7. When did you become interested in designing?
2008ish, first design was made on 20/3/2008 (A fantasy soccer shirt)

8. What is your favourite design piece (yours/someones elses/a club)?
Mine: Probably the Western Warrior Dogs pre-season design which has been reused/redesigned multiple times, or the Mascot manor set due to the amount of time/commitment I had in creating them.

Someone elses: Mowscot Manor without a doubt

Club: AFL - Hawthorns original hawks head design, was unique and as has been seen was a catalyst for other clubs (who never got to the same level), I have too many other designs from other sports to mention here.

9. What is your whale (footy jumper)?
Can't say I have a whale in AFL jumpers, and I don't know if I really have one for any sport, there are ones I want, but nothing I crave.

10. If you could change one thing about modern footy, what would it be?
Can't say that there is anything I would change.

11. What is your favourite past-time (other than Australian Rules)?
Sport

12. What is the dumbest thing you ever bought?
World of Warcraft - Played for about 2 hours and never picked it up again. Stupid game.

13. Who is your favourite poster on BigFooty?
Each poster on here brings something different to the table so I cannot pick just one.

14. If you were a BigFooty moderator for one day, what would you do?
Something that would almost certainly make sure I was never asked to do it again!!!

15. What is your favourite possession?
My favourite possession is not a jersey/guernsey or anything like that. It is my Pound Puppy which I was given when I was in the USA back in 1988, I was 4 and had lost my teddy bear at Houston airport during a stopover between LA and Washington DC. The people who my family stayed with gave me it as I was really upset when we arrived. On the final day I went back to them to give it back (thinking it was only a loan) only to be told that I could keep it, and it has been with me ever since (and will be for the rest of my life).

16. If you were in a band, what would you call it?
I don't know why but I have always thought the name "Diamond in the Rough" is a good band name.

17. Where did you go on your last holiday? Would you go back?
Townsville, yes but only because I have family up there (the heat and humidity is just ridiculous)

18. If you had to make a compilation album, which song would you have as
Track Number 1?
Depends on the purpose of the compilation, but you can't go wrong with Bon Jovi.

19. Who are 5 people (dead or alive) you would invite to a dinner party?
Jesus, Sir Michael Parkinson, Jeremy Clarkson, Robin Williams and Tina Fey

20. What tops your 'bucket list' (ie 1 thing you *must* do before you die)?
Travel the world. I have only ever been to the USA (twice) but I want to see so many more places.

[SFgiant]

waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy off topic, but can someone understand photoshop enough to do textures like these? PM or post back and ill send the logos

 

[BennyW]

Why does my local sports outlet have gws giants tops on sale?
They were $30 @ rebel sport in ballarat, They also had all there jumpers for $30

The store might be closing down ??

 

[PAFC_04]

Sorry, really stupid question. Seeing as the flavour of the month is photoshop, I've downloaded the free trial to give it a crack. Where do I find the newer templates which people use (new ISC, Reebok, etc.)? Had a look on the universal template thread and couldn't really find any

Thinking I might stick to paint too. This shit's whacked!

 

[Andonis1997]

So you've checked out the layers box on the bottom right corner??

 

[PAFC_04]

I had no real problems making a design I was just interested where I could find the 'new style' templates, such as the one that you made that Carlton home in

 

[Andonis1997]

Anyone have a PAFC monogram I can use?

Here's one from MOTW. Pie Machine's entry BTW.

 

[PAFC_04]

Cheers mate

Where abouts did you get that template you were using from though (I think you posted a Carlton guernsey in the RCT or something?)

 

[Gibbsy]

If you downloaded Mullygrub's PS template, all the different manufacturers are in the one file. You just have to click on the eye next to the layer to show/hide it.

 

[Andonis1997]

Mullygrub's edited Gava templates. Should be on the Template thread.

Ah ok, didn't see that in the thread. Must've missed it or the browser was playing up. Cheers guys

 

[PAFC_04]

THAT TEMPLATE IS F*CKING AMAZING!!! Can't wait to play around with it heaps these holidays A few little things missing but as I work out how to use things better I'm sure I'll be able to work out how to add them myself. Just wish it worked on my elements May have to get around to acquiring a proper copy somewhere soon

 

[PAFC_04]

Alright photoshop guys, how do I create my own 'templates' on photoshop? I'm trying to create a prison bars guernsey and I'm not quite sure how. I've made up some prison bars with boxes and then selected the inverse of 'base' (using Mullygrub's template) to cut away the excess, but its all really shitty and 'jagged' around the side of the guernsey How do I make something a bit cleaner? In fact, the whole prison bars are 'simplified'

 

[Andonis1997]

Try using lines, making the size around 10 px. That's how I'd probably do it.

Don't use photoshop.
It's like AI. If you can't use it, why bother?
You dullards can be persuaded to use other software.

Hahaha, very nice ochre

 

[BennyW]

Dumb question probly, but does anyone know how make a diagonal box in PS ??

 

[Gibbsy]

If you're struggling that much in Photoshop then just go back to Paint imo. Nobody's forcing you to use PS. People accustom better with different programs, PS is meant to be very advanced. If you are struggling to draw a diagonal line then maybe a move back to using Paint would be beneficial.

I believe that Photoshop seems to be the flavour of the month and that everyone is trying to use it, with varying success.
