Art and Design If you like it, is it Art? What is the difference between a good design, a bad design and bad taste? Does form follow function? If something works, does it matter what it looks like?

Your sarcasm indicates you think I was being serious.

Thumbs up Re: How do i make an image more interesting?

I'm not going to lie, I know this is rubbish, but it's more like a rough draft. All you really need to do is add some tonal range on the record (some texture, light spots and dark spots, you know) and it will look just fantastic.

I showed a friend of mine Silverfuck's photoshop effort and he had an attempt. this is what he came up with:

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/9270/greattable2mx9.jpg although the turntable looks no way realistic, it does have a cool 3D effect

by the way, if you are wondering i am using the image with this site http://www.schtickers.com/ to create a sticker to stick on the back of my laptop

(not a diss against anyone i just thought of a funyn reply)

Well, there's several steps to makin an image more interesting. First, you have to take the image and go alone into a room, preferable a room with mood lighting an an overstock of KY jelly. then you need to make sure, and i repeat, make sure there's no one around. then coat the image in KY jelly and put it as far up your ass as you possibly can, put it up your asshole until you can feel the gastric juices beginning to digest that shit. then post it on the internet!
