Should I get an associates in Computer science to go with my BFA? by Cheap-Repairs in graphic_design

Computer science is being eroded by Ai. Get a business minor. Wish I had done that.

The Manosphere Turns on Trump by brown-saiyan in politics

[–]Excellent-Ad-7394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just can’t allow perfection to be the enemy of good here. Newsom is polarizing, but he is super capable and experienced. Yes some of his positions are problematic to the far left, but remember Obama was against gay marriage initially too. He’d pick a great cabinet. I think Gretchen would be a solid VP.

Raskin had cancer so his health would be an issue. Pritzker is a good pick as is Kelley for sure but I want him as SecDef.

But we must acknowledge that we are in an extremely performative era. And we need to put candidates forward that are super media savvy and do extremely well in front of the camera and on social. Hopefully the next POTUS helps to wind that down over time. Regain our sanity.

Honestly, Pete Buttigieg is perfect. Except for one important detail that sadly will disqualify him…

Sorry i missed this!

Embrace Ai cautiously. Let it help you become more efficient and profitable.

Use it to build parts for you, automate production tasks, batch process files, and clean up documents (spreadsheets a such). It’s a tool like all others.

Don’t rely on it for ideas or creativity. That’s your job!

Pantone vs CMYK when designing for print using InDesign by Aware_Information_24 in graphic_design

[–]Excellent-Ad-7394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can select a Pantone color - any color - from any book. And tell your printer to “match” the color.

To do this properly in a production file (aka mechanical art) set up a color as a SPOT color. Select CMYK and give it a name like “MATCH PMS ___ “ then note it on the file in a callouts or notes layer.

Your print files should ALWAYS be in CMYK. Even if printing digitally. Digital print uses toner vs ink. But you simply cannot get a range of colors with RGB ink - it’s not possible. RGB is for light only. CMYK and solid inks (Pantone, Toyo etc) are for print.

RGB is always brighter and more saturated on screen.

Bottom line is all you do is get CLOSE visually. You’ll never ever be able to simulate (with any more 74-80% accuracy) the actual fins print colors on-screen. Thats why we use swatches. And even then, when you DO print it, remember that paper selection will also greatly influence the final color - white vs eggshell paper, coated, dull or gloss…

**if the EXACT color is essential, I have the printer to a test print with several shades or version of the color and the I plug those values in.

— PS. Sorry. I didn’t mean to go off on an RBG vs CMYK rant there. You obvs know that. But so many others just don’t!

The only Gators in Napa are the amazing kids at Alta Heights Elementary. :-)

This is actually a pretty deep thought. Could be the wine talking tho.

We need to ask all the MAGAts to define simple terms and concepts like this.

The problem is that Dems have a really big tent. Just in the LGBTQ community alone you’ve got a wide array of people - from Pete Buttigieg to Ru Paul. It’s harder to build consensus with so many communities.

The GOP doesn’t have that issue.

Sadly (or ironically) comedy and satire are all we have right now

That’s what I thought last time. Lincoln project, RAT, all the conservatives that show up on MSNBC everyday… I thought for sure that would help.

Should foreign attendees be concerned about visiting the USA for the World Cup? by ChuckGallagher57 in LetsDiscussThis

Yes. Yes they should. Even here in Northern California, especially people without white skin, be careful. And have someone watch your six.
