I'm trying to draft up a scheduling design document to illustrate to a manager how new employee shift schedules will work for the year. I have the format roughly drafted out in an excel spreadsheet, but I'd like to put it in a nice chart format. Excel or Illustrator if you're feeling fancy. Maybe Chartwell?

Perhaps you can use some of that sweet, sweet Furcadia cash to buy a copy of legit image editing software.

The pHo posted:Is there anywhere in CC, or another SA subforum, where people talk about their screenprint collection? I was lucky enough to nab one of Joshua Budich's mystery tubes on C. Monday, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one here who picked one up, be nice to see what other people got. I don't think so, but feel free to start one if you want. Screenprinting is a lot of fun, and everybody loves looking at pretty pictures.

In Photoshop: Create a transition frame, then Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Adjust angle and distance to taste.

Most artists are gigantic narcissists who'll dump pages and pages of masturbatory drivel at the drop of the hat. They're just saying, "Tell us briefly and concisely who you are, what you do, and where you've done it, in places that are worth mentioning."

triplexpac posted:Here's a question for graphic designers/photographers/illustrators: The last two interviews I went to I just brought my laptop with a local copy of my portfolio site (in case I couldn't access the internet at their office). Most of it was conversation about my involvement and process with the work, not fetishizing the container it was presented in.

Going to disagree here, but only for designers, and only really for web designers specifically. Your portfolio site says just as much about your professional capabilities as the examples of work. I've seen a lot of cases of people working in teams where their site design, coding, and wayfinding obviously communicated weren't doing as much heavy lifting as others. Illustrators, etc. yeah, definitely a different story. Show me your work as quickly and with as little fuss as possible, then make it incredibly easy for me to contact you.

cmykjester posted:Okay thanks for the help, I do hang on the originals anyways, I have a 1TB External, and 3TB in my PC. It's crazy. If you're working with the Creative Suite, most source files can be linked and placed between apps and updated on the fly. Don't flatten and destroy if you don't have to.

If have the permission(s) to, maybe upload them to a stock site and turn the aggregate earnings into donated funds for the shelter? It's less sexy an undertaking, but it may turn into a decent enough source of unanticipated help over time.

scarycave posted:I have a question. One of such magnitude that it may cause you emotional distress. It depends on the intent. Text and line art? Black and white with a high, 1200+ DPI setting. Artwork or photography with a spectrum of values between 100% white and 100% black? Greyscale, at 300-600 DPI. pipes! fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Apr 4, 2014 |

melon cat posted:Thanks for the suggestion, guys. However, I'm trying to avoid clipping masks because I've run into printing issues when using them. Any workarounds that don't involve the use of clipping masks? Make the shadow with a gradient map, and don't use any raster effects, then divide the shadow along your work area edge and delete the excess.

Also A Thing To Make Photoshop Not As Terrible is to pay attention to repetitive tasks you find yourself doing a lot, and either bind them to a custom keyboard shortcut or automate it away via an action, if you can.

melon cat posted:A question about backing up my work in Adobe CS. I'm trying to use CrashPlan for backing up my work, but it's taking forever to upload my work to their cloud (there's ~40GB to backup). According to CrashPlan, it'll take 8 days to backup my files, most of which are work done in Adobe CS. Am I better off biting the bullet and just upgrading to Adobe Creative Cloud and using their cloud's backup service? I use CrashPlan and love it. When I switched over, I elected to use their Seeded Backup option to offset the huge initial upload. I'd shy away from Creative Cloud, especially if it's your livelyhood; it's always best to own your own data and Creative Cloud isn't, um, the best example of a reliable cloud service out there.

Travakian posted:This is the key thing-- Dropbox is a file-sharing service, and Crashplan is an automated set-and-forget backup service. Both can be used for the other, but they focus on & excel at different things. Yeah, this. I mean, if you wanna do backups The Best Way, have 3 backups: an onsite backup, another onsite backup of that backup in case the first one fucks up, and a third offsite, ideally versioned so you can restore from different points in time.
