Answer: Don't push your luck fucker. Just because you haven't been banned (yet) does not mean I or anyone else defends or supports what you do.

That would make Lens the father of the Matrix right? and who are you? the keymaker?

Poi is evil vile shit.

Pure luck.

Not that I know of.... unless you're counting yourself. I consider you a friend. (Whether I'm right in that assumption or not)

Also, why am I asking stupid questions late at night, did I get the GFY disease?

I thought we were lovers?

Why does my piss smell like tuna when I eat too much of it, but it doesn't work that way when I eat, lets say chocolate?

On this board, Lens is God. Forget that for an evening, and you're toast.

Who am I? I'm nobody. I'm a graphic guy that works here. On this board, I'm merely a moderator in every sense of the word. I moderate. I like to think I do so fairly, but given the dynamic of this board, it's not always easy to be 100% fair. Idiots seem to flood in at alarming rates. There's plenty of shit I don't care for that slides soley because, it's not my place to judge. But I have a deeply vested interest in the well-being of GFY. My heart and soul has been put into this place, so I damn sure won't hesistate if someone crosses the lines.

As often as necessary. :)

Who's gonna win the Superbowl this Year?

ahhh.... okay, sorry.... should have caught it, but I didn't and still haven't. What exactly is the sarcasm? Because unless you're on the inside, you haven't seen anything I've done in at least 7 months.

what the fuck is the superbowl? Chinese eating contest?

I understand that you no longer freelance....but perhaps you could recomend someone...

I need an allaround designer, coder, marketing who can take an idea and build a tour that would appeal to younger men, colleges frat brothers...men in their fifties....the surfers who are pretty much living their social lives in front of a monitor....

this project must have instant credibility....stylish women...not glamor....not fully nude....lots of tease...

the product to be sold is a 4 day, three night whoremongering trip to the island of Curacao....where golf, girls, tennis, girls, scuba diving, girls, snorkling, girls....did I mention girls. are all available....

the highlight of the trip are the nightly visits to Campo Alegre, also know as The Marige.....an all inclusive compound with 175 plus lovely latinas to service a man's every desire....each girl has her own tiny apartment....and most but not all are agreable to return with you to your hotel....

it is thought that the traffic will come from TPG's.....but other avenues can and will be explored....

so....if you know of anyone who would be interested in doing such a project....please have them contact me at [email protected] ....

thank you in advance.....

sorry POV i had to step out.. but what Sassy ass said is about it.. there are tons of good websites about color schemes and marketing.. and what effect they have on the surfer. remember google is your friend

Its the biggest sports event (Football) of the Year.





What is your favorite Chinese food dish?

in the vaguest form of question, what is the best method of getting sales. which "device" would u use? tgp avs, etc...

Again, I'm probably the worst person to ask such a thing of..... but if I had to pick one over the other, I'd probably go with TGP. Just seems much more adaptable/expandable than limiting yourself to such a baseline as galleries (which get submitted to TGPs) or AVS, where you rely on so many outside factors.

I hate chinese food.

any good book u recommend on learning the fundamentals of designing?

In the color scheming, use your head. there are plenty of color matching sites out there avail for free to assist you, but you gotta use your head in the end in choosing. There's no magic formula. Use colors that work, and experiment when you can, but when it counts, use what works.

have you ever cheated (sexually) on your current partner?

What are ten good tips to achieving an overall good design?

I never read a book, never took a college course (pertaining to design), I'm 100% self-schooled. Well.... not completely true. I invested in broadcasting school, which taught me alot. I never intended to go into broadcasting, but rather, applied what I learned toward the production aspect. And in that regard, I was top of my fucking class. Dennis Erectus (for those that recognize the name) gave me personal kudos, and that's something. I still have my project folder. He was disappointed in the fact that I wasn't applying it to radio, but was finally satisfied that I had a strategy and goal in mind, which was far more important than grabbing some $6 buck an hour job in North Carolina as a DJ.

