I just tried moonshine. As soon as it went down my throat, I felt my brain cells dying. That stuff is strong. We put some on the sink, and it burned blue for a minute.... Now I have to go write a paper.

Power Hour mix to get drunk

Hows that paper coming along?

 

[Kid Chocolate]

Moonshine? That's for girls.

This is what real men drink.

HAHAH! I almost said that with a straight face.

That's cause you can't do anything straight

 

[GMJ]

Who drinks straight Disaronno? That's grim.

Not very well, I kinda decided to start power hour in the middle of it. So I have to start it today, cuz the deadline is Thursday.

I have to write a Personal Philosphy paper about Recreation and Leisure, their importance and how I will use them as a professional to provide programs.

I find it hilarious to see you guys talk about 14 year olds when my oldest son will be 10 in a couple of months.

 

[cpawfan]

I love when people use a phrase incorrectly and due to the situation (like them being your boss's boss) you can't correct them.

Today, someone tells my group, "You want to talk to X, he's got the 911 on the project"

 

[Chutney]

"...for all intensive purposes."

 

[pegs]

CALL 411!!

 

[Chutney]

411 is a joke in your town.

i hate people
we are doing a practice lock down at school tomorrow in case it happens sometime
and my 2nd and 4th periods were taken up by questions and situations about it, and everyone looked scared about every situation and most were pointless

my reply
"what happens if a guy goes invisible, goes through the door, eats a desk and poops on the floor, what do we do"
(class finally shuts up)
Me: YAY!!! everyones quiet

First thing I've seriously made in photoshop.

The text is shit because I had to fit it into 75x75
First, I made a selection of Peterson, copy pasted him as a new layer (keeping him on the background layer too). Blurred the background, added a red overlay to the background

 

[GMJ]

It's got potential. If you're going to keep it simple like that I'd concentrate on where I decide to blur (and sharpen?) rather than just applying it to the edges of the render. The text could use some pizazz. What does GM stand for?

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

I rushed the selection, which is why I blurred the edges of Peterson. I think I might burn the background.

Made it for someone on GLB, the GM of my team.

Resized to fit ridiculous constraints.

 

[GMJ]

I made some quick edits, but this is far from a completed job

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

That looks great, how did you do the lighting?

 

[GMJ]

Got it dark with a black/white gradient map on multiply (50% fill), then did a soft white brush on overlay, then curved the whole thing. The coloring are color balance layers, I think dark blue for shadows, dark green for midtones, and beige for highlights. then sharpening, blurring, then white text on overlay.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Oh, so you covered the background with a gradient, right?
How did you curve it?

 

[GMJ]

Layer ->Adjustment Layers

And then I did an S-type shape. You have to be very subtle when you're making the changes, and just see what looks the best.

 

[Master Shake]

Yea, exactly Jigga. I knew all that.

 

[panthersare#1]

Wow, we have some really good graphics people. GMJigga that was a sick photoshop job of All Day Peterson

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Alright, got the curve layer. The color layer has me stumped. Do I pick a color from the drop down? What do I do with the sliders?

I like to do color balance layers in three steps: one for midtones, one for shadows, one for highlights. You can do one layer and edit all three, but I like to keep my effects organized. Mess with the sliders, and the picture will look better with more of one color than the other.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

I tried that, and it looked weird, like without any extra color.

Is that what yours was like before the color layer, or did I screw up?

 

[Master Shake]

That link just asks me if I want to find a date in Aurora.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

You need to enter in the 3 character code thingy and download it. I kept it as a psd, to retain layers, and didn't know any other way to share it (bigger than the upload limit here)

 

[GMJ]

The download just contains the image, not the psd, so I cant see exactly where you went wrong. By the looks of it I'd say you either curved it way too much, or set the slider too far to red; maybe even a combination of both.
