barbieq25 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Really good outcomes. They are so hard to do. I love the starfield in the second one. Adore the cheeky new sig/avvie too! Well done!

minners71 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Thanks for stopping by Yellowman,Sharp,Nanette,Helen and barbieq and I will read through that info you linked to Sharp and see if it helps Not sure if anyone has noticed but I started to change my sig weekly ( every Monday ) thought it would help me be more creative and it has ( I now have about 20 sigs and avi combos waiting in the wings ) I am also trying to do some larger works but having such an ancient computer does not help took me 25 mins the other day to apply a gaussian blur to a 1920 x 1080 image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 25 minutes?! That's a long time. Sounds like my old computer I had a few years ago where a lot of my work caused it to crash several times. It worked like molasses, too. Maybe you can get a new one soon?

minners71 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 @Helen and Jim, unfortunately I don't have the funds at the moment for a new PC @Red, No I don't but I will soon although blurs are the least of my worries most plug ins or effects take 1-2 minutes to even open up yet alone use and resizing is another very slow process, some times so slow that my PC just freezes and becomes unresponsive. here is a snap shot of my beast of a machine.

barbieq25 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Minners I have not been on much in the last few months but that is another tale. Most certainly that is an old pc but you are still churning out great images. I remember when mine was like that too & I was pleased that at least I had that much. I hope that something good will come your way after what you have been through & I am pleased you are still here with us. Big hug to you. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

minners71 Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks Helen and Welshblue Didn't need to choose them they are the colours on my new mountain bike so thank GIANT for that made quite a few new sigs with the inspiration coming from my bike ( funny where it comes from sometimes ) sadly they were on my work comp in the same folder as my logo of the week entries and also got deleted by the numbskull at work am going to try a recovery program when I get in today, so fingers crossed. As for the logo of the week files I have redone them and to be honest I feel they are better than the originals, so not too angry with the numbskull although the sig work I'm not sure if I can even remember them all Largest work so far inspired by one of my logo's in the latest comp its in full HD but I don't think photobucket allows them to upload in that size. http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af227/minners71/genesisnoname.png Edited August 12, 2012 by minners71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minners71 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Oh well both recovery programs failed me found loads of pics that I had deleted months ago but the ones I were looking for were PDN files and neither found any of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm sorry to hear about the lost files. On the bright side, however, you keep making such awesome images. Your sigs are stunning to look at and when I visit this forum, I look forward to viewing your newest one. Obsession? Nah. I just like to see nice work from people.

HELEN Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I didn't mean you had an obsession, I was referring to myself. lol And no, you do NOT have an obsession. I really, truly admire that you create new sigs each time.

barbieq25 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Love the new sig too. I like what you did with the Genesis image too. Bit of a mind bender that one & like Welshy, love the colours! I am sorry to hear you've lost work. That is really frustrating! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Aislin Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 your last one is amazing! I love the shapes and the colors I know what you mean with a bad computer... I have a 4 year old ACER ASPIRE ONE (notebook) with a bad Hanns.G monitor attached... and I must say, these notbooks are not created to photoshop... But still, with a lot of patience I manage to do larger images...

Here are my other logos for the logo of the week challenge no.5 ( took so long messing about with them that I forgot the deadline ) And at the very last moment came up with these 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 A wonderful array of Logos and not a jaggy in sight!

minners71 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks Nanette I liked that one as well but my fav was the obsidian one. Just noticed you are from the Isle of Man how I envy you, do you watch the TT races every year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Obsidian, Osiris & Gateway would have to be my fave of them but the infinity ones are great since they are a play on words for me at least. I love the ones on the grey background. Oh dang! They are all so good in their own right. I can see how you had a hard time sticking to one for the comp.
