A Warm Night In Class

March 15, 2012 By Paul Yeatman

Thanks to our classroom turning us all into popsicles due to an overactive unconfigurable airconditioning system, class was held on some “park benches” within the facility. This made things cosy as I did not have to out on any pants until around 20:30hrs. This semester I’ve ridden all by one night, and that one was when we had an InDeisgn user group presenation at another venue.

So, to photoshop. I did a test print of my brakes and it turns out they are too small. A good thing the base colours have been vectored using the pen tool. Resising the imge make the edges a bit pixelly. That will be fixed quite easily.

Illustrator kept crashing on startup. I think it did not like some other software (photoshop!) running on my system. Pressing <cntl> <alt> and <shift> eventually got things working again.

Check out the WIP for images of where I am up to. Two weeks to go. That went fast for this subject!
