What's that mate, you chose the angles and views for a set of images for a housing competition? And what's that? You set the camera too low in almost all of them and the one that is vaguely ok is looking towards the ground so the perspective is all fucked? Ok, mate. Well, if that's what has been decided without asking me, the arch-viz guy, then carry on - you're the architect. Oh, wait no you're not - you're a FUCKING ENGINEER.

I belong to a social club and had it out with one of the fuckers there running for a board position as part of a slate. A reply to him.
--------------------------------...
What does that prove? I don't trust you, nor should anyone on the slate. We all were right about you. Interested to know how Ralph figured out we were going to do a digital mailer, in the first place, eh?
Chris, on the other hand, he showed no sign of betrayal, except for tonight. To think, we actually let him in on our personal thoughts, only for his self-servicing ways to take rise. He's as bad as Rege, what a fake!
Interestingly enough, you've used the word "comical." That pretty much sums up the current board, which you're a part of it, it's a bunch of fucking worthless clowns. The stuff being sent out, represents you just as much as the others you're attempting to go against. Well, not you Rich, again you've done your lying and cheating to get where you need to be, probably hoping the next president has a heart attack, so you can put your claws into the presidency and act "regal." You don't have a generous bone in your body, this is ALL for you, you, you and I can smell it from a mile away.
I could give a flying fuck whether you hold a grudge or not, because I will. You don't deserve the VP, you're cronies / fraudulent buddies Ralph, Rege and Bob helped you get there, by going after no one else to run. Respect for whom? Blatant, parasitic racists that bring the club down, each moment they walk into the door? Are you kidding me, dude???
Then there is our naive slate, which you should have never been a part of, we were ALL right and I do mean ALL. We contemplated removing you.
Regardless, you win, you can have it. I'm through with the club, after this election, regardless of what happens. Let's not pretend the individuals moving in or up are going to make that much of a difference. You're kidding yourselves, if you think as much.

On the 17th of May I'm gonna start a Further Education in:
4 weeks - CSS
4 weeks - (X)HTML + CSS
2 weeks - JavaScript
2 weeks - Responsive Webdesign (Bootstrap 3, CSS3 and Less)
4 weeks - Adobe Photoshop with a ACA Exam in the end
2 weeks - Adobe Illustrator Basics
2 weeks - Adobe Illustrator for Web Designers
2 weeks - Adobe InDesign Intensive
2 weeks - Adobe InDesign for Web DesignersIt will last 6 months.
I got it paid from the Unemployment Center here in Germany.Actually it should be for Webdesign.
And the duration could be from 3 to 6 months.I could have chosen two weeks more of JavaScript and two more weeks Responsive Webdesign.
Or some JQuery, Ajax, PHP, MySQL...
But I don't want to be either a developer or a programmer, so I decided to use the six full months to renew/refresh some of my Adobe Software skills as I don't work for years in an Office and lost my working rhythm.
Still, I'm more into giving Workshops, Graffiti and repairing Bicycles.
They, the Academy, suggested me a Webdesign Degree.
But it was only constituted by Adobe Software:Photoshop
Illustrator
InDesign
Dreamweaver
Edge
Flash
MuseI rejected.
Thanks.- i'm thinking javascript should take longer to learn than csspinkfloyd
- I opted out from more JavaScript. Decided for more illustrator instead.oey
- And the (X)HTML weeks are mostly HTML and just a bit of CSS. That's why I decided just for a CSS program.oey
- As the Training can be also build in Modules, I decided for this scenario. Had lots of doubts.oey
- There were Modules from Illustrator only for Pre-Print and for specific supports like Packaging Design or Flyers or whatever.oey
- There were InDesign Modules specifically targeted for eBooks, ePub, Tablets, etc..oey
- There was another Responsive Webdesign Module just for Smartphones and Tablets.
And so on...
It was not easy.oey - I really would recommend doing a lot of that yourself on side projects and simple stuff... best way of learning. The few courses I have done were a let down.fadein11
- I have my own projects hanging for years. Lost the necessary discipline and motivation. We'll see what happens. It's 9 hours a day for the next 6 months.oey
- yeah good luck with it - I just always struggled to learn web stuff from others - just got stuck in myself which may not be the best way I guess.fadein11
- 9 hours a day for 6 months! God I'd rather write a book or an album...fadein11
- I guess I will actually learn something. Or at least I hope. It also depends of me. But I'm 40 years old and I might never have another chance like this.oey
- Fuck! I think I exaggerated by choosing Illustrator Basics...oey
- So much adobe!
Good luck oey.
Shout if you need code aide.mugwart - Noice, that's awesome :)Maaku
- I thought JavaScript was like a super code that can take over the world?Hayoth
- I asked to replace Illustrator Basics with more JavaScript. That move was not well thought.oey
- Thanks for the downvote!oey
- Nice, good luck. smart move to drop the illy basicsGnash

