MadManMike Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I need to design a flyer, I have an idea but don't know how to put it into practice. Basically, I'm looking for a futuristic looking background, but I need a photo of the female DJ on there as she's well known and very hot lol I want to know the best way to blend the two using photoshop. Is there a certain type of photo background I should use? ie White? Probably explained that badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I've been wondering this for a while, is there a name for this sort of art style? It's mostly vector and uses little to none shadowing and stale colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 reminds me vaguely of pop art but not being a designer i can offer no further assitance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronz Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) I absolutely love that! Nice work mate Do you gots a portfolio/body of work I can look through?

Matthew62 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I've been wondering this for a while, is there a name for this sort of art style? It's mostly vector and uses little to none shadowing and stale colours. I presume you haven't done this......? It's is just vector based illustration. However there is tonnes of shadowing and i don't see where you're getting stale colours from as the teal and orange are quite bold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Nope I haven't haha. I know it's vector, but thats not an art style, that the method used to create it. About the colours, they always seem a little "flat". Black for example is never fully black, but a dark shade of grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) It's not the method used to create it, it is in fact a type of mathematical formula used to display graphic information. The method would probably be primarily the pen tool within illustrator using it to create vectored shapes. Without being entirely pedantic that image is now in fact a rasterized image. I said illustration was the overall area, and in terms of stylistic approach, that is up for debate. If i said 'contemporary character design' would that help you sleep at night? It's whatever it is. Vectored illustrations often do look flat due to there very nature. There is no original light source to create genuine shadow and highlight details so everything has to be falsified to create an image with depth. This is why vectors tend to work best when they're used with stark implementation to make the most of the technique. Real depth requires a lot of work, but it can be done. I have created some pretty 'deep' illustrations which were formed from vector graphics - but this image we are talking about does contain a lot of shadowing and does have depth. Not all vector graphics look flat - maybe you need your monitor calibrated? It all depends on the CMYK (or rgb if for web) breakdown used. In this image there is no black used. The darkest areas (dark brown) have a CMYK breakdown of: C: 50 R: 60 M: 82 G: 2 Y: 74 B: 0 K: 75 so this is a very rich colour and should appear on your monitor and in print as very saturated.

tomturd Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Does anyone fancy having a go at bringing the TF logo into this decade? There's no prizes I'm afraid, just bragging rights If anyone is interested, here is a template to work from: The logo can expand down into the bit next to the 'Forums' link (as it does on the current skin). Would be muchos appreciated, my skills are very much so in codes rather than pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Wow, 4 bolt sprocket, never noticed that. Needs to be a freewheel. Yep.

Matthew62 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I'll take a look at this later. What sort of styling are you after. Something a lot more current? Cleaner, more minimal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 Nice one Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. If the background gradients or anything are giving you hassle (or you think it would look better if done a bit differently) then feel free to change them too - they're not set in stone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah i'm not really working with a gradient, more just creating a straight logo to be placed as suitable for now. Everything will be done in black for now to get an idea of layout/styling etc. If anything is chosen then it can progress from there to make a more finished, complete piece. Shadowing, gradient, etc t'aint where i'm really going - i think a suitable shift to 2011 needs to see clean, sharp design that is a bit more universal.

Matthew62 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Here's a few various on a theme. These are just a quick mock-up of an initial idea just for a taster.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Fan of the 2nd idea there. First looks a bit to 'play-like' (?) and 3rd looks a bit corporate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvil270183 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I agree with the middle one being better. I think it might read better reversed. At the moment it appears to be "co.uk.trialsforum." Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Not sure i want to focus on the freewheel idea whilst it is one of the major development in trials over the past years. I'd like to incorporate an element about what this place is....'a forum' and have that working in the logo alongside bike related imagery. That's what will be going in to the next design! I agree with the middle one being better. I think it might read better reversed. At the moment it appears to be "co.uk.trialsforum." Just a thought. The layout doesn't work as well like this though. The T and F in mine sit in to the freewheel whereas the other way everything is unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
