Hey, so this is the second part of the " ask the maker" questions and requests. I'm sorry it took me so long but... you'll see, there are a lot of words to make up for that
( Read more... )
Lol for the first time i see a maker who colors EXACTLY like i do :D Curves is one tool you generally see in tutorials and replies to "ask the maker" questions. Selective colors are used by them only to enhance, not to color boldly. And it used to make me insecure about the way i color: maybe i do it wrong or unfair? But lol you gave me an amount of confidence :D Apart from that, i must say i found this post very useful, interesting to read and worth to advise to read when you, for example, reject people in application posts in elites :D Now i've gone too vague, i should stop %)
PS i've always wanted to ask why your username is so Russian, just as your name is? xDDD No, i do know that the name Anna is very popular in Germany, but your username...my German's woren off too much to remember what's the German for "chocolate" :D
Well, I think there's no right or wrong way to abuse photoshop when it's just a hobby and when you just do it for fun. So, IMO, as long as you're happy with the results that you're getting, just keep doing what you're doing.
My username is actually the Hebrew word for chocolate... the German is Schokolade, but I think that was already taken. Also, I wanted something in Hebrew. My parents actually named me after two little girls they saw in a hotel before I was born (at least that's what my mom tells me), Anna and Valentina. Both are kind of Russian to me... idk, I might be wrong. But I don't think I have any Russian relatives or anything. Probably too much information... sorry about that :)
Well, yes, but you know there was a rant about text textures, and it became a shame to use them. So i'm completely lost :D
Oh, i see :D And no, not at all, information is nice :D I was named after my mom's best friend, also Yulia :) Yeah, those girls' names seem Russian, although they could be from Ukraine or Bulgaria as well...
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of text textures. I just don't think that they make a lot of sense on 98% of the icons they're used on. But I don't think that you can categorically say that something is wrong or bad or shouldn't be done. Everything can work if done right.
Well, the origin of your name is a lot nicer than mine than because it's something personal. My parent's just took the names from complete strangers xD But I don't mind. The alternative would have been Maximiliane... which is just too long and prompts too many nick names.
Me neither these days, though i do like some of them *there is one "do nothing", for example, i wish i knew the font used to create it..*. But yeah, i guess that if you want to use text on your icons, learn how to and write something that has actually something to do with the iconed subject :) But then again, i learnt *i hope, at least* how to place a text on an icon by having a period of using text textures :) I can't say i'm sure about my text use, though, that's why you don't see it often on my icons :D I should really stop bending your ears with something you may not even be interested reading about...:D
