Here's an early work of mine:
- MrOneHundred0
I have set type with Letraset.
I have drawn lines with a rapidograph pen.
I have cut masks with Ruby Lith.
I learnt PageMaker on a IIfx.
I have hand-cut stencils for screen-printing.
I have retouched photos with little pots of grey paint.
I started my first job on the day that PhotoShop 2.5 was released.
I have waited 30 minutes to nudge a selection 1 pixel in said version of PhotoShop.
I have to mash-up an apple if I want to eat one.
I think I just went pee-pee.

I was hired to shoot the 'big bang'.

When I was young my toy gun actually looked like a gun, and it didn't shoot soft spongy darts... it shot really hard plastic things.

My first job was in 1986. Letraset, boards, paste-up, bromides, rubylith. I remember my boss getting his first mac and saying this was the future. How we laughed... but he genuinely was, one of the first.

I was brought it to make final revisions to the bible.
I threw in some curve balls to keep you super-naturalists on your toes.

I, too, worked in the days of paste up, rubylith and stat cameras.

I grew up playing with Letraset that was lying around at home.
I started on an Amiga in Deluxe paint.
I made my first website in pure html in 1994.
I visited Cyberia (london's first ever cybercafe) with another geek from school since no one had their own internet connection. We typed urls from the yellow pages bit in the back of .NET magazine because we didn't know about search engines (or there weren't any then).
I used to own photoshop 4
I still rule at quark on OS9 even though I now use InDesign CS3.
I used to think that Freehand was better than illustrator.- Which version of Deluxe Paint?Nairn
- Deluxe paint II. Didn't have animation. But that symmetry tool was awesome!BaskerviIle
- Didn't it didn't have animation? Huh. It certainly had colour-cycling though - "oooh, waterfalls!" :)Nairn
- I swore II had animation - I thought I remembered doing Lemmings animations on it. Must've been on III.Nairn
- I still have my boxed copy of IV at the folks (II was pirated, obviously). Never did get to use all 4086 colours! :..)Nairn
- erk.. 4096, obviously.Nairn

I used to work with letteraset and letter tape - can't remember what it was called. I have a record collection. I was born in the sixties. I know how to develop film in chemicals - in fact I used to do that a lot in one of my early jobs. I remember Macromind Director, Future Splash, Mozaic and Janet which all came after I'd been working in design for quite sometime.
