What program do you use?

Which programs work/are the best for threadless subs?

schleb on Mar 18 '07 at 11:50pm

i use photoshop. lots of people use illustrator. i would, but i don't have it.

valorandvellum on Mar 18 '07 at 11:50pm

Illustrator or Photoshop. I have a tutorial on coloring in Photoshop if you need it!

shesJACK on Mar 18 '07 at 11:50pm

ehh i use photoshop.

peater on Mar 18 '07 at 11:51pm

I swear that this is one of the most popular questions people ask around here.

that and how they pick prints.

valorandvellum on Mar 18 '07 at 11:52pm

I use Photoshop too. Except on one sub when I used Illustrator. Depends on your style, really, for which one's the best.

valorandvellum on Mar 18 '07 at 11:57pm

Yeah, peater... I see this question every other day, I think. At least it's just a short answer!

valorandvellum on Mar 18 '07 at 11:58pm

bananaphone on Mar 19 '07 at 12:45am

Actually I have been heavily involved in webdesign and programming for the past 12 years dickface.

valorandvellum on Mar 19 '07 at 12:45am

Sent one back, Vlad.

I want to know what bananananaphone was going to post... was it a tutorial?

bananaphone on Mar 19 '07 at 12:46am

simply put and discovered, you can't link straight to blog search results just by copying the url line.

J-Ray on Mar 19 '07 at 12:47am

hahaha good job, i guess you can still learn something after 12 years!

nice to have you back.. i miss your 3rd grade insults.

valorandvellum on Mar 19 '07 at 12:48am

That's weird. One would think that you could. What is kw program??

schleb on Mar 19 '07 at 12:50am

it means you searched with the keyword "program"

valorandvellum on Mar 19 '07 at 12:52am

Wow, schleb knows all! schleb even knows about how they pick the winning designs! Haha.

schleb on Mar 19 '07 at 12:52am

oh you flatter me.

priscilla

just replied

thanks again!

minnanda on Mar 19 '07 at 1:26am

Is it possible to submit a design without using either of those programs? Just a simple one? Jasc PSP 7 for instance. I dont have either of those programs but i do have a design[in progress] that i want to sub for the Descent Into Rapture contest.

J-Ray on Mar 19 '07 at 1:29am

You could use anything!

minnanda on Mar 19 '07 at 1:32am

Thanks J-ray, i'm a big fan of your stuff by the way. Good luck with that sock monkey sub[i was just looking at it], very cute.

r.o.b.o.t.i.c.octopus on Mar 19 '07 at 2:03am

i use Photoshop 7 and cs2...

i don't use illustrator 1. dunno how, 2. too sterile...not enough artist in the art from illustrator (usually).

bananaphone on Mar 19 '07 at 3:00am

"You could use anything!"

No, no you couldn't.

Something that is very evident from some of your work.

bananaphone on Mar 19 '07 at 3:03am

I'm just being a bitch, but seriously you can't just design with anything, you need to have your work print ready by the end of it and you can't just do that any old how, it kinda helps if you know what print ready means too.

Robsoul on Mar 19 '07 at 3:04am

here's another good photoshop tutorial

exoticrobotic on Mar 19 '07 at 3:06am

Robsoul on Mar 19 '07 at 3:08am

looks like you lost the battle because you ain't got no subs son

Robsoul on Mar 19 '07 at 3:09am

ah, you switched accts, subs pending I presume.

exoticrobotic on Mar 19 '07 at 3:15am

yea i got a couple pending...taking so long haha

and i this is my new account :)

bananaphone on Mar 19 '07 at 3:32am

"looks like you lost the battle because you ain't got no subs son"

must be deja vu

minnanda on Mar 20 '07 at 1:17am

bananaphone, what exactly IS print ready?

BlameTheSuburbs on Mar 20 '07 at 1:18am

what is print ready?

minnanda on Mar 20 '07 at 1:26am

^ Wondering the same thing. Hah. Well.. does ANYONE know what a design requires in order to get printed? From what i can gather you need the colors seperated on different layers... and... that's all i've gathered.
