I decided to dust off my Graphic Design skills.

Post by The Conservative » Thu Dec 09, 2021 10:49 am

God I'm rusty... the last time I used Adobe Illustrator was the same time Quark XPress was mainstream...back in 96...I think...

I decided to try some simple line work, and damn as much as they have improved the UI, the functionality, etc... I feel like a noob again trying to re-learn a lot of old skills... My first attempt and I will sadly say this took a lot longer than it should have. (2 hours)

The trunk curve is really pissing me off...

Dude, you know I’m always complimentary when people do something creative: that looks great.

Well, I got faster, with some edits after export because exporting as an SVG is annoying...Think I'm going to be working more on graphic design... I got a few ideas for streaming, etc... and may as well make use of my skills than pay someone else if I can do it myself.

Should I put a poll up for it? ;) especially since the party seems to switch, or make one for each? The only problem is cigars would look weird I think with these kinds of images since we have no mouths on them technically.
