About my design

by TruLogo
I really enjoyed the Bonk! design process. Innuendo is fun ;D

Official Alternatives for Whoopie Recommended by the Bureau of Bonk!

Light spirited & subtle like a fart. 6 color screen print.

For those wondering: Why a pig? Popular sentiment tells us: "All men are _ _ _ _."

Bonk on, Ye Peoples of Bonkville. BONK ON!

Okay, this color thing has gotten me curious.

I've just looked at my sub on different computers.

They're not the same.

My home computer shows a significantly different color scheme.

Input welcome regarding your own color configurations for monitor and Adobe Illustrator.

Is it CMYK? I had problems with it on my computer. If it is, try RGB and upload to the critique section to see if it looks different. Also when I save for web I push the levels 13-16% before I do so it doesn't look washed out. Anyway, great work.
TruLogo

Yes, it's CMYK. I'll try RGB soon.

When you say "push the levels 13-16%" how do you mean

Are you saying the same thing as valorandvellum aka Priscilla Wilson's Photoshop Coloring Tutorial:

http://www.threadless.com/profile/387417/valorandvellum/blog/181779/Photoshop_Coloring_Tutorial



(I'm actually using a scanned, vectorized & color bucket'ed image in Adobe Illustrator)



ie:

3. Go to Image: Adjustments: Levels. A dialogue box will pop up. You will see a bunch of peaks and valleys. Pull the left arrow towards the closest peak. Pull the right arrow towards its closest peak. You should see your image become more contrasty.

@TruLogo, No, valor's direction is for adjusting a scan of a drawing so the lines become cleaner and the grays (smudges) fade away.



I was talking about saving the finished image for subbing. When you save for web, if the preview gif is lighter than the the original, go back and click on image/adjustment/levels, move the black triangle on the left towards the center about 13-19%. The image will go darker/richer. Save again for web and see if the gif preview (on the right)more accurately resembles the original design (on the left).



With this design, I think you might try moving the center triangle in levels towards the left in order to reduce the color richness/saturation shown here.



I hope that helps. And again, great thinking and rendering here.

Okay quister

I think that (push the levels 13-16%) and going RGB will help control the colors better

Thanks very much
