[Graphics] Yes and No: Finding pictures

SECRET Tutorials

Yes and No

when it comes to a poster.


When it comes to doing a poster, there are some simple things that we need to remember, in order to do a good job.

The first and maybe most important one is to always use high quality pictures. Yes, we know that sometimes we can't find a decent HQ picture of the characters in our stories *coughKAIcough* but we always need to aim in getting the best pictures possible.

The same thing goes when we talk about renders/pngs as well. If you see the perfect render, but when you click on it, you see that it's for example 50x50...well, you have to let it go and look for another one. I know, it's painful, but sometimes we need to make sacrifices.

When it comes to me, Kate_Sunshine, I think that 75% of the work on a poster is in finding the best pictures. Sometimes this may take a whole day.  Is it worth it after that? Most of the times no, you just have to go on another search.

there is a big difference between this:

and this:

 Because this becomes this after resized: 

See the difference? The first picture is perfect in size and quality while the second is only perfect in quality. The problem about the second is that when resized, the quality will also be lost. So if you ever want to do a poster, have some time on your mind that will be only for image searching. I would suggest google and tumblr when it comes to photo shoots (I will give links below) and Deviantart when it comes to renders and pngs. 

 

Also, always click on the image before saving. Sometimes it may cost you a lot of nerves if you don't save in full size.

Chapter 13: Can I send in the homework as well? :3
(I actually blended, but since I usually use renders instead of blending, I guess the task should be reversed for me :P)

Chapter 5: Hi, I'm a new subscriber here lmao and I'd like to ask for an advice: I just came back from a looong hiatus and got back to rewriting my fic. I have known that my title "Rain" is so overused and I had really wanted to change it. However, I fear somehow that maybe my old subs wouldn't recognize my story or something? I had also, kind of, set the plot basing on the title already. Sooo question, do you think it's advisable to change story titles, especially when they were published long ago and when it's not even completed yet?

Chapter 5: I've got a question. What about titles that combine two different languages? No, I don't mean putting Korean in the title.
I want to start a story called "Stuk and Left in Pieces". Stuk is the Dutch word for broken.
Do you have any advice for this?
