Welcome to the week of Hate.
i thought it would be approprate to start with one of my least favorite things to use in my profession
Yes oh how i hate this filter.
So you ask why do I hate this soo. I have been thinking about his very hard lately trying to describe what i hate about this soo much and there are a few reasons. but i will only talk about the biggest reason cause i don’t want to develop carpal tunnel syndrome trying to describe all the many reasons on why not to use it.
I HATE PEOPLE. Its people that have made me grow to hate this so much. I have dealt with so many people that use this for just about everything they do. cause it just adds that “Extra Something it needed” ’click’ there we go now thats the ticket. i hate those people that use every filter there cause its there. just because there are filters doesn’t not mean any of the following
“Lets see how many of those things can i fit on this”
“Well that looks cool might as well throw it on there”
“Well a little bit of that looks pretty good SOOO a lot of it will make it AWESOME!”
“Done. Oh wait i didn’t use any filter gotta put some on there. Ok now I’m done.”
This is for you people if this reachs one person my goal is met so here it goes.
NO!! BAD!! NO!! (while i rub your nose in it)
If you are an artist and use this more than once a month you need to find a new profession. this is not a joke there are plenty of good jobs out there like…. well i can’t think of any for you if you are the kind of person that uses bevel and emboss a lot. Honest to god truth i have used this filter a hand full of times in my entire career and the sad part is the biggest chunk of the time is me recreating some old logo that wasn’t vector. Now i am not saying never use this cause there are sometimes where you just need it to fit but when you use it. Please don’t make it to the point where someone goes “Oh you used bevel and emboss nice i love the filter”
So MeaD what if I use it a lot and want to stray away from it how do i do that?
great question and i have just the poster for you to place beside your monitor.
that concludes our rant of hate for the day.
P.S. Comic Sans Sucks Don’t Use it either.
-MeaD.
