jack 498 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Each week I will post a challenge or technique for people to learn about and implement in their work. The idea is to help people improve their graphics while helping their player. If you had a sig graded with 5 or fewer TPE in the week of Dec. 8th-15th, you may claim 1 TPE from completing this task. Week 1: Starting Simple Your challenge this week is to great a sig without using stocks, other than the player render. This will teach you to learn about composition, planning, and using Photoshop's built in features. Here is a list of ideas for you to try: Using typography to enhance the signature. Using smudging effects and taking advantage of Photoshop's brush engine. Creating lighting without stocks. Using adjustment layers to create a complete-looking piece. Example: To claim this task, you must first post the work, then at the end of the week I will post a list of people who are eligible and completed the task. You will then link to that post in your update thread. boubabi, Victor, Schneiderman and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15455-vhl-graphics-workshop-week-1/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
boubabi 4,725 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Jackim god level. I really like this and I'll likely give some tips too. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15455-vhl-graphics-workshop-week-1/#findComment-163508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Baller 440 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 this is a great idea ! Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15455-vhl-graphics-workshop-week-1/#findComment-163706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioner Beketov 9,025 Posted December 15, 2014 Commissioner Share Posted December 15, 2014 Love this idea. I would potentially like to offer an addition to it though. Since the people learning the techniques can get 1 TPE (capped I presume) from the task, why not offer 1 TPE (also capped for sure) to anyone who is willing to write (or better yet, screen capture) a lesson for the week. It doesn’t have to be related to the task of the week but could help in future ones. For example, I could put up a smudging or depth tutorial, Boubabi a stock work or smudging, etc. Just an idea.

It would be nice to have a fully stocked section with tutorials from all of the experienced people. If we can get the payout approved I can definitely try to do up a tutorial tomorrow. Either on depth or related to the task of the week. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15455-vhl-graphics-workshop-week-1/#findComment-163721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jala 922 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This is eerie, I was just going to see if I could find tutorials to help me get some help making sigs, and I see this! Having tutorials would be great as I have troubles with some of those.

jack 498 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) This is like the one technique i dont use time for me to learn i guess Not as a much a technique as a challenge. Gets you to try to take advantage of what Photoshop has to offer without piling stocks on.

I meant like stuff using the render itself. I take advantage of stocks all the time. Im not really good at brush work or render effects. But im gonna try this even though i cant get tpe jack 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/15455-vhl-graphics-workshop-week-1/#findComment-163737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
