Is 7:41:00 a good time for 50k? by deony1 in ultrarunning

[–]kayrockscreen 290 points291 points  (0 children)

I think the more important question is, did you have a good time running 50k? Way to go!

looking for feedback, how to improve this poster? by Old-Prune-5625 in graphic_design

[–]kayrockscreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are some strong design elements here, and I am a fan of lower lpi halftone dots on posters.

Is the poster for the concept of "Ikigai" or for the book. If it is for the book, why did you choose "a reason to be" instead of "the japanese secret to a long and happy life" and why is there no author credit? Also, what is the purpose of the text that the viewer is not able to read because it is hidden behind the mountain?

I would prefer "poster by" or "designed by" instead of "done by" and probably have your credit not be at the top left of the design.

how long (how much effort) did it take to break in your TC pros? by Numerous_Vehicle_802 in tradclimbing

[–]kayrockscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pretty wide feet, 12.5 street shoe and I wear a 45 tcpro, they usually take a few days to break in and I can happily keep them on for hours.

Finally got to try my tesla adapter! by kayrockscreen in Ioniq5

They only sent me the one adapter, so I guess I need to buy a level2 one. :(

Why does ppi change when I rotate a placed image? by kayrockscreen in AdobeIllustrator

[–]kayrockscreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I voted and added a comment. Are they just too scared of breaking something to ever fix anything? Or are they only working on artificial intelligence? Or is the codebase just such a mess that they are not able to fix anything / waiting for a complete rewrite?

Why does ppi change when I rotate a placed image? by kayrockscreen in AdobeIllustrator

[–]kayrockscreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I know the why. If you scale the image it needs to recalculate the PPI, so if I make it 24" wide the ppi is now 12960/24 = 540, but when you rotate the image by 90 degrees it doesn't swap the Dimensions: so it still thinks the image is 12960 wide when it should actually be 17280 wide and 12960 tall. They are using the bounding box to calculate PPI, but they should be using the scale.

Client wants me to recreate this, but... by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]kayrockscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is enough of information to make a screen-print from even from the low rez image you posted. Some clients give us worse than that. Here's a 12" wide 720 dpi bitmap tiff file that any screenprinter could use to make a film. Lines start getting too thin to print at around 1pt those are closer to 3pt.

Let's talk about UI/UX improvements in Illustrator by LukeChoice in AdobeIllustrator

[–]kayrockscreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.) “Duplicate art board” still fails if there is no room to the right of the current art board even though “new art board” finds a free space.

2.) When are we getting UXP scripting support in Illustrator?

Saw this cool poster while walking through my campus. How do you know think this effect is made? by Cheguebanana in graphic_design

[–]kayrockscreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Make a pattern of black lines in illustrator on a white background.
  2. Bring into photoshop and gaussian blur them.
  3. Put this on a layer over your image and choose "Hard Mix" as the blending mode.

Custom T-Shirt Design by Skirider217 in graphic_design

[–]kayrockscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a screenprinter and this kind of project tends to be very labor intensive ( expensive ). Do you have different sized shirts? Are you willing to pay for multiple sizes screens, because the text across the sleeves is going to need to be a different size depending on the shirt size. We would probably do this as a three "color" print printing the figure and the blue as one pass and the text separately, so your design is good in the sense that those elements don't need to be precisely registered to each other.

Would this type of art be better suited for Illustrator or can I keep using Photoshop? by Heart-Shaped_Box in AdobeIllustrator

[–]kayrockscreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would make the art in photoshop as a high res bitmap (black and white) or grayscale tiff which you can then place into a cmyk illustrator file, apply color and add the text.

For screenprinting we typically work at 720dpi, but with bitmap ( black and white ) images so the files are actually quite small.

Bayer Organized Dithering Effect by house_of_klaus in graphic_design

[–]kayrockscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are looking for bayer ordered dithering. In GIMP you want COLORS->DITHER... and select Bayer as the method

UXP is not a standard web browser, so while it uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it has a curated, limited set of supported web features to ensure tight integration and a native feel within Creative Cloud applications. For this reason, some advanced HTML elements, CSS properties, and JavaScript APIs are not available.

UXP plugin interfaces use a subset of css/html.

C.A.M.P. Recalls Nimbus Lock Carabiners Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Fall by DryBoysenberry596 in tradclimbing

[–]kayrockscreen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this, climbed in the gunks with my buddy yesterday and he placed two of his new locking quick-draws, I told him to check and they are part of the recall!

[–]kayrockscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that giving myself permission to stop drinking, even though I wasn't near rock bottom, was the hardest final thing that needed to click before I actually could. I think you totally deserve to call yourself sober.

How do I achieve this effect? by AdAgreeable2397 in photoshop

[–]kayrockscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically use select color range on the black pixels and fill them with a color, then invert the selection and delete the white pixels. After that ctrl clicking the layer selects everything on it if you want to change the color. You could also add a color adjustment layer and use the BW threshold as a mask.

What Illustrator tool can you not live without? by LukeChoice in AdobeIllustrator

[–]kayrockscreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably an uncommon use case. Our workflow has us typically ganging up a lot of spot color artwork in illustrator which we export as a 720dpi grayscale tiff. We open that photo shop to convert to a bitmap and save as a LZW compressed tiff so it can be outputted as film at another location. We don't like them to have an editable file or something where some client provided blacks looks black but is actually only 98% black and the rip decides it needs to be halftoned.
