Darth Apple's graphics thread

I'm not particularly great at graphics design, but I still enjoy creating whatever I can in the GIMP.

Having a little fun with Fedora and the Gimp

Well, the fedora icon changed Tongue

Yeah, it was a mistake I didn't realize I had made until I had already exported it. I tend to rush projects like that too much Tongue

Coming from a person with a friend who is obsessed with their fedora, I got a good kick out of this. Tongue

The only hat that matters.. to your friend?: Tongue

It would appear, yes. They got very annoyed when we tried to steal it. It was all in good fun, of course. Tongue

LOL...

I always find it fun to use something like Picasa or the GIMP and turn a boring sunset photo into something really intense. I think maybe I made those a little too intense.

I think perhaps it's a little intense, but the main sticking point for me is the yellows. If those were toned down you'd be golden. (Pun not intended Tongue

Maybe I should attempt a couple under the GIMP just to see what's possible. I think I have done them with the GIMP before, but it's a lot of work, especially trying to compensate for a terrible phone camera.

I actually have to edit the colors and rightness/contrast levels on pretty much all of the pictures I take because otherwise they stand ruined by the camera. I think it's about time I get a real camera.

I know the feeling, though since I've gotten my new phone the quality is better. Still not as good as a normal camera, but in a jiffy it does well. I generally edit my photos for that reason, as well. Just to make the colours nice. Sometimes to do cool effects and make them "artistic". Smile

I have about 2MP. My previous phone, which I had for quite a while, had only 1.3MP. You'd be surprised how much better 2MP is, but it still sucks, especially when you don't have any form of zoom besides digital zoom. Tongue

I like the first one, looking comfortable and a little animated. Maybe you could add some more content, like another tree, a house, or a castle, etc. It's just my advice, maybe something personal though Smile