As far as specific books, I would recomend books that get you in tune with yourself over any "design" book. Design comes from within. Read up on Tao Te Ching, Martial Way, maybe some Einstein, maybe some bio physics..... that's how I got here. In the words of Bruce Lee..... look inward. :)

Never. Crossed my mind a few times..... but no.

Do u think ur success can be duplicated in september 2003?

Amp... thanks for the advice. I'm gonna slap my designer with it ahora and lite a match under his ass. You're alright - no matter what Brad Shaw, Labret, Sex un-education and lil2gay4u say. I'll send you a bucket of snow come November.:thumbsup

Am I banned yet for being nice? Sorry.

That's not what you told me in Vegas!!!!!


just kidding...

(i know your better half reads this and I was just teasing you)

#1: THINK.

that means, take down all the details you possibly can about the job..... squeeze them for more than they know. And sit down and think. Watch TV. LISTEN to the radio. Don't just hear it... LISTEN. Listen to the commercials. Hear how they "sell" you...... the different effects, different music, voice inflections..... read magazines, read newspapers, look through your cupboards. See and hear everything. Advertising is your world...... know it. Start grabbing elements you see, hear, & like, that fit your project, and piecing them together. Draft out your project this way. Notice how the radio spots, the TV spots, the billboards..... notice how they all FLOW. That's your goal.

#2: Take into account the reputation or lack of reputation of your client. You need to do one of these: Maintain it, boost it, or build it.

#3: Know your environment. You build within limits. They may not be what you prefer, but they are what you gotta deal with. Don't get stupid creative when your client nor your target will appreciate it. Build within your limit.

#4: Lay down your header and your base pics first. Everything else will build off that. This is often disregarded by many.... but it is ESSENTIAL. You MUST lay the foundation, and build from there.

#5: Flow. Without going into unique trial stuff, fas a general rule, flow the site from upper left, straight across the header, hinting toward lower right. There you wanna put something extreme. Something eye grabbing. A burst, a hardcore pic, or text that promises something unheard of. Whatever.... this is your attention point. Your attention point is going to lead left again. And it needs to lead to another attention point. Not necessarily as drastic as the first, but still remarkable. From there, flow right and down.... more attention to the down on a much broader scope. Focus on the whole workspace if possible. This is your main content..... this is where you're leading them. And it needs to be good. Flow this down evenly through the rest of the page to your foot. Your foot should be dramatic, but not more than the head. Many people fail here. Make your foot work for you. Make it convincing. It should be louder than your center content, but not louder than your head.

#6: Cut your images WELL. No one respects badly cut images. Any fucking fool can do that. Cut that shit precise. Sometimes I spend 2 hours cutting one image. Do it fucking right. In the end, it's YOUR ass on the line. You either get labeled mediocre or prime. Which do you prefer?

#7: Know your plugins. Whether it's Photoshop of Fireworks... or both.... know your plugins, what you can do with them..... experiment.... and also know what you CAN'T do because you'll be labeled a hack newb defaulter.

#8: Learn HTML & CSS. Code your shit to be as out-of-the-can as possible. No one likes to pay good money for a site only to have to either code up all the html themselves or PAY someone else to code it up. Be a fucking pro from start to finish.

#9: If you ever have someone ask you to change something, DON'T take it personally. CHANGE IT. It's not your site. You can offer advice and opinions and insight.... but in the end, if they want a change.... you fucking change it, and you do it at no charge.

#10: Be flexible. If your client wants you to work with a programmer, or a scripter, or whoever..... do it. They want you to do something above and beyond what you thought.... do it. If there is ever a fucking problem, refund them without complaint. Be professional. If you operate like scum, or treat your clients as scum.... your career in the biz will be short lived. Proven time and again.





Afternotes: This was typed up assuming you were a designer. If you're a program owner or an independant, then some parts won't apply.

not sure what you mean..

Would you like to switch houses for a month? :)

it's not so much the house, as the location and the stuff inside it....
