omg 1280 x 1024 is gonna mess me up

I know it's not very ~Green Day ish, but this photoshoot inspired me to go in a different direction

input please

(this isn't my finished design, just what I have so far..)

Wow, it looks absolutely amazing so far. :wub:

i know, right? :pinch: I hate cutting people because of their hair. that's one of the things i need to fix. though probably i'll take out that huge tre and put a smaller one

That seems like a good idea. Besides that, I like your wallpaper very much. :)

Omg, I haven't even started yet and I've got no idea what I'm going to do. xD

is anyone doing a rock band themed page?? and also a musical themed page?

I personally don't like the idea of a rock band themed page, cause it's not Green Day, but a game.. you know.. I'm making a Network themed page for June if that's ok. Nobody replied to my other post, but the only dates I have for June are 6 years since Milton Keynes, 1 year since Wembley, and 1 year since GDRB. Those are the only ones, right? :)

I started mine, but it looks like crap XD

I personally think that, since June is such a huge month for them in terms of playing live shows (Milton Keynes and Wembley Stadium), it should a a live-themed month.

But that's just my opinion.

Tbh, I just chose June cause it was one of the few months left, and I wanted to make something with the Network.. But then I saw June is like 'Milton Keynes and Wembley Stadium' month.. So now I want to do both. I don't know. Now I'm thinking of not doing the Network theme, but making it a live-themed month indeed. What do you guys think?

I agree with the live thing theme :)

Same here.

Anyways, I'm taking April

April

1st: April Fool's Day

2nd: Good Friday

19th: 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours turns 20

20th: American Idiot the Musical opened in Broadway one year ago

23rd: St George's Day

30th: Arbor Day (US)

I'm in doubt between two options: 1) using Early Days pictures to commemorate 1039/SOSH, 2) using American Idiot Musical related pictures.

What do you guys think? Any better ideas? Enlighten me!

I like the idea of using American Idiot Musical related pictures. I see Kerplunk came out in January, so maybe the person who's making that month could make an early days theme. Just my thoughts.

what I did was, instead of thinking of what era I should choose from, I thought about which photoshoots or which specific images stuck out in my mind. Then after I chose the images that I liked and wanted to work with I then thought of what direction a theme could go

omg that tutorial would be so long! I have like 25 layers and that's not counting layers I duplicated lolin all of my Photoshop work I work a lot with blending, brushes, and layer settings (such as Exclusion, Soft Light, Multiply, etc etc) That's how I get most of my cool effects. the most challenging thing was the background which is actually just a blend of 3 grunge backgrounds I found on googlebut I wanted to find the right colors and suchI'm actually gonna post a tutorial on the coloring for the GD pics I usedso whenever I have the time I'll post that (probably later tonight)

Haha, well I'm really impressed by your calendar image; it's awesome! :lol: Yeah, I just got Photoshop for college but I've used it before in highschool. But I typically use brushes, textures, layers, layer masking, and filters and such. But yes, a tutorial would be great; I need to improve my skills and I'd love to learn Photoshop techniques from as many talented people out there like yourself! :)

I agree with the live thing theme :)

Me too, same as The Network and musical themes, I think that'd look great :cool:

I didn't really think about the month when I did mine, I mean nothing much happens in August so I just picked 21CB because the album art is my favourite. I guess 21CB should be May though. Maybe I should redo it with like some old school stuff to represent Woodstock?

Posted

Alright then, I will go with the musical theme!

What are the dimensions?

1280 x 800 - 1280 x 1024 - 1920 x 1200 ??

*feels silly asking it again but can't find the page right now* :ninja:

I really like the idea of doing Woodstock and Dookie era stuff for August. But I did like your 21CB one that you did too. :) I just realized that last year for October, it was FBHT themed, and I was gonna do that for October this year! XD Glad I checked out the old calendar before I got started! So now I'm thinking of doing a Nimrod, Insomniac, and\or Warning era themed because of all those albums being released in October.

May's going to be Mike themed. He's more important than 21st CB. :P
