Taps = instant print

Raid71 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:10am

Helter Skullter is my fav though

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:21am

thanks chris, i kind of like 'the duke' and 'helter skullter' too, but my predictions of what my top scorers will be are always wrong :/

DaleEdwin on Dec 05 '08 at 7:24am

Yeah I think taps will score really well. Taps is also the one for me. Could you let me into the secret of how you did the lines on that piece?

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:26am

sure, i got some ink blots on a bit of paper then blew them down the sheet, scanned it and live traced it after a little bit of threshold in photoshop.

5$-love the simplicity and brightness

2-sorry, a little common and generic, but the characters are cute

5$-amazing type

4-cool graphic but i'd never buy and wear that colour

DaleEdwin on Dec 05 '08 at 7:29am

LOL! - I understand you want to keep it close to your chest!

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:30am

thanks leon. i know what you mean about the character one - it was more an experiment for me in trying another style out. good fun to do though.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

hands down "the duke speaks" is my favoritest!

Raid71 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:34am

is this recession giving you loads of spare time??

DaleEdwin on Dec 05 '08 at 7:36am

Oh I understand what you mean! I meant how did you do the lines on Helter Skulter?!

TheInfamousBaka on Dec 05 '08 at 7:41am

Helter is awesome and my favorite. :) Love taps though, and I think it will score well. Neat how you got those lines! :D

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:41am

aahhhh! sorry dale, i thought you meant the taps one.

helter skulter just uses the blend function in illustrator. it's pretty easy tbh, just draw two curvy lines, then do a 'specified steps' blend between them (under the 'object' menu)

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 7:42am

yeah chris, the recession is great threadless subs but crap for business :(

it does seem to be picking back up though, i think people just panicked for a month or so there. although i'm doing press ads for Take That right now, so I'd rather be quiet ;)

DaleEdwin on Dec 05 '08 at 7:46am

Thanks mate. Scored and commented

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 8:06am

thanks dale, nice one

tesco on Dec 05 '08 at 8:07am

life is helter skelter

nikolina100 on Dec 05 '08 at 8:08am

being busy works well for you :D

Raid71 on Dec 05 '08 at 8:25am

we've got busier again this month, still not sure if it's recession of seasonal (it always seems a bit daft around Christmas)

Bet you've got free ticket to watch Take That as well ;-)

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 8:36am

haha, front rows seats mate

tesco on Dec 05 '08 at 9:28am

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 9:43am

was it the dog? he's getting clever�

tesco on Dec 05 '08 at 10:03am

not hat was my ~~esteemed~~ mug collegue

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 10:11am

got a few of those myself mate

new one pending up top too. far too late for the horror comp, but other wise it would just be sitting around so fuck it.

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 10:38am

another new one pending

The Paper Crane on Dec 05 '08 at 10:44am

I'll take the long and winding road!!!

Raid71 on Dec 05 '08 at 10:56am

bloody help!! you have been busy, hope the Take That design doesn't suffer as a consequence

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 11:37am

i'm sure it'll be as crap and formulaic as it needs to be!

steven218 on Dec 05 '08 at 2:49pm

bump for the new pending subs

steven218 on Dec 06 '08 at 2:13pm

bump for sugar and spice - now in the running

steven218 on Dec 07 '08 at 12:56pm

fuck me - double fail.

i almost expected it fr the character dross, but i thought the Duke was in with a shout of staying the distance

4 days later

steven218 on Dec 12 '08 at 8:05am

last three of my flurry in the running now.

so far i've got two massive score fails, and only one made past the seven days.

let's see how these go (i have my doubts about boris).