- Still had to pay the man. Well tinier version of the man. Btw gov monitors all data crossing borders.pango
- Now all your data is guaranteed to bemonitored.pango

- Hi Scarabin (very belated thanks for the sticker, still on my laptop!)
Depends on the VPN service. Did you check if they store logs?mugwart - hey scar im adding new features to ur directory thing, ill shoot it back to you when im done. added sorting options, total file count and sizepockets
- killer, thanks pockets!scarabin
- mugwart; i did check, they do not store logs. just curious if my texts are secure now. i guess they could be on my end but not on the other guy's phone, right?scarabin

Told a coworker that I often open the emergency door behind my desk to fart. Now every time I do that she knows. Should have kept my mouth shut.
- live and Learn!pango

- No no! Dude, you're on to something brilliant - now you can do it without opening the door and she'll never think it's you! genius.Krassy

I applied for a nice job last week, today I got a generic email that it has been filled.
They didn't even want to interview me.
- happened the same to me. just this year like almost 20 times already.oey
- Find the senior creatives on linkedin and contact them directly. But you better impress them if you do that, otherwise they'll be annoyed,Maaku
- if you applied last week and they notified you this week, you must have been too late. i wouldn't take it personally.sarahfailin

I didn't realize how many bad movies and box office bombs that Will Smith has starred in, until I turned on "I Am Legend" this evening.

- I liked that movie except the cgi at the end.Hayoth
- I liked the original but aside from a few moments, i wouldn't think it is great.yurimon
- just saw Concussion on a plane... weakmonospaced
- If you've read the book it was based on, you'll realise even more painfully how utterly, utterly dire this shit flick was.detritus

^ $150 million and months of hundreds of people's time was spent on the movie and then a lot of money and time photoshopping this poster together. You would think they would put more effort into the type of the "logo".
- I'm sure they did but some douche in marketing insisted it be more Trajan-y_niko
- 99.9% of non-designers probably wouldn't ever think about itmonospaced
- You know Mike Patton did the voices of the zombies in this?BK
- ^^ the tragedy of our workGnash
- Could have been a decent movie if the zombies were like in TWD (no cgi).Maaku
- movie was pretty good, i was entertained.Gnash

drake-von-drake, you talk way too much.
- freedom-2
This girl I know asked me to help her design some things for a photo project she's working on with some other people, nothing too big.
She's nice and she's not making any money off it so I said, sure, I would help.
Now she keeps adding to it and continuing the project and assuming I'll contribute to each round. I feel like a dick if I pass, but I'm not really that interested in the content she's generating.
I hate that I only want to do things for money.
- And she's not hot.freedom
- clearly you're not thinking with your dick. that's good. and also doesn't seem like you're not doing it out of your own interest as well.pango
- @#$%^%$
doesn't seem like you're *doing it out of your own interest as well.pango - Mention that the more time you spend on this the less time you have for paying jobs. She can choose to pay for priority or not.i_monk

any suggestions for a < $500 portable PA system?

As expected, the renders I mentioned earlier are absolute shit - uninteresting views, too much foreground (so a metric shit-tonne of open asphalt and paving), no detail whatsoever - lamps, furniture, etc. The fucking wretched obsession architects have of trying to show everything in a single view - like they have this mental collapse if something *isn't* in the image it somehow doesn't actually exist. We're doing four images and all of them are gash.
I have no enthusiasm to do any decent work on them whatsoever.
- :(inteliboy
- Close the computer down.
Take as long walk as you can. get your eyes focus on something that is not sub meter away! Make a tea, get back to it!!mugwart - what i do anyway! Slamming your mouse down helps as well!mugwart
- Nah, these are shit - there's no saving them to be honest. They have no personality or anything I can make 'unique'. I'll just suck it up and battle through it.face_melter
- Oh, and they are due next Wednesday and half of it hasn't been modeled properly yet.
Fuck yeah!face_melter

I want to thank the positive input from some QBN members to my new step in life.
I've been a bit professionally lost but I'm very positive about the future.
This means a lot for me and I really appreciated the support and feedback.Thanks!

Let me know if you need a hand with any of the code side of things.mugwart - Mugwart what kind of code do you do?pango

There was a post some weeks back in regards to t-shirt / garment printing.
It was site that allowed you to set the profit margin on your shirts, and once enough pre-orders had been taken, the shirts would then be printed and shipped.
Does anyone have that link or remember what I'm referring to?
Thanks
