I think you’ve improved it a lot, but it loses a little punch with a single sentence in my opinion. I would do:

“You are what you eat,” the Blue Fairy told Pinocchio. He gazed toward the elementary school.

If we’re going pie in the sky I would want to see any models built on work they didn’t obtain permission for to be shut down.

Failing that, any models built on stolen work should be released to the public for free.

What The Font is another one to look up. Sometimes they’ll give different results so worth trying both.

Let’s go straight to omega male. The male to end all males.

I do a lot of print design too so I feel it

That’s definitely good stuff. Affinity is also lacking in interface customization I’ve found.

Do pokeballs not work on humans, or do people just avoid doing it out of taboo?

Appreciate that perspective. I also can’t wait to kick Adobe to the curb someday, but I usually have the same experience when trying alternatives.

Adobe stuff is slowly falling apart though it feels like. It’s coasting on the brilliant work of the original devs pre-creative cloud, and while there have been a few genuinely good features added over the years, I hate to say that most new features they add feel like amateur hour to me. They just lack the level of polish and attention to detail that old features had. It doesn’t feel like the people making it understand the workflow of a professional anymore. They’re also just getting slow. Whenever I open Affinity I’m struck by how much more performant it feels!

I’ve been curious about Corel for a while, so I may need to bite the bullet and get it sometime.

Illustrator is absolutely a byzantine mess lmao. The reason it’s so favored (I don’t want to say loved, but favored) is because of the depth of features, and also how fast it is to work in once you’ve learned it’s bizarre interface.

Some of it is definitely unfamiliarity, but I always find when using Affinity that things that are a single click or a hotkey + click in illustrator are multiple clicks without a hotkey in affinity. In isolation not a huge difference, but when you do it full time it adds up.

I did a salt marsh campaign that I themed like Louisiana bayou country. I had a whole society of reclusive swamp gnomes with Cajun French accents. I still miss those guys. They were cool and spooky.

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen one. Are we sure they’re real?

This is good to know!

You may not know if you exclusively use Corel, but where do you think Corel stands compared to Illustrator these days?

I’m a pro graphic designer, so you can be as technical as you like.

I’ve been messing around with Affinity Designer a bit lately, and while it’s gotten a lot better over the years (and some features have surpassed Adobe), the little things and workflow stuff is still such a step down I find it hard to want to use it still.

Covers are actually a very useful tool to judge things by. It’s kind of the whole reason they exist.

I can tell how much you’ve been practicing by the size of that pointer finger!

All jokes aside, nice job. 😄

There are regions with android phones without play store?

I like my cat but I already see more of his butt than I’d like to, so I don’t get this obsession either.

MySpace let you customize the code for your page directly, so you could add all kinds of stuff. Change colors, fonts, add music, etc. There were some truly eye melting pages people made lmao

Life doesn’t happen on your schedule.

Next they’ll tell me that people on the internet have strong opinions they don’t mind sharing!

Wasn’t there an article on here just the other day saying it had been sold to someone else? Glad to hear they’re indie either way. We need more of that in all forms of journalism these days.
