal with 5. hehehehe I do a lot CGI work as well as just all around graphic work...that's about it really.

Yeaaah.... I'm O.K. with HTML, dabble with CSS, and suck at graphics(photoshop, Paint shop pro, and so forth)

Neat. I'm a professional screen printer, so I can appreciate the effort that must go into that stuff. I like it.

hey thanks can't say that I have a goal, definite market, or direction in mind I just make what I like and with my experiments in school it all seems to be coming together a screen printer for the garment industry? what sort of screen printer? at school we do alot of registered prints (which are getting more complicated as we advance) and alot of repeat patterns for yardage but my favourite is open screen printing on 2 metre by 3 meter wide screens I kind of stumbled onto it and get the craziest effects then print over top with actual silk-screen images I'm all about large scale mural and pushing silkscreen into the art realm here's another

Good to see I have plenty of peeps who can help me with html. Well, where do I start. I graduated from art school in 1993. We did everything by hand - computers really had not taken over yet. We were cutting mechanicals by hand, illustrating by hand, and doing sets of 30-40+ thumbnails - with out google. I have a lot of publication experience, newspapers, magazines. I was art director for Relapse Records in the mid 90s, then art director for a local monthly bar scene rag. I then went on my own, freelanced for lots of ad agencies, and started teaching night classes and substituting during the day at a Vo-tech school. I now teach there fulltime. The main thrust of my career experience lies in print media. Only recently I have started learning web stuff. I have used photoshop since the first version, and I learned Illustrator using the '88' version. I am really dating myself here. I really like teaching, but my students are a bunch of non-motivated, lazy as hell, gotta-hold-there-hand kids. I am working on towards my masters so I can teach post-secondary. Seems like that will be WAAAY more rewarding. Anyhow, my software know-how includes QuarkXpress, Photoshop, Illustrator. These I know very well. My limited experience includes Macromedia stuff, GoLive, and many other misc apps. I also know Reason (music production) pretty well. I also know a handful of video editing apps.

"let me sniff it out" is somehow better and conjures an equally strange but more beleivable image I am going to achool with those lazy as hell students you mentioned in your previous email I am not sure a masters will be the cure all for eliminating those sorts of students from your life, though it will weed out some strangely even though they are paying for their education they still slack off I found that (although I am on my second degree and umpteen years in post-secondary education) that very few teachers are inspiring not to say you aren't but I think each student has a specific learning style and many teachers have an instructional style this WILL clash I like a teacher that does demos and shows some books for inspiration and says "go to it" and expects ALOT I want a challenge if you show you are an easy marker and have a low standard of expectation students will latch onto that quickly my favourite teachers bring poetry into glassblowing (for example), show how life relates to your subject matter and more than anything show that they have an active life outside schoollife my two cents

That's pretty much my style. The hardest part of that, though, is getting creative ideas out of some of the kids–like squeezing milk out of a lemon, only thing you get is sourness. I have oodles of great resources, like years of Communication Arts, Print, Art Director, and other various source-type books. If you can't get a few ideas from a half hour with one those, pffft, forget it. And it's not like I don't do fun projects, stuff like movie poster design, CD packaging, mini ad campaigns, TV commercial (PSAs), tons of photoshop, illustrator, and layout app projects, to name a few. We also watch Photoshop TV once a weeek.
