Save your work often...

I was stuck in pub lab for an hour, so I started playing around with banners for our newspaper. I liked where this one was going, and just when I found a sweet arctic circle diagram to put on it, I got this (I hadn't saved since it was a blank canvas):

You have no idea how many rounds of distortion it took to make a shadow I could be happy with (on the dashed line to the x). Print Screen is my new best friend! I had to do a little surgery, but I was able to turn it back into this:

I'm no stranger to PS crashing (though the CS we have on the newspaper comps seems extra prone), but it's usually quick and relatively painless. Seeing your work sitting on the screen and not being able to save it adds a whole new level of swearing.

Wtf? Uprise? Did you copy my name?

Other way around, actually. He joined on the first, you joined on the 9th.

The banner looks pretty cool. Makes me want to go treasure hunting. Or just finish reading The Alchemist.

lol a new level of swearing that made me laughed.
Looks good man! good thing you got it back. the shadow you got looks sweet i like the whole concept of it.

I made the name Uprising around 2005.

The overall effect of this is very good indeed. The colours are well chosen (why is Firefox telling me COLOUR is a spelling error - damned US dictionary - bracketed rant over), but I would suggest one try to blend them in a bit (and i dont mean blur or layer effect) to the design itself, try and make it appear as though it is printed onto the paper.

oh and bradley - why has the girl in your sig got only one tit? :P

You didn't coin it as an online name first i'm sure. So get back on topic.

Not to be a dick, but I like how you think that matters. It's a name. Big deal.

Neat. I like it.

Not to be a dick? Too late for that one.

Last year I undergo Lasik surgery for my nearsightedness and like the concern of other people im not comfortable in wearing contacts because my eyes are sensitive for infection so my friend recommend me for Lasik exam in my2020 have you heard that? The exam includes a complete evaluation of the internal and external health of the eyes. They create a detailed map of the eyes and perform all of the visual tests necessary to prepare for LASIK. And the nice thing with Lasik-1 is they use the latest, most advanced technology to thoroughly determine your eligibility for LASIK. I don’t know if you already heard a Dr. Stephen B. Wiles, he is one of the surgeons and I can say one of the best in the world. Anyway just try to have a schedule exam for a FREE VIP LASIK your first step in achieving improved vision. Hope that one help you. Good luck…
