design with curly ornaments Aug 29, 08, 8:43 a.m.

anyone know of some nice examples of swooshy, curly ornaments used effectively in a design, be it print or web design.

much appreciated to anyone that has some quality examples. have to design a website using this curly, ornate piece of garbage that marketing has already used in some pitiful print materials and i am having a mental block.

thanks

Used to like them quite a bit.
poppish, but catchy simple songwriting. dug where they were taking their sound a few years back, seemed as if they were growing up.

then they found eyeliner and began catering to emos and teenyboppers. are they still around?

i troll around here and generally add to the sarcastic and cynical tone. i do it because it keeps me entertained at my monotonous job and because occasionally i make others laugh with a stupid comment or animated gif, but i sincerely appreciate when i see or read something fulfilling and genuine like the patrick o'brien thread and Bonseff's unfortunate story this morning. reading those accounts and hearing more about Tank's mother is so uplifting and refreshing and so so needed. sharing a story of humilty and strength and grace and love and spirit such as those is crucial to humanity. more power to all of them and their families, and to everyone else, struggling or not, that gives us a glimpse at pure, raw human beauty and integrity. the world needs more light - more things that make you slow up a step, realize life is precious, smell the roses, acknowledge and be thankful for even simple daily experiences.

i will kiss my son tonight, and hold my girlfriend very close. i wish everyone a very safe and happy weekend. thanks.

marketing makes me want to cry May 20, 08, 11:36 a.m.

the marketing dept at my company is fucking horrible. i have been waiting on a rebranded identity for part of our company to include on the new website design. all sections have a banner at the top 750x100 px. i finally get the new branded banner. it looks nothing. NOTHING like the others. complete disregard of colors and layout. ok... fine, but the majority of it is white. i cant have a white banner on a white page. elements are cropped in weird places and there is no edge. and don't even get me started on the logo and the typography. i swear this girl is fucking retarded.

it's unreal.

font installer... May 20, 08, 9:18 a.m.

i filtered and mostly got "what's this font?" threads. i'm sure i've seen people answer this question before. can someone give advice on a program that efficiently installs fonts on a pc (win xp)... mostly encountering errors with drag and drop of .PFM and .PMB or whatever they are.

thanks

SVG May 19, 08, 10:55 a.m.

have looked at w3schools.

any advice appreciated. thanks

how many computers does adobe allow to use the same serial? May 16, 08, 12:06 p.m.

someone was telling me recently that you can have the software on up to 3 different computers. true? not true? curious because i just found out that marketing is using Photoshop cs3 and i'm stuck in cs for no good reason. plus i'd also like to have a copy of illustrator cs3...

QBN madlibs May 13, 08, 5:37 p.m.

first off, QBN, didn't mean to take thy name in vain,... just getting some folks attention. and since this would really only make sense to people on this site, i needed somewhat of an attention-grabbing headline.

let's get it going, didn't expect the few responses i got before but it would amuse me to see some others. might put these on stickers or something and make them available for QBNrs
