Five Tips to Starting FreelancingSo, you're tired of being unemployed. You've been stuck at home for the umpteenth month in a row, a new season of The Legend of Korra is still a year off, and your government support checks (should you be lucky to still be getting them) won't even come close to affording you a bus ticket to Everfree Northwest. Your evaluation of life is the same dissertation of tedium and monotony as Helen Keller's review of Chinese Democracy.
You know, pretty much on par with every other review of Chinese Democracy.
But know what? If you can't find a job, you'll make a job! Screw finding work, and screw the employers who keep dismissing your applications for being "over qualified" like that Bachelors of Science in Graphic Design is as detrimental to your character as being a registered felon. Screw them and that stupid help wanted sign at Quiznos. Now you're freelancing, baby.
While I'm assuming you're alread

PE: 10 tips and tricks not very known about PS10 useful and not very known Photoshop tricks
1. Saving your .psd with all layers hidden makes a smaller file compared to saving it with all layers visible.
2. You can use the Crop Tool to quickly increase the canvas size of an image by holding down Ctrl + Alt whilst dragging the Crop Tool outside the current canvas.
3. If you want to see only one of your layers at a time, hold down Alt whilst clicking the eye icon of the layer. (do it again to show all layers again)
4. Holding down Alt while in a dialog box turns the Cancel button into a Reset button, so you can reset the values back to default.
5. If you want to just quickly check a very heavy .psd file, you can hold down Shift + Alt while clicking the Open button. This way Photoshop will open a flattened version of the file.
6. You can change the gray background that surrounds your image with the Paint Bucket Tool, just hold down Shift and make click on the background.
7. Not a very unknown tip, but if y

Canvas sizes - inches and dpi and pixelsThis is a sort of guide on canvas sizes, inches, dpi and pixel x pixels.
when it came to canvas sizes, I always kind of assumed that inches belonged with dpi and pixels were just pixels and that everyone knew that; but i read a whole bunch of comments on a tumblr blog where someone asked about canvas sizes, and SO MANY people were replying with things such as, "4000x4000 px at 300 dpi" or "2000x2000 px at 200dpi".
and I guess not everyone quite understands what dpi's really used for xD.
DPI = Dots per Inch. It means how many dots will be printed per inch.
DPI is actually used for printing purposes. It shows the printer how much pixels to print per inch, literally. A common printer (at home or even at a lot of printing stores) at best prints at 150dpi most of the time actually; there are some super duper great printers that can print REALLY fine that can go up to ...apparently a lot more xD; #dpi, so that's why everyone usually suggests saving your project at 300dpi; most printers are f

Project Educate - Fractal Week - Nature of FRACTALIn the begining there was vast, unmeasurable empty space, waving & contracting.
The gravitational pull & density was so strong to condense into a big dwarf exceeding all reality sizes ...and then it suddenly happened the BIG BANG !!

All molecules & fragments of the dwarf got to travel at light speed to different of cosmos, forming new systems, and galaxies.

The seeds of life got scattered into remote places - one of them fell on earth and started to grow

The evolution at early stages forming terrains, bodies of
water & atmosphere above the planet surface. And then - everything grew in proportional neverending chains of F R A C T A L S

All this was caring hope for new LIFE - the molecules dancing, splitting,pulling each other closer build the first blocks of DNA (fractalized models, as you can see).

Project: Educate, Fractal Week features!Hello everyone, it's *heavenriver reporting for Fractal Week, autumn 2011! In occasion of this yearly event, I have gathered some of my favourite fractals ever and sorted them by colour for all of you to see. Enjoy it! And long live fractals

Know your Basics - PerspectivePerspective comes in different forms, the most obvious & basic of which is the use of the word in relation to the appearance of relative orientation in a three dimensional space. At first, it may seem irrelevant to photomanipulators, (because, hey, the photographs already are perspectively sound,) but putting more than one photograph in context requires that you learn to see what makes sense and what doesn't.
The Technical Stuff

Perspective (from Latin perspicere, to see through) in the graphic arts, such as drawing, is an approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye. The two most characteristic features of perspective are that objects are drawn:
Smaller as their distance from the observer increasesForeshortened: the size of an object's dimensions along the line of
sight are relatively shorter than dimensions acro

