Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. thread)

Sort of an idea from another forum but...

So a lot of skullbrainers are in the design industry or have a great interest in it. I figured this thread could be where some would post cool random things they're doing or show off projects they've been working on.

For example..

I messed around and did these today. Screwing around with the jpeg code of an image and then seeing what you get out of it:





Anyone else want to participate?

nice glitches! i took a class on internet art in school and one of my friends spent the whole semester doing glitch work- even did some neat animations. now i cant even remember his name!

im working on a shirt for BOWERY MAGAZINE- a little dark collective of stuff. not sure when the shirt is dropping but there were a few little tweaks here and there

Sweet illustration!

Clicking the website link I was expecting an actual magazine still cool none the less.

Tried messing with a .gif to see what that did. Not very much.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Love the illustration for the shirt Michael. I really appreciate how consistent you are in terms of quality, and stylistically. Keep us posted on when it comes out or how to get one.
I'm too tired from designing crap all day to mess around with fun stuff...but I love the idea of this thread to see what other folks are up to!

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

winu, I didn't know you could do that. Here's my try,,,

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Sweet! Yeah, I remember seeing someone do it a year ago or so and I tried to figure out how could I even get to the code of a jpeg but didn't figure it out. Picked up a magazine just the other day and low and behold a tutorial was there on pretty much how to do it!

It's a bit of a pain working with a PC though, because TextPad doesn't let you cut "null characters" so i'm really limited to what I could mess around with, but also adding your own text can create interesting things too.

I'm always too burnt out from doing corporate stuff all day to do any personal stuff
but here's an old concept I did for a friend's identity from a few years back.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Same here.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

I'm gonna make a shirt w this eventually & probably a painting w/o the text & xbones.

the jpeg code stuff is really cool, never knew.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

It's relieving to know this is a common thread.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

winu, come up here and get tattooed by wrest

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

I'd be afraid that he do more than just tattoo me with that gun.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Ha!

Are Jef's tattoos any good? I don't think I've ever seen any.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

i think he does really cool stuff esp the stuff that is a bit on the bizarre side

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

You'd be fine. I have a couple of tattoos from Jef.

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

Was just joking about that bit. Last I heard the accusation was bogus and was from a girlfriend who's made similar ones to men in the past.

But I did read that Wrest just got two-years probation lol

Thinking about making die-cut holographic stickers out of this:

 

Re: Make Cool Stuff Every Day (The Graphic Design etc. threa

A WIP bound to never be completed.
