Random Piece I'm Doing

talk design
1

I started playing around with some photos, some photoshop, and different effect looks for a piece I’m working on and I thought I’d share what I’m working on and perhaps look for some input with what I should do with it. I don’t know whether I’m finished or not, I may add more or leave it. I can’t decide! Lemme know what you think.

Well, here she is:

**** that is a sweet picture!!! :slight_smile:

but i would see how it looks without the city and sunset/rise in the foreground.

:panda:E!KO:panda:

It’s actually meant to be an explosion. Perhaps I could portray that better.
It’s early so bear with my misunderstanding: You want to see with without the city and the bright blasts? I could play with some random stuff and post it for ya :slight_smile:

and those **** scanlines are overused! ive even got them in my footer for heaven’s sake

this is nice… so smooth… so fine… :thumb:

Dan - does it matter? Those scanlines might be overused but they look d*mn good on the right type of images ;).

i just think that alot of times, when people dont know what to do to an image, theyre like, " hmmm, well, might as well some of those scanlines" and then they throw them in there composition. eventually theyll make stuff look dated i think. just an opinion though.

8

Those scanlines are used to make it looks trendy. It’s called style :P.

i believe trends die out, but good solid , classic design will last and last…

We’ll see about that.

In my original image they were less like scanlines and more like stripes. I have a larger version, maybe for print at some point. I just really enjoyed how it looked at a much smaller scale and the lines just come out looking like scanlines I guess. I thought it gave an interesting texture to the sky, giving it a sleeker look mixed with the grungyness that much of the image has. If someone has a better idea for a texture, I would be more than willing to try it. Like I said, it’s more or less a work in progress.

“good, solid design”, example please? lol design stays with the times.

13

i believe those are called pattern lines, scanlines would have to follow the original concept of originating from a TV, (HORIZONTALY)!:trout: but i could be wrong:puzzled:

14

MAN, SCAN LINES REPRESENT !!!

:panda:E!KO:panda:

15

Wow, I post an image and it becomes a battle of scanlines vs. no scanlines. Crazyness!
(oops, spam)

very cool pic! :thumb: If I was u I would eliminate the arrows and make the sky darker

I liked the lighter sky because it gave off more the impression of beauty. A darker tone gave it a much more sinister appearance. The sky was also really bland alone even with the texture so I added the arrows to give the impression of change, life leaving, and rebirth.
