If Movie Posters Told The Truth 3 Stars

Inception

I don’t think I could have gotten more frustrated, and completed this one. I eventually caved from keeping the original poster dimensions, and cropped out the previous title and release date. I was going not necessarily pixil by pixil, but I was definitely spending way to much time editing the image so that it would appear as if the name wasn’t there previously. After I caved gimp decided that it was just straight out not going to function properly, and I spent a good 30 minutes, with a text box issue, where the things I was typing didn’t go where I had created the text box. Long story short, I eventually got it into allowing me to do what I had intended. Select, Crop to selection, Text, moved, Text, rotate, move. Bam there ya go. Should have taken me more like 10 minutes, to get the current product, versus the roughly 3.5 hours from opening gimp and editing (which had I gotten it to go the way I wanted to go, it should have taken me about 1-1.5 hours)

 

Pokemon Card 3 stars

Pokemon Card

I have been working on this one all week, doing slight adjustments etc etc. I went with Derpina, well it’s the internet, so I couldn’t help myself. I built the template myself (cheaters use others work!) Many many layers, cut the fire from a card (thus red) stole the gold borders as well, didn’t quite get it to what I had wanted, since what happened above. I probably put about 50 minutes to an hour into this, wanted to put more like 2 into it. Regardless, enjoy. If anyone wants to use the template, just ask, it is in gimp format, but I can save it differently if requested.

My computer has decided to eat itself, therefore, I am unable to complete that last 5-10 minutes on my other projects. GIMP will not allow me to even open up the current thing I was trying to save as a .jpg, or allow me to end the program. This would be not an issue, if my computer wasn’t being ridiculous all day to day. Regardless. I am sorry that I don’t have the 15 stars worth in content up.
