Drink suggestions for New Year's Eve? Not a huge fan of beer, prefer Canadian Club and Captain Morgan if that helps. Have given cask a go recently but don't want to go down that route again hahah.

Kraken + coke my guy, it's just a better cap morgan and when you get the right mix it is absolutely ooft

fireball + coke or lemonade if you wanna just **** your shit up for the night. remember to mix many different spirits through the night and hoof back into the beers at about 2am. have a cocktail or 7, treat yourself.

 

[The_torpedo]

Probably gonna blast through the 3 pack of whiskey i got for xmas last year.

kraken and dry with lime is the real baller move.

I've never even given that a thought. That's very exciting

your life will be changed. kraken is wasted on coke. don’t get me wrong, kraken and coke is still good but missed opportunity not going dry and lime as it really brings out the nice spices in the rum.

Alcohol for NYE? Pffft! I'll be rocking them zzzz's like all the other cool kids.

I usually dodge dry cause too much CC+d messes with my stomach the day after (i.e. after grog bog is rough af) but I am partial to a good mix. might sit on this while playing some cod later in the week

Is Kraken big over in Perth? In Melbourne it's pretty common but i was over in WA a few weeks back and probably ventured through 10 different joints in my time there and without fail there was always a proudly displayed bottle of it, whereas fireball/ jd fire is everywhere here but i only found it once there.

yeah spiced rums are pretty big here, whereas any sort of speciality whiskey (cinnamon, honey etc) is usually reserved for 16-21 year olds at house parties who will be making bad life choices so less promotion I suppose.

 

[Rubber Arm]

Sneaked heaps of random alcohol into the festival I'm at. Mixed Midori, Vodka and solo together. Actually really nice

Did you go down the yoghurt pouches route or another way?

Fight me

It is remarkably easy to get grog into festivals, I just dropped a slab of mercury into the spare wheel well of my car and swapped a goon bag for the bagged water you can get at woolies and a couple bottles of spirits in the bottom of my bag

 

[Craegus]

Craegus Designs have today unveiled their new brand logo to begin appearing on designs in 2020. The current logo is being retired as a brand logo and will revert to a personal logo going forward. Expect to start seeing the new logo appearing on 2020 designed items with the current design still existing on designs that were created during 2019 but will not debut until 2020.

Along with the new logo comes a change in the brands colour scheme. The Prussian Blue and Bright Green are out, being replaced with Jungle Mist (a blue tinted grey), Razzmatazz (redish pink) and Nero (a near black grey). These colours are the brands base set, but as with the former logo, the colours will change and adapt with different designs for better integration.

Didnt even get searched so I could have just had an esky on the back seat haha. Doesn't matter though, the festival got cancelled after one night any way

[META] This got dicussed a few pages ago, but I want to bring it up again:

I feel that an update for the tutorials and templates threads are very much needed. Most of, if not all of them are at least 5+ years old and a fair bit has changed since then on all programs. Not to mention a lot of images are now missing/deleted (and probably have been deleted from everyone's laptop/desktop etc).

Thoughts?

I think the reason for this is that the majority of longer term designers on here are either using their own templates or ones that are not readily available so have no need to create tutorials for templates that are not freely available. This then has left the newer designers to have a different experience on here to what it was like 5 years ago when the majority were all using the same set of templates.

I mean I had no problems following Gatsby's tutorials. Never talked to the guy but his directions were quite clear even to someone who was relatively new to Photoshop. Just comes down to experience which can't be taught, and knowledge, which can be gathered from asking designers or online.

 

[Freight Train]

probably time to start filming some tutorials now I’m retired.

Greater Gattsby you've left a legacy

Could you give us an MS Paint tutorial? I really struggle with gradients in Word

make sure you do those ones where you don't speak at all and just use notepad on your computer to give all the instructions, far easier to follow.

Nah left the wheel in, place the tins around the rim and the gap between tyre and the rest of the well, was thinking to take it out but it'd be just my luck.
