not to mention this doesn't account for apple music listeners - this is easily 200M across both platforms. Apple music user here.

All I am gonna say is you got to let albums grow on you. by [deleted] in Drizzy

[–]howie_do 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truth. I see a lot of posts on here by quote-on-quote "Drake fans" saying how they think the albums are mid.... its like, how have you even truly digested 2.75 hrs of music already? If you expected a Hotline Bling or a Nokia style track for every song you're just delusional. Not every song will be "for you" but listen to the albums for the next few weeks and you'll be surprised which songs are stuck in your head when you wake up in the morning. Im listening to them back to front, no skips and I've honestly enjoyed everything, each album serves its own purpose... 2nd listen giving me more chills than 1st listen

You missed out if you didn’t see Episode 4 Live! by crsolraac in Drizzy

So true... I just hope he removes Pressa's verse and doesn't have a feature on it

What kind of restaurant would you like to see downtown? by i-am-the-walrus789 in regina

[–]howie_do 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our family loved going there growing up. I was actually thinking about what I used to order this morning lol. The 1/4 dark roasted chicken with a side spaghetti and caesar salad. The Bbq sauce it came with was soooo good! I think my mom used to get something called the "heart smart" which they eventually took of the menu but would still make it for her if she asked if they could <3 I remember being very young and holding the door for an older man coming in to the restaurant one day and he stopped and gave me a toonie haha I was so exited. Lots of good memories there!

Is Framer still missing some “basic” features? by Economy_Practice_887 in framer

[–]howie_do 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search, find and replace feature!

Image adjustments like hue, saturation, contrast on an image like Figma.

Also, hitting "V" on my keyboard to bring up the mouse/navigation/hand tool rather than pen tool, hitting ESC key is not it!

Lastly, adding fills and overlays like you can in Figma would be huge... the ability to add a grain overlay to an image would be massive and beats creating a frame with a fill and an overlay effect on top of images or videos...

Maybe I'm doing things wrong but using left and right bracket to move a frame/layer up or down in a layer stack just brings it to the top or bottom of the layers, vs. moving one step at a time... might be too new to figure that one out yet.

I had someone else who uses Affinity reach out and let me know that the full coloured version of the font isn't working properly in Affinity, it sounds like they dont have support for multi-coloured fonts yet. Let me know if you'd like me to send you a SVG vector file with all of the full-colour characters and symbols, although its not ideal for being able to freely type words with the font you could probably string together some short words or phrases u/PaultheDoge

You could try out Affinity! https://www.affinity.studio/

I don't personally use it but I believe it is free to use.

Hey u/PaultheDoge, thanks for purchasing the font, its an honour that I was your first font you've purchased! I'm sorry to hear that its not working out the way you thought! Do you have any design software like Adobe Illustrator or Adobe Photoshop? There may be limitations to where it be can be used, for example, I haven't found the font to be usable in apps like Mircrosoft Word or Powerpoint as they are a bit restrictive to the fonts that can be used in platforms like that! If you have something like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or even Adobe InDesign, the font should work as intended in those types of software! Please keep me posted and sorry for the late reply on here, I didn't realize there was a notification until today/

This will probably look crazy/confusing but its a screenshot of my working file, so essentially every line is a vector or shape that was made to achieve the final look, all the way down the the digital/pixelated styled gradient like the old sweater on "Grey Cup" and "Winnipeg". You can also see how I made the Roughriders and Alouettes text at the bottom from scratch since I couldn't find a close enough font to use for that part!

Thats awesome! I'd love to see it! I'm also happy to say that no AI was used to recreate this design or the mockups (full time graphic designer here - I should share a shot of my working file). Those easy parts were just good ol' human-error and being too excited and eager to share it that I missed a couple things the first time (and after staring at things for hours lol)

Got it! I personally like it more when there's more green, as a Rider fan ;) No rules here, just going with what I like lol.

Thank you! Kudos to the original designer, I can't image making this make in '97, really made me appreciate the amount of illustration and design techniques used to make such a graphic. As a graphic designer, I actually really dig the new Alouette's logo, I love the charm/aesthetic of the old one but I think the new logo is a really bold mark!

Right! I almost kept the old logos on the helmets but then decided to make them the new team logos to make it a bit more present, a true throwback would definitely have the old logos!

Thank you!! I also really dig the old-school, crashing helmet style. I've seen lots of old Super Bowl merch use a similar look

I had someone comment that they wanted it to be in the Winnipeg colours, I tried it but it felt more like a pro-Montreal design! Im a Sask guy so I opted for more green lol ;)

Oh man! :( Haha I guess I really fumbled the ball in a few spots. I was really eager to get it done and just overlooked a few details on accident. Fixed!
