I like them, as I have no photoshop skills whatsoever. Looks good to me. Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :
Very cool!
Hey -- whatever happened to our 'Photoshop Phriday" competitions you all used to have here on Hatrack? I loved looking at the images.

Very beautifu.
The first one is a beautiful crystal logo...very handsom. I like the hexagons on the top and bottom too.
The second one feels like you're being pulled in... great effect.

thanks but take a look at what i made, then take a look at a site like http://2advanced.com Posted by beatnix19 (Member # 5836) on :
I've been wondering the same thing FG. I miss participating. I stopped for a while because of computer issues but am up and running again and really wnat to do some more fun stuff with photoshop.

I like the first one very much. It's soothing while still being visually interesting at the same time. My mind doesn't know what to make of the second one, so I see it as more abstract.
The first one would be very cool if you could slightly animate it, like a crystal ringing from a small vibration.
Are you a graphics design major?

Im not sure what you mean.
And I'm not a Graphics design major, I've just fiddle around with photoshop every now and then.
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
I just meant, if you expand on Tel's idea that it's crystalline, imagine how it would look if it was struck lightly with a hammer, so it rung and vibrated like a tuning fork.
I have no idea how one would do this, but it would look cool.
Of course, it looks cool now, too.

I like the second one alot. It feels like I am falling between 2 buildings.
Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
thanks for the comments! maybe ill make some more sometime Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
they're both extremely nice. the symmetries are excellent and i like the evocative metropolitan shattered-glass action-flick look of the second one. have you tried to do anything organic-looking?

Posted by kaioshin00 (Member # 3740) on :
By organic you mean...Benzene rings?
Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :
I think they're both very cool.
I'm not any good at that stuff, but you really want to get some good opinions on your stuff, try putting it up at Deviant Art. Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
k,
if you can work it in as a motif, absolutely!

I just made a new image... Can you guys tell me what you think?
I believe what happened to the Photoshop Fridays is that Annie got one of those "life" things and was unable to commit her time any longer.
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
k,
it's a bit intense. can you make the figurative bits friendlier somehow?
fallow
PS. It kicks the ass out of the ones I saw before.

I could lower the opacity..dulling the effects. Maybe I'll try that out tomorrow.
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
k,
It just needs a bit of dimensionality, I think. A horizon-line might work, if it's not too harsh.
I really enjoyed it. thank you for sharing that.
fallow
PS. it is beautiful. engaging and evocative. precision and symmetry. looks like water-waves cresting/interfering under moonlight. incredible!

Every time I think of this thread, I flash on Carl Reiner's short subject on SNL.
"Images, by Tyrone Green"
Posted by fallow (Member # 6268) on :
well, it's different.
I'm wondering if you can pull the top bit foreward, and emphasize the hint of a bowl/funnel shape at the bottom? make the curvature of the lines draw the eyes along the surface? 3D

I could reinstate photoshop phriday if I get some promised participation... those last couple went entry-less.
