Photoshop Request - asking too much?

Oh and if you can do all that, i'll get you a mug made up too (if you want!)

Disappointed that no one has hid anything rude in the binary yet.

This my worry - these are so good I'm having them made up and intending to give them to my team, but also my boss - eek!

Holy poop! That is awesome!! I'll trust over the names. I'm going to get some mugs made up with the design on - i'll post the pics when done (may even become the team letterhead )

Please send me your pp details too - let me at least buy you a beer/coffee.

Thank you.

I'd check that image again before you get it stamped onto some mugs. :eek:

Yup my bad - had flash of inspiration with this idea last night and didn't proof read fully

If I had Photoshop I would've jammed the UK in-between Canada and Mexico.

Agree. Auntie Beeb will have a fit and be ALL OVER your rear end if you printed the mock TARDIS pic AND the name Meddling-Monk.

Will see what can be done about the Typhoon Jet (just saw that request addition now), will have some mock ups for that later. Will send you a few images of the font sizes for the names and which is preferred, as well as blip design so can get those ready for after I see if there's a good place or position to place the Typhoon.

v3 i think - it looks great. I am so glad you understood what i meant when i was talking about the red dot

I think the Typhoon would be the icing on the cake - but i bow down to your design skills.

That's fine. Although I have now looked more closely into what @darael said and looked into the binrary Ascii for the original and numbers I simply copied off the original image, and it does spell the f word, space, and then the letter b before it cuts off. Would you like me to replace the binary with something more appropriate?

Incidentally, it looks like that adding the Typhoon Jets onto the map of the UK is not going to look all too great due to overcrowding and they're really only visible when enlarged on the image itself. When factoring in the size on a mug, they'll be near impossible to tell from another jet anyway in most cases whislt crowding the map. I have tried having the Jets as silhouettes on the binary instead. But will need your own eyes to see if you can make out the Jets and that they are the Typhoons.

In any event, will send both designs so you can pick, in case you find it's not an issue on overcrowding the map look. Back in a bit.

ivrytwr3 · 24 Sep 2020 at 21:44

That is hilarious! Very good spot @darael.

Yeah, that would be unusable and could actually get us in trouble as no doubt management would think it was deliberate.

I was thinking just one typhoon - maybe facing us as a watermark, or a side profile running through the map.

darael · 24 Sep 2020 at 23:07

@Meddling-Monk @ivrytwr3
I was honestly found nothing wrong with the mug, not even thinking about checking the binary! I just wanted the OP to think that there was something wrong with it when there wasn't, like those Photoshop threads where nobody actually changes the original image. I thought maybe I was being trolled, but after checking it for myself I can confirm that the binary does indeed spell out a contain f-word. :eek:

Seems like I accidentally saved the day.

Bwhahahaha!!!!!

M-Monks work is amazing - can't wait to show the finished product here. But the work is that good, i am looking to get mugs, use the design on the teams stationary/site and also have some 'coins' made up to present to people.

So that could have been REALLY embarrassing.

ivrytwr3 · 26 Sep 2020 at 13:16

Well, what can i say, through conversation between Monk and I, the original concept has grown into something even better.

I have to say a huge thank you, we went back and forth on design concepts - for someone doing this on their own time and without any reward is a testament to this mans skills and compassion!

Also thank you to darael for saving me from embarrassment/sacking

ivrytwr3 · 26 Sep 2020 at 17:21

@Meddling-Monk

Do you have the hi-res images? Fricking Snapfish says "resolution too low". Bah!

Meddling-Monk · 26 Sep 2020 at 18:53

I thought that might have been an issue. Thankfully all the assets I've been using were reduced in size for overlaying on the image you requested to be built from. Should just be a simple matter to upscale the main base image from the US site, clean it up as I do that, and then reapply (realign and resize) the assets and should be golden. Should be able to get that done later tonight as my turn to cook today.

ivrytwr3 · 26 Sep 2020 at 22:23

Images received and accepted - order submitted!!

I'll post some pics when received and i'll also donate £10 to a local charity.

I really appreciate your help Monk - there aren't many people who would to the lengths to help someone the way you have helped me. Definitely one of the good guys

The finished image:

At least this time the binary translates to QCYEGX. Where's my free mug?
