To all you graphic designers / illustrators out there...

did this get sorted? Livetrace in illy is not bad for quick bits these days.

use rhino. its like the MS paint of all 3d programs. easy to use.
add vray and its like photoshop. proper bo.

i have some real roses you can trace around ?

GIMP is a free prog u can download that is like photoshop, a bit clunkier but does the job

thanks for all the suggestions, some plonker at work has lost/not left a note of the user password for the comp. so cannot install anybloodything.

still not solved, i have a flat photoshop image i need to raise/lift/twist etc, like on the google app. but it won't work importing my image.

anyone got any other apps?

can't use gimp, no x11

If you want a hand with that PM me with what you want doing and you can email over the image and I can work on it later when i'm back home and send it back to you tomorrow, how big is the file?

murts, can't you warp the image in photoshop or do you need to extrude or wrap like a texture?

repost.

Ha, but funny and true!
I had never seen it before.

need a 3D program, any ideas?

If you ask nicely, I might be able to burn you a copy of the copy of solidworks I blagged off the school.

"are you going to do it in microsoft word?" fucking brilliant.

no sorry.

I've been asked to make a poster as a favour, but design skills ain't my strongest. Just knocked this up, wondered if you have any suggestions to improve it. Or if you think you can knock up a better one there is beer in it for you.

Don't mix centrally aligned type and flush right, rag left if you can avoid it

en dash instead of hyphen please!
(it's the little things that do it for me)

agreed - and probably worth making the times a bit smaller so you get get it on one line

Don't stretch/squash bits of text - use an extended (or condensed) font ("PRINT SIGNING") (or just leave it at its normal height - would look fine I think)

I'm in the process of setting up a new company and need a logo I can use across templates on the website etc. to help form a brand identity. There's no money in it as such but I'm offering to swap skills with you. I'm a writer (copywriter) for advertising and marketing and often work with designers/art directors helping them and their clients with concepts or creating written content, headlines, straplines, etc..

The company name is:

Content

And we'll be creating written content for all forms of marketing and advertising both on and offline. If any of LFGSS's dazzling designers would like to have a crack at this please reply here or PM me for more details. Thanks :)
