seriously, just stfu if you have nothing reasonable to say...just because you cant achieve anything in your life doesn't mean it's humanly impossible for other to do so...mumu

^^please just shut the hell up, you guys are not helping yourselves when you pretend to be signed to a label you're not..its cheap and downright self destructive..how will people take you serious?..dumbness

happy Independence Nigeria

TerryCarr: i don't see them replacing there language with English like the Africans do. as long as there in your nation they should learn the local language/s your not going to get far with English in Brazil

They are not required to learn our language but for the ones that do, kudos to them, it might be the difference between making or breaking a business deal. now turn the tables around and picture yourself competing for an investment from a chinese business man alongside an american, speak the lingo and you would have already given yourself the edge.
even Alan Sugar said the same here in the UK. we have to make these guys our friends now before its too late.

Its a forward thinking move. fast-forward 20 years from now when China is a force to be reckoned with, we wont be left hanging. language is one of the best ways to break the bridge gaps when it comes to business so in all fairness, I'm in full support of this. Those of you saying they dont know our language should think again, Ive seen a Chinese man that has a shop in lekki, speak pidgin.

Area_boy: WTF man! fck u too!! hundred folds over! cvnt!

I made a simple comment. if you read some other sections besisdes your stupid celebrety news, you'll see better topics missing out the front page. Why this one makes the front page is what i dont understand. I dont need you to run your mouth here like a clever a$$hole. son of a gun!!

MYOFB!!!!!


You and people like you will always remain in the shackles of stupidity. What the hell happend to genuine critisism? I should stfu becos I've never created a website? This website is for everyone and everyone has the right to his or her own opinion. Dont be a d1ckhead and act smart here

punk a$$

Mization: The topic says "A childhood photo of May D". Yet some people opened it and started complaining, But who forced u to open the thread in d first place. #Just thinking loud#

i know right? The stupidity people exhibit on the website is jaw dropping.

@op - sure boy..shame things didn't work out with p-square

kunletiwoo: Don't get it wrong bro! Cos the bible say's

"To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the [i]s[/i]pirits of just men made perfect
Hebrews 12:22-24

Note: It's not all about the personality of the man of God, but his [b]s[/b]pirit which is beneath God's own [b]S[/b]pirit is what people make reference to.

if we start painting grey areas like this, where do you draw the line and distinguish between worshiping God and worshiping man.

Statements like this should be discouraged, Period!

Drones are a cheaper and safer option though, also an advantage considering the range they have to cover, targets can be laced and enemies supressed sharply..we don't need to buy new jets.the ones we have now should do..but I don't see this happening in Nigeria tbh, not with our backward approach to ideas.

Funny stories on here boi, my ex left me 'cos she said I was too distracting and she had to focus on her career..ouch!..took it in strides though, we're friends now.

at least he manned up and apologized, cut the guy some slack.

Gotta give it to them man, the concepts are always interesting

seriously..somebody delete this BS thread

deols: that's just the kinda question they wont be too bothered about. Dont judge their lives by yours. They prolly are alredy used to waiting for the right time and the right person unlike the 'any thing, place,body goes you are used to.

pretty sure you can get your point across without insulting me

you have my support! these a-holes steal from us without contributing back to the society while the fat cats here in the west enjoy the profit. they even get their kids employed from here and take them back home to acquire high positions while the communities that have to suffer the consequences of these operations are living in poverty. if the government won't do anything, appoint a leader and come up with a systematic process to destabilise the whole operation with as little violence as necessary.

In some countries, multi-nationals are required to sign deals that force them to give qualified indigens priority when it comes to employment, why should it be different for you? If you don't ask for what is yours, people will use you, smile, pat your head and call you 'good boy' while you are dying in poverty.

Stand up and take what is yours!

Bro. i luv you honesty,our fathers definitely had theirs too where they made some few mistakes even though we may not want to mention it because the post said [b]"What do you like about your father". However,i have got to learn from his mistakes and vowed not to repeat them.I have two girls today and have put a stop to baby making;there is so much pressure on me to have more kids because everyone feels i am doing well and can still accommodate more but i strongly believe it is not the number that counts nor a male or female child but the quality of life you give to them.We cannot change our yesterday or today because it is gone but we can change our tomorrow.Hope your kids will have so much they like about you.Cheers.

thanks man

Bawss1: In fairness the ThisDay article stated that the CEO of Honeywell is Chris Bale not Christian Bale. Still, how the reporter thought it fitting that it must be the Batman actor is a mystery.

