hey. i dont know exactly where to put this thread but hopefully someone will know and move it if needs be.

i was recently in a charity concert for tsunami relief and i came across a poster advertising a "boney m" concert.

all i could do was have a giggle to myself.

i love the design skills and the professionalesque gradients used on the outfits. EDIT:(sarcasm) /EDIT

ha ha ha. i was being sarcastic in the opening message. i was giggling cos the gradient fills were used really wrong and just didn't look right. (especially in the faces like you said)... i cant get over the fact that they used a rectangle for her neck. :D

and i was just using photoshop as a general term for picture design/graphic design.

lol.. i had a feeling you were being sarcastic.. it is a old school style though, so its not too bad for this kinda poster , since its meant to look old school, classy, funky.

(example : see picture 3 & 4). oh well, i didn't expect much cos it's in an rsl club. (which is where pokies are and they have cheap meals). EDIT: just noticed soulty that you're from sydney so the explanation of rsl clubs was for people outside aus. :goatee: /EDIT
