-4, wont be long until I'm batting for the other side

Today, but only cos I was installing Norton, and it was only the crossword section. When was the last time you smoked?

6 - would be more if it didn't have a frame of devoid animation when one of the hands goes up to the head instantly. Surely there should be some kind of gravitational force preventing that... Silly chick, don't you understand about relativity? 9 - Its a great job

As this is all I can now think of having just read the first 6 letters Final C.. and this: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/thetoydepartment/gob.jpg

Nah, Andrew?

Atmosphere - Save the Day Thanks elasticasteroid

8 - Cant quite make it out. 9.5 - Alpha dog loud and proud, bonus for that

Great fun to do, but the image composition was a bitch. I couldn't of possibly made it shorter without cutting most of the background elements out, such as the smoke or the the silhouettes, or massively distorting the image. Jharius, if you want any thing added/moved/replaced/cut or elements combined from the different images such as text, the border or your awards, or if I missed something, please let me know. To anyone else, please feel free to critique my work, in fact it's actively encouraged! Edit: Layout.

You know the score Yeh practise practise, is all you need to do with PS. Read and follow as many tut's as you can, the first time, just copy there ideas and methods, then go back and try it again but tweak a few simple parts just slightly; colours/lengths/blending options, and then finally try and just emulate its style, rather than its making a copy of its outcome; by deviating at some point to add your own twist to it. If your not greatly experienced, do the WHOLE of a video tutorial [i used lynda.com] to get to grips with every tool, filter, menu and option available to you, even if you already know how to use 75% of them. Why? cos it'll teach you the ones you neglect to use, for me, these were probably the most powerful. Clone tool. Paths. First Aid brust. Patch tool. History brush. Creating custom brushes. and custom patterns. Levels. Blending options. The 25% of PS i just "skipped over" when I was first learning, are the parts I use the parts I rely on now. Learn to love these tools and the best way to use them. In the long term, I might be tempted to write some tut's if there is some level of interest on the forum, on how to utilize PS to its best of its abilities. EDIT: /derail Please critique my ava, tell me why it sucks

a: 8 sig: 6.5 Prefered your old sig, the elements fitted together nicely, had a much better sense of continuity. I feel like an Estonian judge in during the eurovision song contest for saying that, after such a great response: Please critique the crap out of mine.

1) Place your subwoofer in the foothole under your desk 2) turn the bass to a level at which loose objects fall of your desk 3) queue up these songs 4) press play and place head under desk The Streets - Blinded By The Lights (Remix) La Roux - In For The Kill (Remix) Sub-Focus - Let the story begin Spor - Aztec Calyx - Tearing us apart Chase & status - Peices The Prodigy - Take Me To The Hospital (Remix) If you missed one of those steps or you not feeling the urge to skank like a MOFO, your not listening right.

9 8 - its due an update me-thinks

Ava: 8.5 - a bit uninspired, personally mechs are not my taste: Composition wise Try it with a darker background; semi-shiney + white isnt the best combo, or keep the focus a single colour. http://i31.tinypic.com/mvsugy.jpg Sig: 7 - too blurry - Please ensure objects are in clearly in the focus when using your camera, even if you have to step into the fire's proximity to snap your target. http://i26.tinypic.com/2n7gm5u.jpg Touch-ups Disclaimer: playplay is not responsible for any damage caused to you or your camera when entering a burning area without the correct type of flame retardant clothing.