SAY NO TO FREE ARTEvery day, there are more and more posts on here seeking "artists" for everything from auto graphics to comic books to corporate logo designs. More people are finding themselves in need of some form of illustrative service.
But what they're NOT doing, unfortunately, is realizing how rare someone with these particular talents can be.
To those who are "seeking artists", let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? A dozen? Five? One? …none?
More than likely, you don't know any. Otherwise, you wouldn't be posting on here to find them.
And this is not really a surprise.
In this country, there are almost twice as many neurosurgeons as there are professional illustrators. There are eleven times as many certified mechanics. There are SEVENTY times as many people in the IT field.
So, given that they are less rare, and therefore less in demand, would it make sense to ask your mechanic to work on your car for free? Woul

The Third Dimension 9

by ~10am, Mar 2, 2007, 4:57:30 PM
Journals / Art News / Digital Art

Welcome to the final issue of the Third Dimension which will be posted by me, from now on it will be thanks to ~third-dimension (Of which I am the founder/creator)

But fear not, The Third Dimension will go on and continue to serve up the best of the best 3D artworks from the past week.

We will also feature an interview, product reviews and in some cases small tutorials. This should make The Third Dimension the one stop shop for all your 3D art needs!

But for now here's this weeks features. And I hope you enjoy the bonus three, making this issue a feature of 10 artworks!

--------------------------------------------

INTEROITUM by ~edlo
Such a catastrophic image - Interoitum by ~edlo is an excellent example of volumetric lighting which works to create such a deep and entrancing image.

:thumb49774268:
I feel stronger by !FabF
At first I was opposed to featuring this, but as I kept looking at it I fell more and more in love with it, such wonderful colours and a truly unique render make this well worthy of it's place in this week's features.

Milk desk by `jake
This piece of art just made my jaw drop and crack on the floor - such dreamy lighting and splendid use of reflections. I would most likely kill to have a desk that looks like this!

TransFlow by ~mrecko999
Now I am a big fan of explosion renders and this piece just takes the cake and turns it into a behemoth tasty monster black forest cake! Such sexy use of colour and texture make this a piece worthy of desktop sexyness!

JPD.Burn by ~sugarstack
Being a part time DJ, when I saw this piece I swore I saw elements of Vinyl records and needles in this artwork. In other words I instantly fell in love with this piece and it's colour and shape.

evening soft light in PS by ~Neellss
A wonderfully well crafted render which in the end creates the illusion of reality. I would pay anything for a house like this - wonderfully atmospheric and a pleasure to look at.

1970 Nova. by ~FlyingScotsman
I just love this take on the old school muscle cars. Beautifully presented in a wonderfully urban background.

cafeethree by ~nyigitk
I would be surprised if this artist does not get picked up by a design company for pre-vis work - splendidly crafted environment with immaculate attention to detail.

Splinter.v2 by !squ1zz
As I have been browsing the 3D gallery these past few days, this piece kept sticking out to me. I love the way it is crafted and this second version looks completely stunning compared to the first, with lovely subtle colours.

Realm Of Graffiti by ~theartofHOUSE
A fan of graffiti myself, this piece to me just screams sexy! The dirty texture of the background just fits perfectly in the idea of the image, gorgeous colours top off this awesome image!

--------------------------------------------

Well, that wraps it up for this issue - be sure to add ~third-dimension to keep up to date with all future updates.

All the best,
10am.

~trinket Mar 3, 2007

It's nice to see some 3d stuff, I'm planning on taking a 3d modeling class next semester, so it's interesting to see what kind of stuff is possible!

~10am Mar 3, 2007

I hope you enjoy the class - it's such an open ended thing to be able to do, really the possibilities are endless...

I love your gallery by the way - it's really relaxing and inspirational! I'm hoping to take up photography, since I began modeling it's been a little thing I've wanted to be able to do so yeh...

Maybe a few photos might rock up in my gallery somewhere along the way...

!squ1zz Mar 3, 2007

oo thanks for selecting my piece man!

~third-dimension Mar 3, 2007

10am here: Your welcome mate - keep up the top work and just because a few people don't like an artwork doesn't mean it aint brilliant. Keep up your unique style, I love it!