Maybe the Joker has taken over ThisDay newspaper.

i see what you did there

I only like the fact that he left me some land somewhere in benin...d guy no try, left my pregnant mum to go pay some next girls fees through uni from start to finish..at the time we dey struggle to eat. im not a huge fan of him to be honest..if he was alive i would've sat his ass down for a long lecture.

im happy to see that some men are responsible enough to raise their kids and do so willingly and lovingly. Shows not all men are the same

interesting..how will they get laid though..picture having to catch a flight or long a_ss train ride just to get some nooki.

i believe there are good nigerian girls out there that would do someting like this..met one here on NL 'bout 3 years ago. first girl to ever buy me a present when i wasn't celebrating anything. she never asked for nothing back..lost her though..long distance,impatience..yada yada yada..point is, there are some nice people - male and female about but it takes alot of patience and luck i suppose, to meet them.

its fake..nice 'shopping though

so ill get the ball rolling;

here's a break down of a personal piece i've been working on for close to a week now.
thought i'd name it 'nail in the head' but its starting to take another direction..drop a line or two

i started with a sketch to visualise what i had in mind (it always helps)

https://i.imgur.com/kpPTp.jpg

i thought i'd add a scroll aswell to add some text and character to the overall image;
(the scroll is actually a trace of a vector stock)

https://i.imgur.com/oXMWv.jpg

so I fired up illustrator to begin sketching;

now is time for the hard part. its always tricky to determine where lights fall on an object and where shadows do..especially when you are working from imagination..its usually a trial and error thing...

a few close ups you might be interested in;

might have to touch that up a bit

this came out well in my opinion

those shadings are called 'hachures'..originally invented for maps
but they work well for creating depth in illustrations.

as you can see, its incomplete and i will update it as time goes on..

so yh..what do you think?
any questions?..suggestions?..lets hear it.
thanks.

Of late, the quality of work i see on this section has been sub par. not to say i'm a pro, we are all learning. but i dont see any drive for improvement in what a lot of us put out here.

there's no arguing that graphic designers in general dont get rewarded well enough for the amount of work they put into building a company image, be it PR, advertising or just plain ol' graphic representation of info so the lacklustre attitude is understandable..nonetheless, if you do something, might as well do it right.

so here's my idea; this should be a space where people can bring their work, get constructive criticism, and just throw ideas in general. That way, we can start to raise the bar if not on anywhere, on nairaland at least.
people can come here to get ideas on how to approach creative projects and execute then in a polished fashion.

So this is how it should be done;

** post your work and explain thought process (what made you choose that shape/colour/perspective)
** if possible, throw in a small tutorial so we all learn from each other.
** if you need feedback, ask for it and anyone can throw in a suggestion..we all need a different opinion from time to time.

any form of biased or pointless criticism will be subject to removal as this is not the time and place for that e.g 'that is very ugly', 'it looks terrible', etc..instead make suggestions like; 'i think it would look better if you change this colour to that colour' or 'you could try put this on that and see how it looks'..you get the idea.

it should be a thread where people can pick a thing or two.

this might morph into something else at the end of the day so rules are subject to change, so here goes...

...sorry peeps, I have got a
question bothering me, please I
just learnt to design print ready
materials using Photoshop but
I heard that most printers use
corel format for printing. please
how do I move my psd designs
to core draw without losing any
Photoshop effects in core
draw? thanks peeps


solution 1: Save your final job as
PDF and proceed to import it to
Corel draw
Solution 2: Save as PNG and
proceed to import to Corel Draw
Solution 3: Save as Tiff (big file size
not recommended)


The PDF option is usually the best
route to take but I use option 2
the most. Just make sure you set
your color space to CMYK before
you start your work or you can use
RGB and pray for the best.

just tried the pdf option but I got import error , ...the file is
corrupted. ..why is that so?


I tried the png and tif f ones too but the design was too very large and the also very dull looking.

save in CMYK. that is the designated print format. you were supposed to start work in CMYK mode anyway (knowing it would be for print). PDF is also good but i hate to work with it. its advantage is the security(PDF files can be encrypted) and portability among different software (pretty much anything can read the files..even browsers).

when you convert to CMYK, you will most likely have to rework the colouring but this time you know what you see is what you get.
hope i helped.

lol, y'all should call on your gods for this one
