I ...Oh heck Mags - don't talk to me about properly! I love looking at sketchbooks and watching ideas develop, but have never been able to work like this. And I'd also like to be able to just 'play' directly with the materials but I am having to acknowledge the 'control-freak' in me and do what I do!!!Linda B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05490436237080230938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858630.post-14830491355050924732008-02-15T20:51:00.000+00:002008-02-15T20:51:00.000+00:00Hi LindaI wish I could see the design in advance i...Hi Linda<BR/>I wish I could see the design in advance in my head and i have a friend who does a similar process to you and tried to teach me, but it's useless, my brian just doesn't function like that.<BR/>I have an idea of what i'd like to create from the original inspiration, but that's as far as it goes, after that it's a case of bumbling along and hoping it'll work. That's why i use PS, to try and materialise what's in my head.<BR/>I had a brief encounter with CD many years ago and decided I couldn't learn 2 applications so chose PS, but i wouldn't mind seeing what it does.sharon younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227806755585216350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858630.post-89490993491519663182008-02-14T14:54:00.000+00:002008-02-14T14:54:00.000+00:00I'm impressed!

I use Photoshop to manipulate images but I've never thought of checking to see whether it has this grid function like Corel Draw - I'll have to investigate. <BR/>It's fascinating to see different peoples approach to design. Like you I have a picture in my head of the finished piece.I make a few notes and samples but generally record the stages after the event in my 'lab book' rather than plan. I've never been taught how to do it 'properly' as I haven't done C&G. I wonder whether that helps or inhibits those that have?magsramsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16559934058887308651noreply@blogger.com
