Maddoc1007 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 60& Opacity: @Jason for some reason these opague logos are not showing up in forum Quote
Jason Carr Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Very nice, Martin. I think the problem with the uploads is the % sign. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 @Jason yes was the percentage sign Quote
SentaiBrad Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I do have extensive knowledge on Photoshop, so if you need any help just ask. If you have Steam I can add you if that makes things easier. I am also thinking about doing something like this with some of the more well known platforms but with video. "Platform Trailers" if you will. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 @SentaiBrad thanks, no dont have steam, ill manage over the next week or so to get through all the platforms and learn as i go lol if i get stuck will ask you for help thank you again, just have to get how to use spoiler though Quote
SentaiBrad Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Oh random tip that I thought about. When working with higher quality materials, make sure that Anti Aliasing is turned off. I am unsure if there is an option when working with stuff in GIMP for it, but it will make your lines more clean and provide less fuzzy edges in some respects. Quote
garbanzo Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Nice designs! Here are some great images that you might find useful, with transparent PNG available for most: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Evan-Amos And lots of vector logos, including many video game consoles: http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/ A few suggestions: I don't know if GIMP has a pen tool like Photoshop, but if it does, it's worth looking into. It's a great way to create vector masks and cut images out of backgrounds cleanly. Also, some of the console/handheld images have distorted aspect ratios (too squashed top-to-bottom or left-to-right). While this helps them fill the background circle more fully, to me it makes some of them look weird, like the Lynx and the ColecoVision. Quote
Maddoc1007 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 @garbanzo thank you for the links great pngs for the consoles the ones i was using were from here, and also for the advice as i only started using GIMP yesterday but learned the pen tool quickly today and a few more things as well lol see revised image for the CrystalSystem/Lync/ColecoVision 60 percent opacity 1 Quote
